The Task



Our task for this project is to come up with 3 ideas of things to create then upload our progress onto this blog. I finally decided on my 3 different ideas to do today. The first one I'm going to make is a small minecraft character, he will be in a miner outfit holding up a torch in his right hand and dragging a pickax behind him. My second idea is to create a small table that also has a phone holder in the center of it. My final idea is to create a semi-large small candle holder that is shaped like a tree with the branches coming together to form a base for the candles and roots from the trunk coming out to create a large enough base to hold up the tree.

What we're doing

For this ShapeWays project we have to do multiple things on this blog before we can have a final product.

Step 1: Identify and re-write the task or problem
Step 2: Sketch or write up initial thoughts and ideas
Step 3: Collect reference images, current designs, inspirational, blueprints, etc.
Step 4: Create a mind map that will help guide us for the prompt
Step 5: Design several thumbnail sketches of a possible product
Step 6: Create 3+  detailed sketches base d on your thumbnails, specifications, and mind map.
Step 7:  Create finished product model sheet of your best design
