My target market was people who are interested in shoes I was unable to reach this audience as my product was not successful. I could have made this successful b making my sketchup product identifiable as a shoe.

# data[].attributes.body
I could improve this by learning more about sketchup . I fell behind because I could not draw and wasted many classes trying to draw. If I was to do this again, I would take drawings from the internet and modify these. I did overcome this by getting help with the drawing and tracing it

I was very motivated at the start of this project but it was hard to stay engaged with all parts of the design process as it took a long time and it felt like it was more about the write up rather than reflecting on my actual learning. I did learn a lot of useful skills such as understanding design as a subject more.

# data[].attributes.body
The main problems I had with this test was sketchup acting up - I solved this problem by pressing command z and getting help from my group members.

# data[].attributes.body
Out of the 3 people I interviewed, all of them said my sketchup product did not look a shoe. I was not able to solved this problem because I lacked the skills to make the modifications that were needed. I also needed to focus my time on completing this writeup on padlet as this what is graded the most.

# data[].attributes.body
This test was a success as the picture below show that the puzzle pieces fit together on sketch up.
The problems were that when the two puzzles pieces touched each other they would automatically connect which made sketchup glitch.

The problem for this project

# data[].attributes.body
I had to use the eraser tool to remove all the circles so that the base of the shoe looks like a sole.

# data[].attributes.body
This test is done when you show your sketchup design to five of your classmates ask them if your sketchup design looks like your product and record the result.

# data[].attributes.body
The assembly test on sketchup tests to see if all our puzzle pieces fit together and are of the same size.

# data[].attributes.body
For this step, I used the push and pull tool draw the front of the shoe and used the line tool to smooth the edges up.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the circle tool, I added the big circles first on the sides and then the small ones in the middle.

# data[].attributes.body
The problem I had was, the drawings took too long which cut down the time I had for working on my sketchup design. This made me make a few changes in my schedule. After I was done with my drawings, I realized that it took too long and I wouldn't be able to print my 3D design. During the month of May, I mainly focused on getting my writing done on padlet. Also I had to come ack to my sketchup design and make a puzzle piece for my shoe so that all the shoes can fit together

Smooth out the sections by placing a triangle shape on each corner of each section.

# data[].attributes.body
Start increasing the height of each section between the lines. Each section needs to be taller than the one before. This will continue halfway up the shoe.

# data[].attributes.body
Start building the shoe up by placing horizontal lines on the shoe (that represent layers). The lines have to be equal distances apart

# data[].attributes.body
Once you have identified the sole shape, you can now start removing the circles, lines and squares.

# data[].attributes.body
start design the sole  by placing circles around the square until you can identify the sole shape

i can use these drawing that my dad drew and trace over it with a light box

# data[].attributes.body
For my final design I replicated the most ideal sneaker (air jordan 1) the reason why i choose this is the following:
1. according to my research   it is the most easily identifiable sneaker because it  was one of the first types of sneakers created and therefore started the trend for this design
2.It is one of the most popular sneakers as the design is timeless and less complex than other designs.
3. I choose the specifications because as stated in B1, we specified we could only use one colour so this will be white
I will have to think about if I  have the ability using sketch to actually complete the design below as the markings and the laces below although make the design look more authentic, they will be difficult to do in the time we have to learn the programme.
4. We decided as a group on the size after compiling our research.

# data[].attributes.body

my product color will be white because we can only use one color when 3d printing

I chose sneakers because where I come from (mainly Fiji, and less so in New Zealand), a lot of people like sneakers. This has influenced me to like sneakers too because sneakers have almost become a cultural thing in my community. In Fiji especially (mostly in the cities and towns rather than villages), people take pride in their sneakers. Therefore, I chose sneakers because I am interested in them.

ideas for the shoe product

# data[].attributes.body
Design goal
I would like to achieve a shoe puzzle that looks decent and a bit detailed and all of the pieces fit perfectly
Target Audience
The target audience for our product is males who have an interest  in the footwear industry.  The age group for this product is 12-30 years old.
Success criteria
(how will I know I did a good job?)
The way I will know I have been successful is if my puzzle piece does not look rushed or does not look well made. Another way i can tell if my product is effective is if my puzzle is identified as a shoe and not an abstract piece of art.
Constraints
(What problems might you have?)

have the right shoe shape

designing the puzzle look like a shoe

having the right shape of the sole of the shoe

form the right shapes

making some details

choosing the design of my puzzle and what it will look lik

Talk about what you learned in A2 and A3
To create my shoe I learnt that forming the main shape of the shoe is be hard , if it is too detailed as I need to use a combination of different shapes in Sketch Up, so I need to keep my designs simple such as those pictures shown in my research.
We may also only be able to use one colour on a 3D printer as this is shown in the examples. If I want different colours I have to piece these together.
It will take us a long time as we are new to Sketch Up and it is taking time to learn how to form the shapes.

# data[].attributes.body
Why are we learning about 3D printing and modelling?

- It is interesting, and most schools and companies have this form of technology now so we need to understand how to use it and what is the best way to use it, for what kinds of products.

What size groups would make a good final product?

- Groups of four but one group of five.

What are the limits for 3D printing?

Size

6 cm by 6cm

Shape - Cant be too detailed

color

Material -

- We don't really have much knowledge about 3D printing, so most likely our designs would be pretty basic.

What software will we need to model and print the product?

- Sketchup.

What equipment will we need?

- A computer, 3D printer and Sketch Up to design our 3D prints.

Is there limitations to what can be printed?

- Yes. Some of the limitations we will have is having to print more basic shapes as we don't have much knowledge how 3D printing works.

What existing products can we look at for inspiration?

- Since our topic is shoes, we can look at other types of shoes to get inspiration.

What theme should we choose for the group project?

Shoes

How can I make different parts fit together?

What are some possible ideas?

see below for our ideas

What can't we do?

make it look perfect, and needs to be appropriate for school

Why are we doing this?

It can help us learn how to use a 3D printer and what is the best use of this tool.

# data[].attributes.body
The solution is to use Sketch Up to process my  ideas,  and make these thoughts visible so I can share them.

The problem is i don't have the skills to make  my design for this project
