The Clip

This is my final clip. I wanted it to show how mass produced objects/item (eg: cards) are made for a purpose in Industrial design and one of the main purposes is that of human interaction with that object/item.

Concept 3

Cards

A Mass Produced Object that Benefits Society Through a Purpose for Human Interaction.

I showed the the beginning of my stop motion in only a few seconds which wasn't very good at all and I couldn't manage to do what I was intending to do in a stop motion so I decided on this third concept. Which includes the use of cards where I have decided to focus more on the purpose/functionality of the object/item that benefits our society in a sociable way rather than concentrating on the attachment/bond to an object/item.

Font used for the text: A NEW WAY OF SEEING. 
I developed this font from the playing cards themselves so that it links the two.

Concept 2

Notebook

Forming an Attachment/Bond to a Mass Produced Object Through Time

My first idea showed the relationship between the object and its owner, but I wanted to concentrate more on the human interaction (consumer) side than that of the objects point.

The Notebook

I wanted to show how my I am doing my layouts for the notebook. IE: this is the format for the end of the first 5 days.

The Clip

I am majoring in industrial design so I looked into how mass produced objects/items becomes something unique to its owner. This is shown through how its owner treats their object eg: drops it and it gets a crack or scratch marks. If they chose to make it their own through drawing on it or decorating it to show their own personality/identity in their object. I believe that through consumerism that most objects/items that are mass produced develops its own personality and attachment to their owner as time goes on because the consumer has their own unique identity that this is shown through their objects/items. These small decorative qualities are not for the wider consumer (the whole) but just for that consumer whose object it is as they have journeyed and developed an attachment/bond to that object. I also believe that all mass produced objects should benefit society for a purpose that human interaction with that object/item becomes unique to those who are interacting with that object eg: memories made through using that object/item. I am also very big on aesthetics of and object/item because that is usually what attracts the consumer in to buy it.
So I want to try and show this in my process as well as in my clip.

Concept 1

The Hat

A Mass Produced Object Develops its own Identity through Human Interaction

This was my first idea where I wanted to show how the industrial state of our world with everyday objects that we have, becomes unique through time. The object develops its own identity as its owner becomes attached that that object.

Project 3 - Grow

Precedents:

This precedent I used to show how a simple geometric shape (the cude) can be transformed to create a new forms.

This precedent I used because I liked the intricate workings which sort of looks like nerves.

I chose this precedent because of it geometric patterning.

These precedents shows how linking things can be aesthetically pleasing.

I really likes the repitition of the curves and the assymetry yet symetric touches.

Development Images:

Exploring shapes and forms.

Developing patterns mainly but exploring new forms too.

Developing new forms.

A new way of thinking with forms. Diamond inspiration.

Final Render of 3D Digital models:

I place on different levels to create a display setting to highlight the importance of the three models as well as the create an atmosphere about the objects.

Final Photo of 3D Printed Model:

I wanted to highlight the importance of my twirling tendrils and the glitter texture.

Hunter Building

The building that I have decided upon is the Hunter Building, named after Sir Thomas Hunter in 1959, that is situated in Kelburn Campus at Victoria University of Wellington. I chose this magnificence structure due to its distinctive Gothic Revival Characteristics that adds both a history and aesthetics to the University.

There is a lot of history within this structures’ configuration that shows just what an important landmark it become to be. Beginning with the foundation being laid for this building in 1904 and subsequently the finished building was opened in 1906. Through the years that had come and gone many extensions, re-strengthening and refurbishments were made/added to the structure to what we see today. However the true essence of this building is still alive today.

This landmark’s distinctive characteristics consists that of decorative windows creating important focal points for the building which are surrounded by ornamental features which is referenced back to the point of “the merging of the decorative with the functional” (Megan Aldrich (1994)) that was widely popular with Gothic Revivalists in the nineteenth century.

Inspired from the Gothic Revival era the Hunter Building displays contrasting signs of an “organic nature of the style with the formal symmetry of classically inspired architecture”. (Megan Aldrich (1994)) This includes the emphasis on the rectilinear forms of the building of both the ascending columns on the corners and the edging at the top story and the nature induced limestone framing of around most the windows.
