Paper Craft Prototype


For the paper craft project I decided to replicate the Nintendo 64 logo because I think it has a really interesting shape to it where the “N” shapes repeat and intertwine. As a kid my brothers and I went to our friends house every day before school and we would all head down to their basement where only the light of the TV screen illuminated the room. Each and every day we would play Mario Party laughing and shouting with our friends in the early morning and it's something I'll never forget. I also remember how sometimes on the weekend it would be a special occasion where we would go to the movie store and rent a game for the weekend. Playing games like Super Smash bros and 007 Golden Eye. These are some really fond memories from my childhood and the other reason why I chose to recreate the logo for the Nintendo 64. 



I split "N" shape into half sections so that I could copy the same piece several times and then connect them together like puzzle pieces to build the complete model.

Hybrid Object Design (Comprehensive)

For the Hybrid object design project Emily and I originally compared our concepts and we both really liked her design with the flipped tetrahedrons. We chose a couple of my own as well though  I did not feel like they were strong enough concepts. I went back to the drawing board and made the chess piece looking model with the flipped heart shapes on it. From there we started mixing our concepts on paper and in rhino.   (Emily P.) +   (Zach T.) =                           (Version 1)                                                (Version 2)    Sketching out some concepts : -Different Punches on the sides -Different ways of stacking the triangular shapes -Different ways of combining out objects Original Tetrahedron model.

Paper Craft Objects: Digital Samples

Image
For the digital samples project I decided to do one larger model broken down into different subsections and several other more simplistic objects. The challenges I faced during this project were getting used to modelling in Rhinoceros5, speeding up my workflow, and trying to build better habits and techniques when building objects. I had some trouble rounding off the tank treads so after a while I decided to move on and focus on my other models. It was interesting unfolding some models because they had to be broken down into smaller components so that they could actually be assembled and not overlap one another on the 2D plane. I enjoyed modelling some of the simple objects more such as the flashlight, pen, and chair. I think it's really cool how with some of the objects you can even guess what they are by looking at their unfolded version.

Objectified Documentary Assignment

Image
After watching the 2009 documentary "Objectified" I decided to build and slightly modify one of the record players that Dieter Rams designed for the company Braun. I like the German Industrial Designer's work because it is simple and everything has a purpose and reason for being there. Dieter Rams is regarded as such a successful designer due to the fact that his products need no manual, they are viewed and understood. Front Corner View Front View Back Corner View Top View
