Entry 19 - Process

I will show the step by step process of how I created the small shelf using google sketchup. I will just be describing the simple tools and functions I used to show a range of skills.

Entry 17- shelf 1 design using google sketchup

Above is client 1's desk design through using the software of Google sketchup.
I found this software easy to access, and it was user friendly. I was able to use all tools, including rectangle, circle, push/pull, bucket, and selection to its full use. overall I thought this software was not only efficient to use, but produced proffessional outcomes. However, this design was specifically meant for Veronica Morlotti, though as I had to change clients a few minor alterations were made to the final product. Only being that there are no patterns to be added on top and it is just to be left the way it is.

Entry 16- Materials needed for graffiti design

I have decided to use this design as my final product and to carry out this practically, having finished, painted and polished by the end of the project. The reason i have chosen this particular design is that i feel it will be both a challenge for me to make, however also look appealing (fitting the target audience perfectly).
For this shelf i will need:
-Spray paints of different colour
- 2cm thick wood
- Nails
-Sanding machine for refinement
-Small hooks

Before starting the project I will need to do more background research and practice drawing in the graffiti style.

Entry 15- rough sketch for graffiti design

The design above follow the specifications of client 1 Zaha Refaaq, ideas given by her themselves. In the next blog I will show evidence of the interview confirming the client is okay with the design and is satisfied.

Entry 14- Design stage ( product one )

Examples of design look something along the lines of this:





This client's specifications may be slightly more detailed and challenging to draw, however I propose to go through with the same process.
results for the second product include

- a black painted background
- compartment styles: small plate with holes for earrings, file slits, bended wire and clips for picture, and hook for bracelets e.t.c.
- graffiti design spray painted with templates on the black wood.

Entry 13- First rough design (hand drawn)

This is a rough sketch of specification [client 2] Veronica Morlotti's product design:
Specification:
• Theme = Summer
• Wood painted blue
• Long slits main compartment style
• White cover ( material)

According to this criteria, I will do my best to create a graphical design so that the proposal to the client is more proffessional. The fact that i have experience in using designing software such as corel draw and google sketchup in Art and Design Technology lessons will help with this.
