I decided to create squares that could press together for my parametric design. I explored Gram, Cuttle, and Fusion 360 software. I decided to use Fusion 360 since it made working alongside my peers easier. My initial design within 360 did not print well, and I had a lot of double lines. I also wanted a kit that could be combined to make various-sized boxes for storage. I redesigned the squares with cleaner lines and was careful about where I added constraints. This allowed me to create boxes, but the joints were flimsy and hard to construct. My next step would be to explore different joints for sturdiness.
Vinyl Cutting - Laptop Sticker: I decided to make a laptop sticker of the Harvard logo. I used corel draw to outline trace the image and cut. After removing the pieces I didn't want and using trasfter paper, the sticker went on smoothly.
Website development - I created a basic website structure to display my work for the first 2 weeks. I hope to add separate pages each week and better size my images. I would also like to add different colors and design elements throughout the course.
