Today in class I made sure that the hinge was the correct dimensions and addd it inside my design.

However, there was a huge line that prevented me from doing them so I will try to do it next class .
Tue, May 6 HW – image of completed homework
Today for homework I extended my hinge and made sure that it fits my design in the place I want it so that it is longer and it is fixed with my door. Also I changed my art design for my drawings and I will test them out because I found out it will not look as aesthetic as I intended it to be.

For homework I changed my design and I will test it out during class because I found out that it does not print very well.

With this finished I think I should test out the rest of my designs and if they are good I will start printing out my design.
Wed, Apr 30 CW- image of work completed in class
Today in class I practiced engraving a different drawing I was going to use. It does not look as well as I had intended it to so I will consider to change my drawing or completely remove it. However, the engraving had showed me that some images I need to use should be more simple and should hold more detail.
Wed, Apr 30 HW – image of completed homework
Today for homework I finished my designs and will print them all out next class. I think that these designs are all images of what my friend noah has a liking towards and I carefully picked them out. I also made sure to add logos like nike which he wears alot and add characters he likes. He also told me that he wnants the first letter of his last name so I added that under his name.

The teacher taught me how to individually change certain parts of a piece and edit them.
Thu, Apr 17 HW – image of completed homework
For homework, I added a compartment to the side of my design and also the numbers 11 for the person I am creating the desktop organizer for. I also created some small designs I could use for my pieces and tested them out, they are not official but I think I would like to go this path. The compartments are made of four different parts and will be used to add small items. I added the numbers 11 because my friend noah has the number 11 for his hockey jersey.
Tue, Apr 15 CW- image of work completed in class
Today in class, I experimented using the AI imaging tool with adobe illustrator and starting experimenting where I can implement images on my design.

For homework I completed the hinge I need for my door in my desktop organizer and next class I will attempt to 3d print it and ask mr brodie on how to implement it in my design. I can easily change the thickness of the holes and parts because I used a variable which I can change as I learn more about the parts the teacher has
Week 4
Fri, Apr 11 CW- image of work completed in class
In class, I added the letters and listend to the teachers feeback. I created the curves on the sharp edges and made sure that my pieces would be one piece. The book holders on the top would be connected to the pieces on the bottom to save wood. Additionally, I started working on creating a hinge for my door in the bottom. I used a video and followed it.
Fri, Apr 11 HW – image of completed homework
For homeowkr, I added a cylindar in the middle of my desktop organizer so that I could ask the teacher on how I can 3d print it. Also, I created a door for my bottom drawer that I will make so it can open like a door; however, I do not understand how to attack a hinge and use it so I will attempt to ask the teacher on what I could do. I already have a copy of a door hinge I had made in the past which I think could come to use.
Wed, Apr 9 CW- image of work completed in class
Today in class, I added a space inside the front of my design to create a door-like compartment. I will attempt to 3d print a hinge in the future and create it so the door can open and close. Also, I started working on my drawer and made it so that its a small box inside the space I made previously.
Wed, Apr 9 HW – image of completed homework
For homework, I added two parts on the top and another compartment. The two cylindars on the top will allow for my friend noah to put up books and allow for him to lean items on to it. Also, the cabinet will allow for noah to store items.
Mon, Apr 7 CW- image of work completed in class
Today in class I restarted my design for my desktop organizer. I noticed that I was missing some parts. My design was unrealistic and I changed it. I added more parts and made sure that the pieces are made so that they can stick inside one another. I added a platform on the top and will add more for homework and future classes.
Mon, Apr 7 HW – image of completed homework
For homework I started working on my design for the desktop organizer. I added two sides for documents and one pat in the middle with a cylindar. In class I will start to further work on this. This design is premature and is not very good which I will fix in class
Week 3
Thu, Apr 3 CW- image of work completed in class
In class today I looked at my mission statement and created 4 different designs with a cylinder in the middle and it follows the wants and needs of my friend. Furtermore, I added labels and different 3d views to clearly visualize my purpose because my artistic designs may have hindered my meaning. With the implementation of these small labels I clearly showed what different parts of my desktop design were for and how they followed the mission statement of my friend.
Thu, Apr 3 HW – image of completed homework
For homework I interviewed a colleague so I can clearly understand a purpose for my desktop organizer and grab a clear idea of what to do.
Mission statement
When talking to my friend Noah Kelly, he mentioned his frequent struggle with organizing documents and papers, which often get lost on his desk. His main goal for the desktop organizer is to create a clean and efficient workspace where he can easily see what he needs and what he doesn’t. Right now, his desk setup consists of a pencil box in the top left corner, small books in the top right, big books in the bottom left, and documents in the bottom right. However, he often forgets to put things away, leading to a giant mess. To match his interests and preferences, the organizer should have a simplistic design with black, white, or grey colors, made from wood or plastic. Since he also enjoys hockey, incorporating a hockey-related theme would make it more appealing. A key feature he wants is a cylinder in the middle to hold a water bottle or other items while also promoting overall organization. Inside the organizer, a dedicated space for documents and papers will help prevent them from getting lost.
Tue, Apr 1 CW- image of work completed in class
Today in class I realized that I had a flaw with my design. There would not be enough surface tension between my two pieces to allow for the screws and bolts to work efficiently. To fix this, I changed the distance between the two plates and combined the cylinder so that there would be a stronger surface tension. Also because of this I had to change how far the phone could move by changing the dimensions on the joint. I put the phone at different angles and then combined them. Moreover, I added screws and standoffs with the correct dimensions into my phone and I think that I am finished. Finally, I started to work on the next project of the desktop organizer. I finished reading the description and made 8 open ended questions.
Tue, Apr 1 HW – image of completed homework
For homework I finished my phone stand design and I will ask for feedback from the teacher. I added a plate at the bottom, and made a platform by using the joint command from the phone to the stand. I made sure the measurements were accurate. I also made another platform on the bottom to make sure the bottom stays a hold of itself.

For homework, I added my third drawing idea which was a magnet. I thought if I could use a fake magnet drawn by myself and use another lower piece of wood to hold the phone it would create a nice visual. The magnet would be stuck to a piece that would have a hinge that could go up and down.

Guiding Statement
I want to make a phone stand that utilizes Ideas that are fun and recognizable by children and people my age. Through the use of materials and ideas, I will make it very fun for others. Also, I would like to use wood and simple materials to make sure that my designs look simplistic.
Today in class, I sketched three designs using the ideas of a nintendo, a book, and a mortar from a video game. I labeled where the hinges would be and what the designs would look like.
