-- FINAL PRODUCT DESIGN POSTERS --

So here is my final product design! I wasn't 100% happy with the outcome of the product but the posters look pretty cool :) I didn't quite get to finishing my 3rd product but watch this space... It will be there soon!

-- PRODUCT DESIGN FINAL HAND IN --

So, here's my final product design hand result as well as a photo of my final design.. It was such a hectic learning curb for me as a designer. There were so many problems with getting this pendant finished, and as you can see, the final product still wasn't perfect, but it will be for final design portfolio! I got it made in Joburg through a family friend, and asked for it to get copper plated, using a gold copper coloured metal, and it came back to PE in a light metallic pink colour, so that needs fixing ASAP! I got the outside of it sprayed black at an autobody shop - one that specialises in the restoration of old cars, so they really know their stuff. The black turned out stunning :) Have a look... 


Final light design - hanging a bit skew but still a pretty picture perfect final design...

The bulb I used comes from CT from Hoi P'loy designs - ITS HUGE!

-- COMPUTERS ASSEMBLY ANIMATION --

So we were required to do an assembly animation of our buildings to show how our buildings are put together structurally with the use of 3D Max and Movie Maker. We could focus on whatever aspects of the building we wanted to as long as everything was clear throughout the video. 

I decided to divide the building into 4 different sections, namely the existing science centre, the existing unused buildings, the proposed Eclipse space museum and the Planetarium. They are all clearly indicated through the use of different colours. This is just the rough hand in I did for out prelim presentation. To be updated!!
