I had many variations of website design, each one suiting to the design on the graphic language of the time I felt the website had included all the information but didn’t have character.
Paper prototype
The last two days i worked on a paper prototype of the installation. We wanted to know if our idea was doable. One of the things I fond out was that we don’t need a full ring of PVC pipe inside the installation. in the prototype there was a bit of friction when turning the…
Construction sketch pt2
After discussing my first sketches with the group and various teachers I started with creating a more detailed construction sketch. I chose to draw a cross section of the installation with all the measurements included so that we would have an idea of the materials that we would need to construct the installation. I have…
3-D printing testing
Kaj and I began 3-D printing the models to see if the design where feasible, affordable, the designs worked and be used for the models for all teirs of our installation . With this I learned when creating the designs, that I should not have things extruding to much and to have very little to…
The first Sprint
The feedback from the first sprint
Design Document
For the Design Document I used the MoSCoW method to figure out what the core of our concept is and what is optional. I also made a State Transition Diagram to show what kind of states our installation will have and how and when the installation switches from state to state. The rest also worked…
Giving the installation hierarchy
We then decided to have the installation maps stylized, and not based on measurement but more focusing on figures that give a personality to the place they are based on. We want to add more visual interest through having them on raised layers and create more of a hierarchy.
Construction sketch pt1.
Today I started working on my first construction sketch. It does not yet have the sizes anfd materials worked out. For now my sketch is inspired by of all the ideation sketches that have been made by the group and combines all of them into the final concept sketch to give everyone an idea what…
Old Graphic Language
I was not entirely sure how to start the graphic language of the design so I began by creating vectors of the main buildings in Enschede. I am debating on using either Poppins or Karla for the fonts, using google fonts so it can be applied throughout the website.
The questionnaire results
We are very happy with the number of answers we received from the questionnaire, we accumulated a grand total of 41 responses within 2 days which is perfect. We studied and discussed the spaces and places that people submitted and place the ones that we found appropriate in a spreadsheet based on the categories that…
