Me in a nutshell

Ever since I was little, I have been interested in arts and crafts. Growing up, I was always busy crafting, painting, or scrapbooking projects of all sorts. I am pursuing design as a career because of this, I want to be allowed to let my creativity and imagination flow freely. I am inspired by everything around me, both by things tangible and felt. I hope to learn as much as possible about commercial and residential design, and learn to take on whatever challenges I am presented with.

MODULE to CONCEPT MODEL

This is the transformation of my module into a 3D model. I tried out a series of ideas of how I could incorporate the same twisting and looping motion from the module into the model. I ended up using a piece of wired ribbon and wrapped it around a PAM spraycan and then starched it. I also put some extra mod podge on it to help maintain the circular shape and then followed it with some spray paint. I think that I was successful at combining all of my keywords into the model. I wish though that I would have used a thicker piece of yarn and a larger circular mold to wrap it around so that it was bigger. The appearance of the ribbon looks kind of like leather which was an unexpected added bonus. It sort of reflects the smooth aspects of the metal that originally inspired the module itself.
