Word Image

My Process

The word and image project was actually an interesting project. We had to create images using only things we could find in the newspapers. the only problem i had with this project is that i didnt divide my time wisely, we had to create to different images and i used all of my time on one. The one i spent most of my time on was a spiral of problems, stress and struggles. i used a Xacto knife to put score marks in it to show a damaged image which i believe helps with the hardships explained in the image. The other one i used the excite and contrasted with a boring background. It could have  been a lot better if i had used a better background, instead of text i should have used something like weather or stocks... Photos coming soon...

Modular Madness

Final...

I was very happy with my final product but not so much with my grade. it took me a lot of time and hard work to make my spiral tower with leaf accents. yea it had a few clumps of glue, but i would like to see someone make it look flawless... IMPOSSIBLE!!! but yea I assume it couldve been better, i give myself about an 82 versus the 77 I recieved...

Process

At the beginning of this project i was originally going to use plastic cups but i couldnt find anyway to use them effectively. next i was going to try for paper plates, but they were plain and white and i found them boring. After seeing me struggling Bill told me about the tub of clothes pins they had laying around, i thought they were perfect. i began making a few leaf like structures and decided to stack them and make a central struture that would spiral through. I ran into a few problems with the clothes pins staying together. the size and weight of the structure kept pulling it apart. i was able to keep it together by treading the string that i used to hang it all through the central structure but i still had problems keeping some of the clothes pins shut... photos coming soon...

Cinder Block Vs. Newspaper

Thursday, January 20, 2011

Hmmm...

This is the first assignment i recieved in W.A.S.H. We were given a stack of newspapers and glue to create sumthing to support a cinder block off the ground as high as possible. The first idea that came into my head was legs. I originally had 3 but i thought why not 4. After I put the legs together the other students in my group identified it as a rocket. I had a problem with the top half that wouldn't stay together so it didn't make it to the final outcome.

Cardboard Banana

FINAL

 

I cant locate the picture of my final product of the famous cardboard bannana but it was awesome. it had a few flaws like some of the edges weren't as smooth as i wanted but the ends turned out perfect. i wish i had did something with the flat side to make it more like a bannana, I would give myself about an 85-90 it was could but it could've been better...

So Far...

Some time ago we recieved a project where we had to pick an object to recreate out of cardboard. i went with a banana because i think i was hungry at the time, and it didnt look to difficult... so i thought. I started by makin to curved sides to give it that natural banana'ny shape to it. hen i had to construct and nice top to it. the first top didnt really resemble a banana much so I had to tear it doen and make an entirely new top but it worked out for the better. Next i took the same method i used to create the top closure to do the same with the bottom. now the only thing really left to do is finish smoothing it out and give an aged look, because we all know bananas do not stay beautiful long...
