Polyhedral Packaging

For this project, the class was assigned to use any polyhedral shape and form a certain composition out of one or more shapes. In my first try I had many Hexagonal Prisms that I used as a base. They all came together pretty well and eveyone seemed to the the writing I have done on top. But for the packaging, I wanted to make one package seem collectible to the customers. At first I came up with a hand sanitizing dispenser. The sanitizer will be the kept inside a cartoon-type of body with a big nose. The user will pump the soap onto his hands appearing that it is mucus. My final approach was to create an Adobe Creative Suite packaging. I made hexagonal prisms and in each one, a CD of that software, such as Photoshop CS4, will be placed into the hexagonal prism. If a customer collects all 6 softwares, then they will reveal the secret code on the bottom which is actually the Adobe logo. I also created a promotional ad for the Adobe polyhedral project. The project was very fun to do and I am very pleased with my results and outcome of the project.

Robotic Arm

For this project, the class had to take anything that is recyclable and make something out of it that is wearable. The first couple of things that came to my mind were flashing gloves and glowing shoes. But as I pondered more and more I thought of a robot and how detailed a robots arm is. I did some research online on how I could make it and was unsuccessful because of the sleekness that robots these days have. I started to remember that I have an old Power Mac G4 that no one uses anymore because it is obsolete. So what i did was gut out the entire system and all its parts could be used as parts for the robot arm. I had some trouble disassembling the computer but in the end I was successful. There is two parts to the arm that are atattched by a cable. The arm is wearable and looks almost like a real robot arm.
