Elements of Design

Just thought this picture related to the lecture we had to day on the elements of design and thought that the lines forming in this looked really cool. You could say they create tension.... but no-one really cares.

Sketches From Central Railway Station

Here are just a few of my drawings/sketches from central railway station of the various lines we can see.
Dont judge me, i was so tired....

 The ones above give examples of the texture as well as line movement/placement at central.

And these are just random drawings of random stuff at central, but i cant even tell what their meant to be so meh.....

Central Railway Pictures

If anyone wants any pictures of Central Railway station, i have plenty.

Random Artwork

This is just some stuff i do in my spare time... its pretty average, but at least it gives me a break from all the design work we have to do!

 This was meant to be an album cover for a friends band, but kinda stuffed up on the colours and the whole thing, so i just left it...

Just a charcoal sketch of some random house.

Geometrical Pattern Assessment

finally got my Geo Pattern back for Communication A, got 14/20 so now that we have the weekend coming up i can finally celebrate!!!!

Sketches for Design Fundamentals

Im so bored atm so i just decided to take pictures of everything in my room and post it on my blog...

 These are my connection sketches of just random stuff on and around my desk:

Yes i do have a picture of hands on my desk!!! its not weird at all.....

These are my Leaf Sketches:

Lathe work for modelmaking.

This was so fun!!!

 Lol, it looks like half a mushroom.... tried colouring the bottom of this spinning top, gotta love those copic markers.

Anyone Out there looking for Blue Modelling Foam?

If you are interested, I know of a company whose factory is in Wetherhill Park where you can pick up big pieces of Blue Modelling Foam for pretty cheap.

They have lots as you can see, and they can cut yours down to a certain size, if you ask nicely.

There called Dynamic Composite Technologies and you can leave an inquiry on their website at www.dctech.com.au

All Done....

but it looks so bad i think i might do it again.......lol joks, no way!!

Painted Dynamic Pattern

After 6 hours i have finally finished one of the dynamic patterns.... Omg, no way im doing the other one now....

Finally finished Patterns

YAY!!!!!  now all i have to do is finish painting them....

New Project for Communication A

Hopefully no-one is doing a similar project... if you are then well....to bad.

Idea for Surface & Structure Assignment

While i was at work i found something that was really cool but disgusting at the same time......lol, i wont tell you what these pictures are but you can try and find out if you want.

Powerhouse museum poster

Just figured id see if anyone actually knows what designer i am trying to imitate.....cmon, have a guess, it'll be fun. If you get it right ill give you a lolly. :)

Arne Jacobsen

Hey all, found this article on Arne Jacobsen's Grand Prix Chair of 1957, so if any of you want some interesting facts on him just read this.

Poster Design Idea

Its only a draft done in charcoal, just testing out different styles. Say whatever you want I really don't care, thats why its called constructive criticism.

This is another draft done in Pen for a new and modern light.

Design article on cars

This is just an article a found on the changing nature of design to 'green' power or sustainable design.

Powerhouse Museum

Hey all, just letting you know that the powerhouse museum is showing a good collection of design awards from HSC students to University students and is a good way to see what kind of products and ideas are useful in todays society.
I took a few photos of the interesting ones:

This is a 1:400 scale mode of the Aldar HQ, located in Dubai. This model, along with its surroundings was tested using a wind tunnel how wind loads might affect different structural and cladding designs.

This Pulse Heart Transportation System is used to preserve and sustain a donor's heart in transportation in order to give the patient greater success with his/her heart transplant and with this significantly new development the hearts life during transportation is dramatically increased.

These wireless speaker units were designed specifically for people gathering in pubs. The speaker localises the sound whether from the TV or Radio and reduces the overall noise levels in the venue.

This Bumpfree Dynamic Speed Bump contains a fluid with both flexibility and durability. The unique properties of this fluid allows cars to drive slowly over the speed bump without experiencing any actual 'bump,' however, if the car speeds over the bump, the fluid-like substance hardens, similar to the traditional speed-bump we still use.

Some other cool designs I thought were interesting were the designs located in the sustainable product section of the museum. These plates, cups and cutlery are made from reconstituted bamboo and are entirely biodegradable. Bamboo is a strong, light, cheap and sustainable alternative to plastic and/or silverware.

This is just one example I picked from the DesignTECH exhibition for Year 12 students in 2010. It is an instantly deployed relief shelter built with the intention of providing sustainable relief for victims. It was designed in response to the Haiti disaster and is a quick and easy method of providing relief to victims fast.
