Group Assignment 2: Paper Planes, Finished!

Another project brought to you by CapFe! This is our final colour wheel assignment. We used the spectrum of visible light (in other words, the colours of the rainbow) and paper planes.

From the other angle.

Now we're just fooling around.

Lisa's gonna eat all the planes!

Me being silly. They're like wings!

Progressively getting darker. The sky, that is.

Here's how it looks like at night.

Our classmates on the presentation day.

These are the other group's works!

     

Group Assignment 2: Colour Wheel

I was in CapFe's group again, consisting of me, Zue, Lisa, Rosey, Li Wei, and Kush! We were given some time to discuss in a group on what we wanted to do. These are some of the things we brainstormed about.

Miss Lisa liked our lamp, and paper planes idea. We decided to carry on with the latter, which was originally suggested by Li Wei.

Group Assignment 1: Finished Furniture!

CapFe Industries present; the steampunk-inspired umbrella stand!

Our presentation went fairly well. I'm so glad we managed to pull through to finish this. :']

Group Assignment 1: Furniture Design Progress

After consulting with Miss Lisa in our first group tutorial and telling her about our change of plans, she said it was okay and we were advised to use silicone glue to put our umbrella stand together. Last saturday, we went to Ace Hardware at Ikano Power Centre to buy some supplies (such as silicone glue, spray paint and bits of plastic pipes for our steampunk-styled decorations) before heading over to my house to build it.

My house has been renovated recently, so there were a lot of spare parts lying around that we could use for our project.

Figuring out how to put it all together. That's what I call improvising, heh.

We found old table legs and CD racks to use for the umbrella stand!

Cleaning the parts before painting, to make sure we don't paint over dirt.

We dismantled the CD rack and started spray painting it red, and the table legs gold. Our inspiration was Iron Man, with a steampunk twist.

We have to wait one day for the paint to fully dry. I'm glad we bought the spray paint. It really gives a finished look to everything.

After this, all that was left was to glue it together using silicone glue, and decorate it! Silicone glue is really strong. It's the glue used to piece together the glass of an aquarium!

Our progress so far. 

Group Assignment 1: Furniture Design

I'm more inclined to graphics design and multimedia, so I never thought I'd have to be designing and building furniture one day! Heh.

In the lecture, Miss Lisa showed us examples of furniture using old and discarded items. It was really inspiring to see all the things one could make just from things lying about! Just goes to show that not everything needs to be bought from a store, if you have a little creativity.

This assignment was fairly interesting, since we had to split into groups of 6 to design and build a piece of working furniture. I volunteered to be team leader, with my teammates Lisa, Zue, Priya, Li Wei and K. For our presentation on that day, we had to pick a piece of furniture and think up of the concept and methods to create it by using recycled and repurposed materials.

We decided to make use of a big ol' TV that my grandmother wanted to throw out, and turn it into a multi-purpose bookshelf! It'll be a bookshelf, among many other things.

Our backup plan was to make an umbrella holder using egg cartons and pipes.

The specs.

Some rough sketches I did.

That's Priya taking a photo of Zue's writing, and me in the background writing things in my notebook.

Me again.

The final product has to be completed in about 3 weeks. Hopefully we'll make it in time!
