Here are some finalized renderings of the table I built in Solid works that I posted from earlier in the semester with the addition of some dishes for scale. Rendered in Photo View 360:

Pratt Radio Light Box

As many of you know I've been an employee and show host for Pratt Radio for the past couple years. This year the station manager Nick Childers decided we needed some sort of device that promoted the station while also informing the student body of show times, host names and more. I was asked to build a window mounted light box to solve the problem, by drawing the attention of students walking by the station and projecting show times. The photos below are only a selection of the shots I took throughout the entire process- the rest can be found on my Photobucket.

This project was very low-budget: we spent about $50 on materials... If I was to do it again I would definitely minimize the depth of the frame because the current setup is extremely large and quite heavy.

Solid Works Bicycle

Here are some recent renderings I did of a bicycle assembly I've been building in Solid Works. The rendering was done with Photo View 360. The bicycle was an assignment for my Solid Works class that I took special interest in due to my own passion for cycling. Hope you enjoy the images, they are my first renderings.

Great Blue Heron

I've continued work on my wooden 3D pieces and adapted the Blue Heron two more times. Here are some photos of the most recent models, I have one more to complete for wednesday and will be finalizing the size, elements, and materials for a final piece. The top 2 photos were the second adaptation and the bottom 3 are the most recent:

Whisk Sketching

Here are some sketches I did for short group project in my design class at Pratt. I had to do 30 hand mixer sketches total, 10 that would be used in a professional kitchen, 10 marketed to home cooks and 10 that fell into the "goofy" category. I tried to develop some quick whisk sketching techniques for these sketches to speed them up, so all in all each drawing took a little less than 5 minutes. We developed these specific groups based on market research of currently available whisks and the general categories they fell into. The sketches were done with prismacolors and a fineliner:
