Sketch up - Building tin design
Development stage of the design brief and improve the paper origami hinged box model with approximate dimensions for 3-D model prototyping. By using the “Sketchup” software to generate 3D and export STL files for 3D Printer software (ReplicatorG) conversion. There were a lot of trials, failures and error corrections (takes days or weeks) to arrive at a workable prototype

 Below are screenshots of this process: 
First tin lid


To construct these shapes there is a tool bar at the top which allows the user to alter, lifted up the desired shape. 

Then export STL files for 3D Printer software (ReplicatorG) conversion. Which is a program for the 3D printer. Select place model object on platform and centre it and then type in the right figure and code and save it in the SD card as a 3xgm. 



Put the SD card in the 3D printer machine and begin to select your print. Depending on the size and thickness of the model it may take at least 3-4hours. 

This is what it should look like in the 3D printer. 


Selection of 3D printer failures
This is either to do with the wrong size or scale of the model. The plastic gets tangled at the back - hence not enough plastic going through the nozzle. Base of the 3D printer is too hot that the plastic model is stuck on the platform. The base is not hot enough that the plastic cannot stay on the plastic and the model is building something in mid air but needs to start with a bigger surface due to it building up from layers.

Studio Brief 01 - How Do You Read? - Second Development

In this blog, I have finish printing out the physical  small publication book of Design Principles. I believe this second  development work was successful as the colours of the type has  been nicely and evenly printed out.The information on the  pages are arranged properly in the right order as to the the one  on the Macbook. However, I need to chose a different type of paper  stock which is much sturdier, e.g - card stock. As when I put the rubber band around the spine of the book it curls. Even though the  visuals of the book is very minimalistic and simple I believe this is  appropriate to the audience who would read this kind of book context.  Especially, for young students who want to learn the right knowledge  and information of design principles, whilst becoming a Graphic Designer. For the colour scheme I went for a very neutral yet colourful scheme,  as these colours only outline the significant factors of Design...

Studio Brief 01 - Secret 7: Final Design

In this design board, I have chosen this Record Sleeve design cover to be my final  submission for the live brief - Secret 7. I particular favoured this design as it really  portrayed the artists song and style well as the variety of the different shades of blue tones gave a good theme for the overall concept of the chosen lyric that I selected. “You were the perfect star. Again describing the meaning of the design will be yet again explained here. The symbolism  of the star is similar to a heart of the person who is going through a heart break thus this  is similar feeling when the break bit is being cracked like glass. The glass look makes it  highlight that the person’s heart is very sensitive and weak and the colours of the different  shades/tones of blue express their unhappiness and also how innocent and pure they are. The way the star outline repeats depicts how the person is slowing forgetting the perfect star  which has broken the heart...

Objectivity - Subjectivity

Evaluation: Overall, my final evaluation including looking at my peers/year tutors feedback of my logotype. Has shown that I needed to do more research into my colours, as I tried to stick with the original colours of the current logo of Krispy Kreme. As my last critique group told me to stick with them without changing it. Some liked and disliked the outline of the typography as some say it looked like icing, whilst others said it would be better if it were fuller so it makes more of an impact. Most of the comment was about the bad colour choices of the Green as it has connotations of an industrial, chemical and unhealthy look. But some said it could have connotations of high sugar as for a donut. Everyone recognised the doughnut shape for the logo, some saw the neon letter as an American diner look as my critique group told me to stay with the retro look. One of my others peers comment, that the use of the contrast between the Sans Serifs and Serif typography is appropriate to d...
