Exploring models through mixed materials 

The different materials used when constructing models can create clean or messy looks. Materials including cardboard, paper, baking paper and wooden sticks can all be used differently to create different looks within models. For example the use of white cardboard in conjunction with baking paper and wooden sticks creates a modern, clean look whereas Just-Right cardboard packaging creates a disjointed, messy look that is unappealing and detracts from the model its self. Therefore, various different materials used within the construction process can drastically change the outcome, creating a more positive or negative perception towards the model.

Photoshop of models - Week 8

Photoshopped images of my model in a range of different natural materials. In this weeks activity I really struggled with the photoshop aspect as I had only done photoshop in week 1 briefly. Photoshop is definitely an aspect I will need to improve on in the future. 

Fusion 360 model net and cardboard model - Week 7

In this weeks activities I completed a cardboard model and net of my fusion360 model from week 5. I found this exercise quite enjoyable, but it did require some patience with glueing the tabs together. The net also had to be cut from two sheets of cardboard and then sticky taped together as it was to large for one sheet.

Fusion 360 3D shapes - Week7

This week I created a Fusion360 model of my initials (G, W, C). I struggled initially with forming the letters in a way that allowed them to 'shell'. However after consulting my tutor we were able to identify a formation that allowed this process to work. 

This model is created with a smooth bamboo finish for the left side both inside and outside and a see-through dark tinted glass for the right side, allowing light to pass through. I used this combination of materials to create an idea that the model could be used as an artistic piece in a children's play ground, allowing them to crawl through and seeing what's going on outside. 

This model is created with a dark black exterior and a gold tinted interior colour. I used this colour creation as a metaphor for its what's on the inside that counts and no matter how dark things can get, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. 

This model is created with a red textured interior and black granite and white plastic exterior. It represents the colours found in the kitchen at my house, and although they look quite good at a large kitchen scale, in a model of this size they are quite repulsive and are opposites of each-other. 

Home-made model with light source - Week 7

In this weeks model I created a similar to the one I completed in week 5, with similar materials except at a smaller scale. I also changed the window to allow more light to filter in and out, giving the model a more modern aspect and feeling. The roof was changed to accommodate the lighting as I didn't want to detract from the shadow created from the light source.
