The Coat Hook: Concept Generation; Part 1

    Once again I think I may have tried to get to complex too quickly. Here is an overview of what I was working on.
    It started with the heart design, honestly the hardest part was dealing with the points where the two half of the hearts intersected. I think struggling with someone that felt like it should have been so simple was a bit discouraging.



    I think to make this design work I would need to redo the spikes/hangers, so that 1) your coats are not being stabbed and 2) I don't think (?) the direct points are technically possible to print? I don't know. I can't boolean the points to the rest of the heart and I think that is why but I do not know. Also, when I designed this I was actually designing it more thinking it would be a jewelry holder. I think it may be a bit to complex to hold a good deal of coats, but I think this would work awesome to hang and display jewelry on.

The following coat hangers are quite a bit simpler in design. More traditional coat hangers.


The one pictured above could be used on it's own, or you could put multiple on a base to create another simple style coat hanger.

    The following piece is based off something I seen on google. To be honest, I was running out of creative juices. It might have been better for me to come up with some of the concepts as sketches, but I do want to familiarize myself more with rhino hence why I chose to mock them up in rhino.
    The last, but certainly not least, is my favourite. Definitely my favourite concept I came up with.

The cutlery coat hanger! My idea is the plate would actually be cut in half at this point, maybe slightly less than half. I'm not sure how yet it would be mounted to the wall, (hoping someone with more handyman skills than I might have an idea), but the plate would look like it was protruding from the wall, the knife and fork being where you hand your coats, and the plate you could place your keys, wallet, the things you grab and go with each day when you leave your house. The last one is my favourite because, in my opinion, it definitely ticks all the boxes we came up with as a class (might have to make the plate thicker for strength but of course this is a mock up), I think it's fun to look at and would function well, and that I enjoy.

Assignment 2: Castle; Cathedral

Image
 Hannah Mhairi My Cathedral  For this assignment, I decided to very loosely base my castle off of this specific image of St. Paul's cathedral. I've always been interested in the Victorian era, the architecture, the aesthetics, so that is why I felt compelled to do something like this. I felt a bit in over my head at times but I'm quite pleased with the outcome! Here she is in all her glory. Check out the crosses on top! I was pretty proud of myself for executing those. If you look closely at the windows pictured above, you'll notice there's an angle to the windows. They are shallower on the inside and wider on the outside, I thought it added some nice dimension to these 2nd floor windows. I do think this Cathedral is a bit like a bad ponytail, it's best if you don't stare at it from the back for too long. I also feel as though I could use some work with texturing, but I'm hoping maybe we'll be covering this more in class soon. For my cathedral, I use...

Assignment 3: Hollow Form Object: Concept Generation

 Hannah Mhairi OBDF110 September 21, 2024 Hollow Form Object: Concept Generation     For this assignment, I've really struggled. I don't understand all the concepts and it's overwhelming me. I haven't been able to receive the answers to my questions which has left me feeling more stressed. I do not have comments about each individual photo I am going to include but I will add them. As to why some of them look like they've been screenshotted from a different program, that's because they have. I meant to send myself my concepts in rhino format, but accidentally sent them as .STL's, and so to open them from my home computer they look weird. Anyways, without further ado...     First, I will show you my very first concepts. I was going way too complex for my first concepts, I think.     Things were not going well at this point but I honestly felt less confused then, than I do now. Carrying on.     None of the things listed above would work for wha...

Assignment 4: 3D Printed Hollow Form Object; Won't be the First, Won't be the Last

Image
 Hannah Mhairi OBDF110 September 23, 2024 Won't be the First, Won't be the Last     This design was inspired by me trying to go SIMPLER and honest when it got featured on POTW, I figured this one would be good one to roll with. It ended up kind of looking like a female form, particularly it reminded me of, in Art History, we've seen a few images of the female form carved in stone. It reminded me of that when it was done. That's where the title for this assignment comes from. The female form has been portrayed time and time again in countless different mediums, but it is such a natural thing to want to illustrate. So do it. You won't be the first, and you won't be the last. I think people need to remember that more often when debating whether or not they want to carry out a concept. I often get discouraged when I see someone execute I thought of "on my own." But the reality is, nowadays, if you thought of it, someone else probably already has, too. So e...
