Project 1: Combination of new and old furniture

The idea of this project is to find a antiquated imagery resource and recreate or alter it. Because I am interesting in designing furniture and products, I choose to model furnitures from past and modern time and then, I will try to combine them to see what interesting thing is going to happen. For the antiquated imagery source, I chose this one:

This is a classic chair design by an American furniture design in 19 century (18XX). I combined the back part of this chair with a modernly designed single sofa . I modeled legs of this chair and combine them with a glass surface to create a tea table. Here is the result of my idea:

3D Banana

Here's my banana still with blue background.

This is the array I created this weekend.

3-D screw driver

This is what I've done in Thursday's class from tutorial. My computer doesn't allow me to save my rendered image and I still can't figure why, so I just use lab computer to save this image.

ArtD 471 3-D Computer Imaging

I've used this blog for last term for 410 class, and I found that it is painful to make another blog, so I will continue using this blog and post my works for this class.

Decision for project 2

From discussion with my group member that some of them are going to design a handbook about environment, I think I can also do something with it for my theme. Since I've got a bunch of waste CDs these years, I'm going to reuse them as my project. Also, I'm more interested in how laser cutter works, so I've decided to use laser cutter as my tool. Finally, I've decided to cut or etch logos or symbols on waste CDs with laser cutter.

Project 2

I've chosen the tool focus group for my next project.
In fact, I still don't know much about what I'm going to do next. Since I didn't get the chance to use laser cutter and vinyl cutter, I plan on use either of these tools for my next project. The idea that comes to my mind so far is that I am gonna design some symbols or logos and make sticker or poster of them. The reason is that I've worked as a logo and poster designer in a construction company and I am interested and have passion on make symbols that are abstract or have meaning. The next question is I'm still thinking about what materials to be cut or put stickers on. I think it should fit into a theme or an idea.
