Design Challenge 1 - Final

20/03

Thursday 20/03/2014 the day it matters for this Design Challenge 2. Have a short heart thumping moment when Leon appear and told us he is waiting for his parents to send his art as he forgotten to bring it and Adrian missed the bus. Eventually everything when well after that. One of the group that able to hit the cup without even any test run!

Design Challenge 1 - Angry Birds (Part 3)

18/03

Have a final meeting this week, on Tuesday 18/03/2014, before our presentation. Each of us show what we done over on the weekend and after the past few discussion on changes to be made. Previous class we decide as a team to go ahead with design create by Adrian (like a plane/catapult) and input as a team how to make it better. This final design comprehend well with our medieval theme.

Design done by Adrian.

We also did a few testing on the plane ideas created by Adrian.. Using feedback from our previous design
he came out with the solution in putting the cup as a stand to support the trajectory of the plane and
it work perfectly!!!

Final look

On individual level each of us show our final design of the artwork and we have a final discussion for the presentation ahead.

We decide to go with the ''Angry King Pig"- Design by me

The medieval theme requires a KING OF PIG as the antagonist in our concept. The design i created is simple and easy to relate at to be understood.

The final artwork of the bird design by Leon

Finally i am also doing the storyboard. We nearly forgotten about it till Leon mention it up and i am more than happy to volunteer to the team on doing it.

Story was make together with team and i quickly sketch the ideas to paper.
I also collaborate ideas of leon protagonist in the storyboard.

Final storyboard with colours

Reflection of the week: The team really show our potential in this meeting. Really enjoy working with this group of individuals. Even when they ask who could draw the storyboard (as mentioned above we realised that we need to draw it late) i gladly volunteer to do it. Overall i believed i really help the team and play the role as a team player well. This team really have a diverse in skills set and we really exploiting it in order to get the highest grade possible.

Design Challenge 1- Angry Birds (Part 2)

We have our first group meeting on Tuesday and it was very enriching, changing ideas with the team. During class, beforehand, we as a team are really sure to go ahead on the theme of underwater/Atlantis but after the meeting we throw that idea out completely and agreed on 'Medieval' theme due to certain reason of the design.

Different concept of the birds artwork

Pig quick sketch concept- I against the idea of 1 of my own design
of a pig with octopus tentacles as it does not
stay true to a 'PIG'. One of the main reason we switch our theme.

My ideas for how the catapult to be like.Discussed the Pros and Cons with the team

This is my own final verdict on my design. Initially we try it on class but i quickly see the little flawed in it, especially
in terms of accuracy and power

Reflection of the week: Following the concept of angry birds character style was easy for me. The hard part is creating our own original design. From the 2 picture above i am showing clearly the different range of characters that i came about with for the group. Characters was design closely to the ideas that we discussed for the theme as a group.

The 3rd and 4th picture shows me describing how i feel about my idea and after a few creating it in the workshop why i feel it is not really well created. 

Design Challenge 1: Angry Birds

01/03

In this design challenge we are assigned to group by flipping of a coin (cool right?!) and tackling on theme of angry birds. design of the birds and pig and even the scene. 

Group member consisting of myself, Leo, Adrian, Chloe, Shaun and Grant.  We are given a set of list item and use in anyway possible to create our own trajectory with it. We also quickly assigned each individual

taking which task to take on artistic design, for me, PIGS

This are the few early design of mine:

Sketch was create quickly while discussion ongoing

Refine drawing of few ideas i have

Reflection of the week: Each individual team members came with our own design output. The team

is very helpful to one another,providing feedback based on the drawing whether the result is achievable

In general my weakness in building.something out of nothing could be clearly seen but i do come up with some

interesting concept!

Design Challenge: Marshmallow Challenge

Learn alot in this class. Even failing in getting the marshmallow to stand it give me a chance to reflect on what can be done better.

First lesson for the design class and really enjoyed the session. In a group of 5 we are required to built a tower with the marshmallow at the top. Eventually we failed the challenge but the aspect of iteration and problem solving was really a good learning experience that certainly will help on future project.
