I love Industrial Design

This is what we look like at school.......

This is not style or fashion .. hahhaha

This is carpentry school (formally known as Industrial Design)

Summer Project

I wanted to make this type of table out of cardboard for one of my classes ... but my teacher said not to because it would be too difficult ... so we had to settle for my partner's design.
Poor thing, she knows I hate her design but that I'm doing it just because the teacher told us to.
But, I'll be doing this during the summer.
The whole point of the project was to make a piece of furniture out of biodegradable materials.
So mine is a table/bookcase that can be used in 4 different positions (:
It will be a great addition to my new room :D

Para el Día de Hoy

So, there is not really an outfit for today.
Truth be told, I wore random jeans, with my 6th grade P.E. shirt and a pair of oxfords....
There was no real imagination/creativity behind it; but I have an excuse: I had 4 projects due today (one more complicated than the other three--which were, in no way, at all easy).
Here are pictures of some of the projects I turned in:

Materials and Prototypes II class:

This is my tribute to the late Alexander McQueen.
I just hate it when people ask me if this was based on the "Lady Gaga" shoe ... ugh
Anyways, this was done with melted aluminum (which was placed into a type of cast or mold created with the styrofoam version of the above shoe I first made).
I couldn't make the actual heel because it would have broken off while getting the melted aluminum into the mold :(
But, oh well ... sh*t happens, no?
I sanded away and sanded away for about five hours in a row, and that was the end result.

This right here is a type of coat rack.
It is made from wood and stainless steel.

And, for my Inventor class:

The Guitar Hero battery set ...
We did this in a group of three people ... when we turned it in, the professor was kind enough to tell us that our team should have consisted of 5-6 people.
Oh well, I suppose he'll have mercy on us if there are some mistakes here and there.


Wow, even though I HATE the stress of getting things done, I LOVE it when they are completed.
I love being an Industrial Design student.
I wouldn't change it for the world!
