Break

Well I'm finally finished with first semester of my Junior year at Pratt and have already arrived home in Seattle. The semester ended with quite a lot of work and I'm still working on documenting and sorting everything out before I can begin to share it. My final critique for ID View went great, here's a little peak of my setup:

1000 Page Views

A big thank you to my friends, family and fellow students for their continued interest in my work and for 1000 page views as of today.

Finals week is in full swing here in Brooklyn, but check back soon for post ID View updates of my latest projects and final work.

Pure Melt Drawings

These are some recent drawings of the Pure Melt snow melting bag. Although the design has changed slightly since I drew them, they still give a good general idea of function, material and styling.

If you are interested in some of my earlier work on this same project check out these old posts that explain the idea as well as some of my process:

Finals

Everything is beginning to get a bit crazy in Brooklyn for finals week. I thought I'd post some photos of the various Pure Melt sketch models I've been working on all semester for my design course before I get completely bogged down.

I'm starting the final model this weekend, but these photos help illustrate some of my process in designing the snow melting bag:

Table Top

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:
