Objective
To design and fabricate a dynamic piece to study the purpose of aesthetics within design.
Inspiration
Influenced by mechanical wooden puzzle toys and gears in order to display visual appeal and provide movement. Researched whimsical and steampunk themes as a guiding point for the aesthetic.
Concept Design
Drawn sketches and 3D modeling using Autodesk Fusion 360 that capture the ideation phase of the design process. Used to convey aesthetics and form prior to prototyping.
Fabrication
Laser cut wooden pieces from 3D models, finished with wood stain, and assembled.
