Sketch Models That Didn't Quite Make It...

These are the rest of my sketch models that I made for my industrial design, but for one reason or another, didn't make it to the final cut.

Final Industrial Design!

I finally finished my Industrial Design! I think it turned out absolutely awesome!

I actually made some last minute changes to it. The top of the coffee table that I was going to use is now the bottom of it. It seemed too bland and boring compared to this side of the cut wood. I decided to use this side instead because it has so much more variety to it and is very unique. It is absolutely gorgeous compared to the other side and that is why I chose to use this side instead.







It is made out of Walnut plywood that I got from Clark's Hardwoods in Houston. My return trip from Houston took me 4 and a half hours to drive instead of 1hour and 45 minutes because a major part of Highway 290 was shutdown completely and I was stuck in the middle lane for almost an hour and a half until I was actually able to move and then it took another hour to try and find an alternate route to get back to College Station.

All I have to say is that small inconvenience was well worth it to be able to make this coffee table out of that wood I bought!

One week Isn't too late is it?

The week of November 29, I mainly worked on my Industrial Design all week as much as possible. On Tuesday night, I stayed up extra late taking pictures of my Behavioral Setting and working on my portfolio. Wednesday I went to the Ranch to get my Final Industrial Design cut out and I actually was not able to work on it and had to go back later. Thursday I went to the Ranch again to finish my Design, and got very close, but had to leave it over night to finish it on Friday. Thursday night I stayed up late again to take pictures of all my projects I have done in this class. I would say that this week was one of the most exhausting weeks of my life even though this was just a glimpse of it. I survived though, and that's all that matters!
