Fluid Form

This project shows the investigation of a slow curve. By using a single material I created a 3 dimensional model based on two precedents; Herzog and de meuron and Zakary Kinnaird. Herzog and de Meuron and Zakary Kinnaird both use fluid form by using structure, repetition, light, cuts and folds to create abstract and 3 dimensional compositions. The material that I constructed my model from was paper, which I cut through and folded to get the effect of a 3 dimensional model. I chose to use paper as it leaves a very clean, crisp cut, it creates evocative shadows and when light is shone through it, it illuminates the paper. I feel that my model consisted of all these elements which made it very effective and successful.

Review

I made this blog as a class assignment, which has helped me learn more about the internet and connecting with other people in another type of environment. I have read through the class list and visited most of the sites leaving a sprinkle of comments of encouragement on the way. I found a number of work that I liked such as; Olly Wayne as he has an awesome vLog, Matt Armitage as he has a well thought out composite image and cool template, Tom Rutledge just has an wicked page.

My first vLog, Hiring a DVD

This is a video of me doing the process of hiring a dvd from video ezy.

Design Blogs

The blogs I have chosen are clear, concise and compelling. They have good layout which makes them easy to read through. Design for mankind has new photos added everyday of new products, prints, photos, books and style. Form fifty five also has new photos added most days of strange design posters, balloons and videos. Luxuo is a blog with all new products which are the top of the range, such as super yachts, mansions and jewellery.
