Brewster Beck von Peccoz
Post 8: Top 5 specifications, top 5 constraints 2023, Student Work
No Comments
My biggest constraint in building my arcade is that I want it to be portable. When I first started this project I thought I would only be able to emulate games like Galaga, having played these games as a kid in the back of a favorite restaurant of my families, I wanted to recreate that…

Post 7: Main Project Aesthetics: Plans and Alternatives 2023, Student Work
2 Comments
When designing my arcade and researching existing versions online I’ve found that the style of the arcade I make will vary on two axis, one being its physical shape (standing, bartop, etc) and the other being its material or final finish. I ultimately want whatever device I make to be as slim and portable as…

Post 6: Main Project plans and inspirations 2023
2 Comments
For my final project, I’m having a hard time deciding if I want to make an arcade or an orrery; Both of these projects I’ve wanted to make before but have stopped for either not having access to machines, expense, or more recently distracted by school. An arcade is fairly easy to make, with a…

Post 4: Upcycle Design Report 2023, Student Work
2 Comments
For my Upcycle Project I made a set of wall plates for my parents house in Vermont. The plates are meant to match and further the modern farmhouse aesthetic already present in the home with its vaulted ceiling, exposed wooden rafters, and old farm and industrial equipment repurposed as household furniture. I started this project…

Post 3: Upcycle progress report 2023
1 Comment
This week I took my 3 rough sawn blocks of spalted maple to the bandsaw to re-saw them. I used a plastic light cover from my apartment to gauge the distance from the fence to the blade, and then cut all the blocks parallel to their largest face to get as many usable sheets as…

Post 2: What is your Upcycling project aesthetic and why? 2023
2 Comments
For my up-cycling project I’m turning a piece of saved firewood into a set of light switch and outlet covers for my parents house in Vermont. The house is a sort of rustic chic farmhouse aesthetic and the wood panels are meant to match. The farmhouse aesthetic is defined by exposed wood and stone elements,…

Aesthetic Exploration – 60’s and 70’s Concert Poster Art

February 1, 2023
Brewster Beck von Peccoz
Post 1: Aesthetic Explorations 2023
1 Comment
Psychedelic rock art of the 1960’s and 70’s was defined by bright bold colors and wavy space filling patterns. The artist Wes Wilson kickstarted this movement in San Francisco when he began to bend and morph the lettering in his posters to fill the spaces in his art. Other artists in and around San Fransisco…
