For my final project, I’m making a sort of desk ornament composed of a flat base, a center shaft, two rings surrounding the shaft, and wires used to suspend the rings from the shaft, as well as some hanging planets. My specifications and constraints for the project are listed by importance below. The first specification…

2023, Post 7: Main Project Aesthetics: Plans and Alternatives 2023, Student Work

For my main project, I’m planning on sticking with my spacecore aesthetic since I’ve gotten to know it well, I like it, and it would be fun to have a consistent aesthetic between my upcycle project and my main project. My idea for my project is as seen below. There is a round disk as…

What is your personal aesthetic? The aesthetic that I have been running with thus far is spacecore, and previously it was retro-futurism. Both of these aesthetics share some qualities: some retro-futuristic artworks could be considered spacecore as well. The reason I switched is because the retro-futurism aesthetic requires that I include artwork with the style…

2023, Post 5: What designer do you admire? 2023, Student Work

I chose Tyler The Creator for my blog post because it was the first designer to pop into my mind. Love him or hate him, he’s made huge contributions to music, fashion, and pop culture as a whole. I will even say that he has created his own aesthetic and style that can be easily…

Going into this project, I had a pretty good idea of what I was planning on making. Sadly, mother nature decided to turn the AC on this week, so I was unable to paint the planets in my piece by the official due date. Now, I was able to get a few hours over the…

Here is my progress so far on the Upcycle project. Sadly, I have been swamped in homework for the past two weeks and there is no sign of an end in sight. That being said, I am doing my best to put in my full effort for this class and this project in particular. I…

2023, Post 2: What is your Upcycling project aesthetic and why? 2023, Student Work

The aesthetic I have chosen for my upcycle project is spacecore. I picked this aesthetic because it shares some of the qualities of my previous post’s aesthetic: retro-futurism. Both of them take advantage of the night sky, technology, bright colors, and ethereal images. The reason I did not go with retro-futurism is because I thought…

Aesthetic Exploration- Retro-Futuristism

2023, Post 1: Aesthetic Explorations 2023, Student Work

Retro-Futurism is an aesthetic that takes on an artistic style similar to that of the 40s and 50s. This is the kind of style that reminds me of classic Coca-Cola ads or drawings like “Rosie the Riveter”. What makes retro-futurism special is the incorporation of what someone from the mid 1900s might expect the distant…
