Week 6&7 Prompts Due 2/29

Week 6 Blog Prompts

Design & Fabrication 2, 4, 6  

Photos to include: 1 photo of your sketch of your project. 1 photo of the prototype- your individual and/or of the team version. 1 screenshot of your 24x18 artboard with your own laptop design on it (as far as you've gotten . . remember it's due on Tuesday).
 
Prompts: 

• What contributions did you make to your team while designing the laptop stand? (Be specific - added a curve to the base, designed the connections, tried a support method in the prototype that failed so we came up with a better design - remember, knowing what DOESN'T work is as important as finding out what DOES.)

We talked about the role of the prototype to answer questions:

• What questions did you ask of your design by making your prototype? (hint: "does it work" is not detailed enough . . . and a given)
• What answers did your prototype give you that you weren't expecting?

• What were your biggest challenges in working in Illustrator? How did you overcome them? 

 
Please have your blog post done by Monday 2/29 at 8:00am (all classes), although earlier is always welcome.  Email me if you have any questions or issues.
