What's in a word: group project: brainstorming




We had lots of ideas for creating the word 'extend' 3D to show its meaning, but the idea that stuck was to make the depth of the letters grow from the first letter to the last.

Product Design: Final Lint Roller

This was the final product that my teammates and I came up with. It is more functional than the original lint roller we studied, because it has a travel case that slides close to protect tape when not in use and an adjustable strap for ease of use.

Product Design: Toy Exercise Bike

Pin-Up

I created these collages using an application called Collage Creator Lite.

I made these collages to be like a "pin-up" critique, so that I could see them all at once. I wanted to see which angles I am missing, and which techniques need to be improved. 

These are the original images before I did any editing in Photoshop.
This is what I've got right now. I think it was helpful to do this so I could decide which ones I want to improve on.
