FINAL Luminary Assembly:
As pictured below, my final luminary is assembled. Today (Thursday, 6/1/23), I will present my designs to the class.
——————————————————————————————————————————-
Homework and Classwork for Thursday 5/25/23:
I have finished my luminary designs on fusion! They are pictured below. As you can see, I have created the common middle section between all 4 panels; my inspiration for this was a theme of a strong vault-like structure. For the side with the arrows, I wanted it to be a “guiding panel”, almost to direct the eyes to the circles placed through through the middle of the top and bottom, in varying sizes. For the panel with the “shattered” effect, it was meant to almost look as if the “vault” had been broken into, an those were the remnants of the walls. The geometry of the lines on the top and the bottom is very similar, with subtle differences hidden throughought!

Classwork and Homework for Monday 5/22/23 – Wednesday 5/24/23:
For these past three days, I have completely devoted my efforts to completing my luminary design on Fusion. As pictured below, I have developed a finalized idea: the middle section, of each luminary section will share the identical complex pattern. However, the tops and bottoms will be drastically unique to each other, drawing the eye to these shapes, and this will enable me to present an interesting image to the brain.
The common middle sections are pictured below:

I developed my “rocket to space” design more, and have it made it much more “luminary-like”. I will continue to develop the aesthetics and design. Additionally, I am going to make it an opposite-side identical design, so the second unique design will be based off an American flag.
——————————————————————————————————————————-

Homework for 4/13/23: Completed Organizer Design!
*Note to Mr. Brodie: I’m having a few issues with the back wall of the design (specifically not being able to extrude supports into it), as well as some issues with the drawer underneath. I will discuss this with you in class on 4/13 (Thursday). Other than that, my design is good to go!

Homework for 4/5/23: Spoke with Louis about Final Design
Louis loves the design, as well as the size. He showed me the area on his desk where he would like it to go (it fits perfectly), and he wanted very few changes. Overall, Louis was extremely happy about all aspects of the build, as he told me, and he said he can’t wait to use the final design, with the actual shelves and drawer!

Homework for 3/29/23: 6 Concept Sketches/Images
Prompt Used for AI:
Generate 6 unique concept images. Each image should be 8k, photorealistic, highest quality. For each image, create a unique desktop organizer design using these constraints and requirements: the organizer should be, at most, within 14 inches by 14 inches by 14 inches. It should prioritize the organization of notebooks, and it should be both wider and longer than it is tall. Each unique design should be smooth, with curves incorporated, and there should be at least 1 drawer in the organizer. Most importantly, it should be realistic, efficient, functional, and look amazing.

Classwork for 3/27/23: Statement of Problem Paragraph:
Louis, while already a fairly organized person, could always use some level of improvement. The problem is that he still has certain things in his room and on his desk that are disorganized, and the goal of this organizer is to help solve this issue as well as maintain his organization.
Specifically, Louis faces the issue of notebook organization, and he wants a solution that incorporates the majority of its storage horizontally, rather than vertically (wider>taller). The project parameters dictate a 14in^3 maximum size, so these are the dimensional constraints I will be working with. Louis, would also like a smooth, simple design with multiple curves incorporated, as well as at least 1 drawer; overall, he would like a functional, smooth looking and efficient desktop organizer. All of these factors form my design constraints and requirements, and are the goals I will be working to accomplish when creating Louis’s desktop organizer.

Homework for Monday 3/27/23: Desktop Organizer Interview Answers:
——————————————————————————————————————————-
Classwork for 3/23/23: Desktop Organizer Interview Questions:
- How much potential space could you reserve for this organizer?
- Since I am constrained to 14in^3, would you rather have me incorporate more storage vertically or horizontally?
- What items could you see yourself putting in this organizer?
- Would you rather have more open storage (i.e. shelves) or drawers in the organizer?
- Would you prefer more straight edges and corners or curves incorporated?
- Would you prefer a more complex design (visually), or a simpler design, with more emphasis on function.
- Would you prefer a drawer, secret compartment, or both incorporated?
- Would you like a rougher, more natural, wood design, or a sanded, smoother wood design?
