This model is my second attempt  at an  Archimedean Solid (AS). My first attempt was unsuccessful and the paper I was using was too think, and I cut each shape out individually and used tabs to try and join them together, which just cast an ugly shadow because of the bump on the surface. In this AS, I used thinner paper, and incorporated more folding in order to achieve a smoother finish.

In regards to the photography, overall I am pleased with the result, however if I did it I would try to get a softer lighting source, somewhere in-between warm and cold.

I really struggled to achieve a result I was happy with during this task, and i'm still not 100% happy with it, mostly due to running out of white paint. However, I learnt a lot from this task, most Importantly, a little black paint goes a long way.

It was a relatively quick process for me to land on my static pattern. I initially has another shape in addition to the embryo, which after brining into design studio, I quickly realised look rubbish. With the dynamic, I really wanted to place emphasis on the embryo, hence the pattern radiates from the centre, big to small. This task was surprisingly difficult to get completely perfect, and if I did it again, there are some small things I would do to try and get it perfect.

I decided to create a second Archimedean solid with some reflective paper I had spare, as I thought the way it takes on light may be interesting, as such this was more of a test, so I did some minor editing to achieve an even reflection. I think Perspective 3 os the most interesting, as it mixies with the white of my bedroom and the strong red background. This creates pinks on more panels, whilst other are more deeper.

This Term in IDES1211 has been very valuable for me in understanding the standards expected of an Industrial Design Student at UNSW. Whilst I got off the a less than desirable start with my 'Exhibition Poster', I am very pleased with the progression of this terms work, despite the difficulties surrounding Covid-19. I enjoyed the challenge of being randomly assigned a designer, and I think this has taught me a lot in just a small period of time.

The images below are collection of my work from Term 1 2020.

As Part of this terms work in IDES 1211, I was assigned the Designer Marc Newson to study, and then represent in my own work. Marc has a very distinct design style, typically using smooth, geometric lines and Shapes, as well as playing with translucency, transparency and negative space.  Most notably for me was the lack of Sharpe edges and straight lines. In order to fully gain an understanding of this, I looked at pieces such as the Voroni Shelf Collection, the Orgone Chair and the Qantas First Class Lounge. In this work, it is clear that Marcs design style is consistent, with organic, biomorphic references throughout.

This led me to the selection of the Embryo Chair to base my work off. For me, the Embryo Chair represents Marcs design work best, with organic, smooth lines, and the use of negative space. I decided very early in the term to remove the legs of the chair from my work. This was because of the nature of the work we were asked to do, in which I believe it would have been too cluttered and 'busy'. Further, removing the legs emphasised the negative space of the embryo chair, which is important to fully do emulate the design style of Newson.

The 3D model was defiantly the most challenging in terms of coming up with an idea and i struggled with this for many weeks. Having said that i knew that i had to carry the theme of negative space through to this task, and through a process of elimination i decide d to commence with this design. I went onwards with this design because it  is a very natural shape with no sharpe lines of edges (very characteristic of Newson).

I decided to photograph this task in an alternative way, to emphasise the negative space. I really like the way the shadows are cast when placing a light in the model. When outdoors, the model fits in  well, but also stands out in its environment. Overall I am pleased with this result, however I would make some small changes to achieve a more uniform sphere.

This task was highly time consuming and involved making each individual embryo and then shaping them to match the dynamic pattern. I wanted to make emphasis on the use of negative space in Newsons work and I think it really worked well in this case. The way shadows cast on the 2D relief is a very interesting aesthetic, but made it very important for me not to crease the paper during construction. There are a few visible errors in the project for the most part i am very pleased with the result.

In this task, I made the deliberate decision to go against advice to not do a radiating colour arrangement. I did this because I felt,  along with advice from Rina,  that this best represented Newson.  The colour choices were also deliberate, orange felt like a must when trying to represent Newson. Not only is Newsons website themed orange, but many of his work is too, so in order to meet the brief, I also used blue, which worked well.

I found this task difficult at first, but once I realised that its much neither if the Embryo is paint second, and with the help of a tooth pick for tight spaces, I managed to get this done in a timely manner.
