REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT: SELECTION For the reverse engineering project, I choose three possible objects that I found interesting. For my first option, I decided on the speedball lino cutter as it has a lot of little pieces, and it is easy to put it apart and back together. It has a twist_off end cap, cutter storage and a chuck system, which is easy to set apart. For my second option, I chose a cute camera pencil sharpener which has different parts that can come apart. I am kind more toward my first option as I don't know if I can put it back together once I put it apart. So it will be interesting to try and see how the mechanics work. For my third option, I decide on the Wacom pe
SURFACE DESIGN STUDY: RESEARCH & DESIGN For this assignment, I went on a scavenger hunt. For my search, I concentrated on patterns and geometric shapes. My original idea was more toward organic forms, which I considered since I was inspired by Mexico. Since I wanted to incorporate some of that feeling and colours into my pattern design, I researched some exciting ideas and vibrant colours. I focus on geometric shapes, especially squares I arranged into each other, obtaining attractive design composition. I kept working on my idea until I was happy with the pattern, the beginning to hatch, which was time-consuming, but I was having fun. Here is a close up of my final design before hatching. Hatch and choose vibrant colours working with the colours close up! Final composition:
