All About Me

                                                                         All About Me
These are my ideas and hobbies that I like to do in my free time.                          Creator: Unknown
This was my first project as a designer, to show my interests on paper in an artistic way.  This project helped me learn to not look down on my poor skills as a designer but to cherish my ideas and not care about anything else

The Perfect i-Watch



                                                                    The Perfect I-Watch  
This project was to improve on an existing design in the world.  I chose the new Apple i-Watch and improved it by adding already existing Apple features that weren't added in the watch and added some of my own.  All in all, the design I created helped me learn one type of job a designer performs.   

Our bridge of paper:

Our bridge of paper
We decided to use paper to create a large bridge.  We created a 84 inch bridge with just one sheet of paper. Teamwork was useful in order to cut and fold the bridge to make it stable.  The idea come to us instantaneously but it took a while to get it right.


We first attempted to make the bridge out of binder paper. We folded the paper and altenated cuts from up and down which was a success because it was stable and supported by clay and withheld the weight of  2 pieces of clay weighing about 66 ounces.The constraints were that the paper couldn’t be fused to the clay and didn’t touch the table.  Also, we could only use 2 pieces of paper, scissors and 4 pieces of clay.  


All in all, it was a fun project that made us use our heads like engineers.  We made our project prototype into a success.  If we had more time, we could have doubled the size of the bridge and finished our project.
