Today we had a look at what
we had all done for our 4 concepts. We all agreed that it was very challenging
coming up with them. I think we just picked a hard concept to go with. But I
think at this stage we need to move on with the concept and start thinking
about the more detailed aspects of the project. So even if we don't completely
nail the concept part but can do a good job on the technical drawings and
presentation then that would be good.
After sharing our concepts
amongst the team we all agreed that Brenden's 4 concepts had the most direction
and had great linkage between the four products- which no one else's really
had.
We spoke to Yasu about it
and got some great feedback. He seemed to be quite happy with our progress and
suggested instead of trying to design 4 separate products as part of a line, we
focus on just two products in depth. This way we can make the designs more
thought out and detailed and then just say that they are a part of a family,
and more products can be bought and added to the network.

This week we spoke with
Yasu straight away very early into the tutorial. This was very beneficial for
us as we got input to work with straight away rather than waiting around. We
decided that after this very valuable talk we would just work from that. In
previous weeks we have been getting mixed messages from different people and so
getting confused and often going off on the wrong track. So next week we will
try and talk to more tutors, but this week i feel like it was a good thing for
us to only speak with Yasu.
During the meeting we
skyped with Bek as she was sick and unable to come to class. I think this was
an effective way of catching her up to our progress. She was able to see
drawings to understand what we were talking about and I think different people
explaining the concept helps us understand it better. And also to realise
effect ways of pitching ideas to make them look good.
We spent the time figuring
out some of the "object" related issues. Such as materials and
manufacturing. We're still at a very basic stage for this but at least we've
started thinking about it.
What we as a team worked out to be the steps
involved in the process
We were able to as a team delegate different tasks
to each member which will give us a good start on moving forward and
hopefully allow us to have more progress to show for the next week.

Me: story boarding and
narrative
Bek: Design brief
Georgina: Start solid
working up one of the products
Brenden: Start working on
the other product model, and email Yasu our plan for our working model
Once we have a solid works
model done for each we can use the 3d printer to get our object model. This I
think is the most effect way to do it. It is basically killing two birds with
one stone, we have to do solid works models, so we may as well us these models
to create our real life form model.
