Week 6: A Finished Crayon Box



This is the final presentation of my boxes. The design and wrappers are all set and ready for display. Everything you see here was all done in Adobe Illustrator. I am please to say that I am glad how everything turned out. It took some trial and error to get the boxes to fit 8 crayons and make sure that the measurements were accurate. With my innovative design it solves the issue of having the box flat on the table. Now you are able to have a kick stand to have it stay in place and also having a box where it is easy to reach in for a crayon regardless of how big your fingers are. The design of the box is so sleek that once you are down coloring you can put the tab into the flap and put it in your pocket without having it feel so bulky in your pocket. With all three design they all have their own set of color combinations. For example, the snow boarding edition box has only shades of blue crayons. That way the person is not only tempted to buy the box but to also collect the other crayons.

Week 8: Wooden Cube

Image
This week we started to make our wooden cubes. In this process we have to make sure that the measurements that we have in our files are very accurate because if we make a cut with a laser we can not undo a cut with wood if the cut has already been made. We are using burch wood as our material to make these cubes and we will be using a laser cutter machine to get the percise cuts we need to put all of this together. Before we can use the laser cutter we needed to create our layout using Adobe Illustrator. During this time we have to make sure that the measurements were percise and to be able to do that we need to have a grid and checked off that the snap to grid option was on. Therefore, if we were to make a mistake then we are able to go back and check what went wrong when we tried to put the cube together. I went through two sets of cubes before I got it right. The first cube that you see was the easiest to create and put together because it did not have any tabs that needed to line...

Week 7: Wooden Box Layout

Image
For this week we are approaching this next assignment with a different material. This time we are going to be using wood. Before we can jump into the design and features of the box we need to make sure we know how to go about laying out the box. As you can see we are making a box that is       3"X 3"X 3". One box will have no tabs and the other will. The goal here is to make a box that can hold itself with adhesive and have a lid on it. The other one will not have adhesive but through the use of tabs that are on the squares when its all cut out all that is needed to be done is match the corresponding squares to one another and the tabs are what are going to keep the cube in shape.

Extra Credit: Print The Legend

Image
Print The Legend was a great documentary to give us an idea that we are moving into an era where we are getting more access to the means of production from the comfort of our own home. In the beginning of the documentary the Make Bot company started in the comfort of their own basement and it started off with only three people. It was an eye opening experience that they all encountered as the company started to grow. These three friends started to drift away because the power that was given to Bre Pettis made it impossible for their friends to stay at MakerBot. Then there came a controversy of people printing guns at home. This lead to something big that if we can print stuff to make our lives easier it can also put our lives in danger the fact that the printer can be used to print out objects that can be used to cause us harm.
