Final Piece

if you look closly you can see it looks like a star that gets more and more spikes the furter back it goes.
i realy like the final outcome of this project.
Looking dowin into my final piece
BY sticking two of the tree points together i was able to form a sort of semi circle.
All i id was to repeat this pattern until  i had a half a ball , then i an into a problem.
If i was to keep repeating this then the shape would end up being a complete ball shape so i had to do something different.
  
When i got to the middle i broke my rule of sticking two of the three points down and instead only stuck in an attempt to expand the size of my model and i am happy to say it worked.
This is what the inside/bottom of my model looks like. when i hang this piece not only will people be able to see the outside of my model but this inside as well.
I used a 8cm line then connected the points with a compass
Then i used they triangle i had cut out as a template to cut out more.
I fold each point to opposite edge and make a crease

Origami

my first paper krain 
I started playing with origami after stumbling on to a youtube video on how to make an paper elephant
then cut up some blue and green card to bake a back drop.

Poster Design

I only noticed how bad the quality of my cutting work was when i printed this out in A2.
First i tuck a piece of card and made half a cm folds all the way around the edges so it would be slightly elevated the i continued to cut out the letters i Had hand drawn in, the numbers stud up whilst the letters were just cut out.

I thorte that if i pot sum coloured card underneath the box then maybe it would not look so bad... as you can see i was wrong.


after i carefully made my 0 0 sectioned it up and wrote the information inside i began to cut away at the gaps with a scalpel.
I saved all the cut out pieces and reassembles them on a table i was never planning on using them for part of my design but i do think it looks very interesting against the wooden background.


So this is what it looks like on its own with a plain black background i had to cut tiny slits is the paper to enable the numbers to stand
i placed my desing over a lampshade just to see what it would look like and i sort of like it, makes a really nice photograph but not a vey good poster.
I do like the thorte of the number coming off the page and sitting behind one another but i think the angle of my photography is off in this one.
this one i think is a little better if u pay no attention to the hand in the background although if i was to use this as a poster it would need a lot of work.
After putting the image into photoshop it was easy to manipulate the image into a aesthetically pleasing form/
i experimented with different  colours in the gaps, shadows and layouts.
MY FINAL POSTER DESIGN!!!!!!
I really think this is the best poster i cam up with i love the colour the shading and the layout.
I realy like thw orange in this imahe but it renders the text just to hard to make out.
This is the original photograph that i tuck to make make the final piece with.
Hanging my work from the ceeling seemed like a grate idea at the time but proved useless. i was unable to get a half decent photograph of it and it ended up falling and getting damaged, bad move.

The Slinky



My slinky thing
I tuck a piece of green card and cut it into a rectangle then cut one of the short edges into a slant.
Then from the slanted side to the straight edge i cut thin strips all the way Down and left about a cm of card at the bottom uncut,
Then I folded each strip cack on itself and glued it down to form a ring.

primary research

Looking at shapes structure and forms in every day life these are just a few things I found in and around my Accommodation but you can see how the curtains could be copied using the scoring technique.

Air vents have a recurring pattern
phone wire

By keeping the bottom of this piece I'd focus and letting the top blur i feel I have give the photograph so real depth of field.
