For my own personal aesthetic I have had considerable trouble trying to figure it out and decide. However I have always been interested in two major themes which was organic architecture and engineering. I have always been interested in these 2 topics and a while ago I discovered kinetic sculptures. One of my favorite artist…

Coming up with “my own personal aesthetic” was definitely more of a challenge than I imagined. After looking through pages and pages of aesthetics I found a few that personally grabbed my attention the most, so before getting into mine, I’d like to discuss some of the major movements it draws from. The first major…

I guess I would describe my personal aesthetic as minimalist and understated. I generally only wear one or two muted colors, preferably without many graphics outside of simple patterns. I avoid wearing logos, text-heavy clothing, and bright colors. I don’t generally have any other adornments except maybe a simple small necklace or bracelet. I think…

Growing up, I was surrounded by many influences. As they pertain to my personal aesthetic, I place them into 5 categories: dedication to craft, resourcefulness, regard for tradition, openness to outside influence, and love of nature. When I was little, both my parents worked and I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. They…

(An example of Night-light for kids on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/One-Fire-Birthday-Teenage-Squishy/dp/B0836V6S4R/ref=sr_1_20?c=ts&keywords=Night-Lights&qid=1678224685&s=lamps-light&sr=1-20&ts_id=3736651) (https://www.amazon.com/CHWARES-Multicolor-Breathing-Bedroom%EF%BC%8CUSB-Rechargeable/dp/B07NW8ZM3M) I’m still not sure what my main project will look like this semester, the clue is to make a device or decoration that will change over time. Maybe a fake candle that will gradually switch the light by the changing of daylight. Or a digital clock…

I currently have two ideas for my final artifact. The first idea is a watch winder. A watch winder rotates and simulates the effect of wearing a watch. It prevents the watch from using its power reserve, as a result, your watch is always ready to be worn. Watch winders work with automatic winding watches.…

I would say my personal aesthetic is very broad and depends on my environment a lot, but the one common thread is that I put a lot of focus into functionality and usually this equates to comfort. I am not too concerned with looking “good” as much as I am feeling comfortable while still meeting…

For my final design project I am going to make an aluminum amplifier face plate. I decided on this because my dad is an audiophile and has always enjoyed high end audio equipment. Since the equipment is so expensive, it not only has to sound amazing, but look and feel amazing. This means all of…

I had some trouble determining what my aesthetic is and I’m not sure this is entirely accurate as my aesthetic has changed a lot throughout the years. As shallow as this may sound, I think a great way of determining one’s aesthetic has to do with the material things they surround themself with from the…

My personal aesthetic is not something I think about too often, but if I were to sum it up, I would include the mixed concepts of minimalism, functionable, sporty, and technical. I am drawn to aesthetics that have technical or mechanical aspects rather than purely creative and like products that have functionable features on top…

For the final project I want to draw on my liking of minimalism, cozycore, and a woodworking aspect. Due to my tendencies of always keeping my space clean, neat, and arranged I want to make good use of this project and my home space. My father has always been a big inspiration in my life…

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…

I like boats. Specifically, I love the look of old wooden sailing ships like the ones in Pirates of the Caribbean. I’ve been thinking of making a model ship since the beginning of this semester, and after some quick research found the name of the aesthetic that fits my idea: the maritime aesthetic. The above…

For my main project, I plan to create a lighting stand with modern influences and characteristics. I found inspiration online through different lighting fixtures and would ideally like to recreate one of the designs below. I believe these designs all encompass modern characteristics like sleek and clean surfaces and metal materials. As this project and…

As a visual artist and filmmaker, I’ve always had the desire to create a largish installation of some sort. I’ve thought of ways to display video works on a larger scale than just a computer or phone screen. I’ve been fascinated by large led screens like the ones in Times Square or even the CASE…

  For my final project, I had a few ideas come to mind when thinking about things I’ve seen recently. The first was while I was at a restaurant in Todos Santos over winter break, and I saw this handmade chandelier out of steel and rope when I looked up. My initial idea for my…

Its difficult to sum up my personal aesthetic because it includes aspects of many types of other aesthetics. What initially pops in my head is the types of outfits I pick out daily.Currently my clothing would likely fall under a casual streetwear aesthetic; slim fit jeans, a t-shirt, vans or sneakers,  a hat and a…

I have always been fascinated with light and shadows. It has intrigued me that just changing the positioning of the light source over a physical model can create different shadows and effects. I am not exactly sure with the aesthetic I will be following but I think I’m leaning to wards sculptural. To add to…

[1] A knight’s possible moves highlighted on chess.com   Recently, I’ve been heavily addicted to Chess.com, and while my vice may be a consistent daily distraction, it also serves as the inspiration for my main project! In particular, a feature I admire about playing chess online is the accessibility for new players getting involved in…

This final project revolves around the idea of the double pendulum. I am interested in this design because of the interesting dynamic component. These designs are usually incorporated as desk toys. This design is very dynamic and will require a lot of precision in order to make sure things balance the way that I want…

It is no secret that I am a very sentimental person, as the clothes I wear and even some of the tattoos I have represent shows/video games that I enjoyed as a child. Things like walking past my freshman dorm or having my “last first day” as a college student always emit some kind of…

I have a difficult time defining my own aesthetic, as it feels like a very fluid combination of several different concepts. If I were to narrow it down, I’d say my aesthetic is a combination of tech, nature, metro, and retro. Partially, this comes from a respect/longing for past decades, possibly due to my exposure…

For my final project, I will design and build an alarm clock based on the aesthetic of late 70’s futuristic and science fiction design. The modern product design of the 70’s was very sleek and minimalistic, as pictured in the cover photo [1], while the science fiction of the time portrayed technology as over-engineered and…

For my main project, I would like to create a flower that opens when it’s dark out, and closes when it’s bright. It’s a moonlit flower. I chose this design idea as a way of integrating the beauty of “nature” into the night as well. For the most part, plants are the most active and…

The plans for my main project don’t really involve my personal aesthetic too much other than my enjoyment of floral design/ nature. For my main project I plan to embed LED strips into vertical CNC milled grooves in a rectangular piece of wood I have. I will program the LED lights using an arduino microcontroller…

My personal aesthetic is generally to keep things simple or minimal. I like clothing that can be used for multiple things without much text or logos. I like a simple workspace and room, and I like natural colors in my spaces, and love the look of minimalist modern art in my decorations. I think my…

As an avid climber, I have always been fascinated by the tools we use, ice climbing is completely different type of climbing which relies almost entirely on tools and equipment. Ice tools, are held like hammers and swung into the ice for purchase; they are cost restrictive and so, as an engineering student, I have…

A camping set up similar to what I want to build. Source: https://truckvault.com/DIY-truck-camper I think my personal aesthetic is pretty simple, with heavy influence from nature and the outdoors. Function is another factor that heavily influences my personal aesthetic. I don’t have too many decorations and those that I do have are nature inspired. I…

Thinking of my personal aesthetic I have always sought my appearance to match my simplistic and minimalistic personality. In regards to clothing, I have always leaned towards natural tones and a style that seems minimalistic yet focuses on the smaller details. Although I disagree with his personal opinions,  One of my favorite fashion designers is…
