Assignment:
PS10 is the final hands-on project in this class. As such, we will ask you to design and fabricate any product of your choice. The product should be something that makes you or someone else happy. It should be something that you will enjoy using yourself or give to someone else as a gift. The item/product can be a practical one, such as stationery and kitchenware, or aesthetic (ornament, jewelry, etc.). Try to make the product customized and/or personalized to your or your gift recipient.
We hope all the design/fabrication skills that you have learned in this class will be helpful in your final project, buy you should feel free to try new design/fabrication methods that you are interested in learneing. So far in this class, you have used carious materials: paper, acrylics, silicone, foam, and clay. You have also learned how to: come up with product ideas by sketching, use non-metal materials, design a detailed shape with a 3D CAD package, and fabricate a mockup or a final product by using DIY fabrication methods such as laser cutting, heat forming, gluing, 3D scanning, 3D printing, silicone molding, foam building, and clay modeling.
Be creative, and enjoy the process of combining various design ideas, different materials, and hands-on fabrication methods.
