Solid Works 2011: ipod nano

Today’s solid works was to try and create my ipod nano in 3D. Learnt how to use some new tools with different ways to extrude shapes and extrude cut. I also learnt how to view the object in more than the 3 basic planes, by holding ctrl and dragging a plane to create a new one and settings can be added.

trying to improve my sketching by drawing a razor from different perspectives

Life drawing

These are my life drawings I did during some lessons at college. They helped a lot with drawing the human figure and would recommend it to anyone interested in drawing. This also helped for some design projects where I designed a chair from the shapes I had drawn.

tried a different style of rendering only for the ink to run out in the gray’s now I’m left with no rendering pens till back at uni =[ should of bought more lesson learnt! Still need to improve the perspective more practice needed!!!

Laptop sketch

Guitar amp now is an ipod dock

After changing the appearance of the guitar amp and it not really having a use with other amps now in the house I decided to see if it would work as an mp3/iPod dock. Reading around I found that this may not work, but with the cable needed being only £2 I decided to try it. Well you can see and hear from the video that it works pretty well. The quality isn’t actually that bad ether and improves on songs that have guitars or basses in them.

Jean Genet Inspired guitar amp

After recently visiting the Nottingham contemporary where Jean Genet is exibiting and there was a few pieces of furniture that had been coverd in bits of newspaper which made me more interested in the shape and the finish on the furniture there. I want to apply this to future designs maybe to add a story and interest to my furniture but for now, I descided to transform an old guitar amp to see how it would look.

Another Frank Gehry inspired chair

Seems a lot of my college projects had to do with a favourite designer and again it was Frank Gehry. The brief again to design a piece of furniture inspired by the designer. I looked into all the different types of products buildings and furniture that Gehry designed to gain inspiration for the project. At the same time as this project we had life drawing lessons which I recommend to anyone to do. Our aim for one lesson was not to try and detail the subject but to draw it as simple shape as possible and this is what I drew.

Try to make out the shape of the body with the top right being a shoulder, down the back to the bum then up to the knee with two arms going across.

Final shape Think could be improved alot with the amount of material used and the shap of it
