Canon AV-1 and Sony cans

One of the tasks that we were set was to pick two objects; one cylindrical and one rectangular, and do two layout sheets showing the objects from different views. Preferably the drawings were to be rendered and photoshop was allowed to lay all of your sketches out onto one sheet. These are some sketches of my dads camera, which was my rectangular product of choice, before i put them all together

Paint Roller

Every Thursday we have a design society which is a cool place to go and hang out, share ideas and get some drawings done. This is a study sheet of a paint roller i did there in about 30 mins. Also i had just gotten a new set of pro markers so this was my first attempt at adding a bit of colour to the mix.

Legos

Today theres a burst of posts. This is because I want to present all of my work from start to finish, and I'm about a month into my course right now which means I have to backtrack over previous stuff. These sheets are of legos, which seemed like simple enough objects at first but actually turned out to be quite challenging to draw. They are a great way to introduce the idea of correct proportions and also are a good start for someone who has never drawn in 3D. And they're fun to play with!

Working on rendering

Here are two sketch/render sheets that I produced a couple of weeks ago when I started. Nothing special but it allowed me to get an idea as to how pro-markers (the pens we have been introduced to) work, as well as how to successfully layout a sketch sheet and direct the lookers eye. I feel this is one of the most important aspects of sheets like this, there should be a hierarchy of sorts which leads the audience through the drawings almost like a story.

Intro

This is a blog to for me to use as a visual diary, with all my sketches, renderings and models of work i create here at Brunel. To design is to make progress, in terms of you making progress and becoming a better designer, but also in the sense that you advance a product and make it better. Hopefully, studying here at brunel I'll make progress of my own and this should become apparent in the quality of my work that i post. I hope you enjoy watching my progress as i am making it! My first task in Design process class was to illustrate a design process, a very open ended brief which i took more in the sense of "illustrate your design process" so i got to drawing and annotating one of my own. Heres my attempt; its based on the concept of a smart watch, something that i was taking an interest in at the time.

thanks for looking.
