3DD Pathway- Creating A Use For My Object

Once asked to create a use for my object I soon discovered that this would be a hard task as I did not want my object to be a obvious choice in comparison to what it may look like. After coming up with a number of different ideas I narrowed it down to three which was a table, sofa and a chair. My final choice was the chair as I thought that by transforming my object into a chair I could put my own touch to the design of the chair by adding twirling legs as well as keeping the hoops as a arm rest. As well as adding hoops for the back support and adding a cross cross effect on the back rest and the legs.

3DD Pathway- Small But Loud

This week I have chosen my pathway in which is 3DD. For my first project I had to create 10 different objects that required no use. So I came up with my own creations with out over thinking about it as it did not require any use or functions. So I started adding different materials together and just went with the flow until my object looked complete. I used a number of different materials, from polyester, to cardboard and plastic ect. As is tatted to create my objects one thing I started to notice that each object I made had a little resemblance of objects that already existed, perhaps this is because I wanted to give some kind of use to some objects although I was requested not to. However some objects I made completely was my own creation with no use as I just threw together materials. Having said that I knew that once asked to create a use for my objects I would find this very hard.


 


 


 




 

 
 

I then had to pick my favourite object of the ten I created. Once I decided what object that I wanted to adapt, I began creation different functions for it such as turning it into a chair, as well as turning it into a cd rack and a is rack. refining my idea became easier once I started to research a concept of which was things that are small but loud. I looked at a number of different products such as door bells, alarms, sirens, whistles ect. I then looked at birds, as the are small animals that make a lot of noise. I decided to create my object into a docking system of which the speakers resemble wings of a bird.
