During the first week of 3D Design, we started creating three- dimensional forms using different materials such as cardboard, straws, wood, wire and plastic. The aim was not to create something specific, but to try and experiment with shape and form, as much as possible. At first, I started using only one type of material for each object however, when I started combining more than one material together, I noticed that the final outcome was more unique and interesting. In some of them, I used a glue gun in order to connect all the parts together and this gave a more clean-cut to the form. But when I used other things, such as tape, to connect everything, I found out that it was becoming part of the aesthetic of the object. I am pleased with most of the three-dimensional forms I created however, I think that I could have experimented more with materials.
Later on during the week, we had to do some drawing observations of our creations and this allowed me to view my objects in different angles and to become more familiar with their three-dimensional form. This helped me later on, when we had to transform our objects into products.
Since I want to study Product Design next year, I tried to transform each one of my three-dimensional forms into a product. I did not want to be specific as to what I was going to design therefore, at first, I tried transforming them into various products, such as bookcases, tables, accessories and many more. This gave me the opportunity to explore the forms more and to get an understanding of the world of design. I really enjoyed this week since it made me think out of the box in order to create my designs. In addition, I realize that you can get inspiration from everywhere and I believe that this is try important because it will help we in my future projects.
