On the first day of class, during some brain storming for my upcycle project, I stumbled upon a chess board, which I started sketching.

Bear Spray Light Final Report Part 2
After completing my second prototype, which was my first 3D printed part, I realized that I needed to change the design to fit the 9V battery I am using for this project. I also wanted to go back and add a hole for a button that was already pre-measured instead of guessing after the fact.…

20th Century Design Aesthetics: Pen/Pencil Holder
These are examples of pen and pencil holder with different aesthetics. The first one is a rounded aesthetic. This one is very nice but is only possible to manufacture with the use of a CNC lathe. I think it has very nice features and is probably my favorite. Due to the fact that it is…
Top 5 Constraints: Pencil holder
For my project I am going to create a pencil holder. I think I will have a colorless/metallic aesthetic. Everything I already own is in this category with few exceptions. Everything is black, white, grey, silver. I will stick with this aesthetic and make an aluminum pencil holder. It will be sitting on a thrust…

20th Century Design Movements
After looking into a number of 20th century design movements I feel as though I have a more clear goal as to how I want my finished jewelry box to look. There were two 20th century design movements that really helped narrow down what design I wanted to incorporate into my project, and those design…

Final Stretch: LED Heartrate Monitor
At this point, I have received all of the parts in the mail, and have started putting everything together. The step was to do quality control.

Final Stretch: Bed Stand
Hello readers, I have fallen behind on my final project but for what its worth I did really well on my midterms last week. The thing is I sacrificed working on this project to study for some applied math classes. Any how, I have purchased the wood for my bed stand. That’s all I’ve done.…
Final Stretch: Vanity Mirror
Time has gotten away from me a little bit on this project. I need to get going on this again! I have been researching ways to mount my mirror in a really sturdy way, however I have really strict rules about hanging stuff on the walls of my apartment. I also will be moving out…
20th Century Design Movements: Upside Down Fish Tank
I explored a few of the 20th Century Design movements both on the fish tank portion and the drawer portion of my project. I wanted to keep the functionality of my project for both the drawer and the fish tank. To keep the upside down aesthetic as well as a new aesthetic is quite challenging.…
Design Loop Reality | Cardboard Lamp
Above is my design loop reality. In retrospective, I should have gone to the laser cutter first to see the approved materials list. Waiting until the last minute put me in a bind and although I am happy with the final product I believe that the design could have been more elaborate with the aid of…

Final Stretch: Bamboo Fly Rod
Thus far the bamboo fly rod is coming together well but has not been without it’s hiccups and learning curves. It has been a unique opportunity to learn about how true craftsmen employ carefully acquired techniques to fabricate rods properly, and how I am comedically under-skilled to achieve the same success. However, if at first…
