Making progress....

So I've made progress with my experience book mock ups because I now have decided what the casing for the book will look like. I'll be making a cake out of styrofoam and decorating the exterior. The top of the cake will be taken off and inside the circular book can be found. The only thing is, I haven't decided what type of decoration or color the exterior is going to be.

Lecture

Tonights lecture on environment/interior design was semi informative. Every time I listen to a lecture of a certain major, it makes me realize that I am completely sure that I am in the right major of illustration because although these other majors have something different to offer, for me, mine interests me the most.

New Project

Im actually excited to be starting this new project. It was easy to pick my experience. I'll be doing the experience of baking a cake since I do it often. :)

Final Chairs

I was very impressed to see all the different ways minimalism was expressed through building a seat. Some were elaborate and some were simple, but yet appealing. I surprised myself in this project with just the fact that I could actually build something!

Done!!

My chair is now complete!! I am happy with the result. I also am happy that I was surrounded by kind, helpful people that were able to help me out with making the chair. I learned some new things with this whole experience, but am sure I will not be building "things" anytime soon.

The chair project

The whole designing and making/building the chair hasn't been entirely terrible. I can't say that I've technically enjoyed it, but it hasn't been too bad.
