IDEO Deep Dive Video

I thought this video was very inspirational.  The people in this video proved that there is nothing that can't be achieved, or made better.  The IDEO workers push themselves to new levels every time they step into their workspace.  A main point that was made was that crazy, seemingly unrealistic ideas, lead to the ideas that turn out to be true winners.  From this video I learned that you have to think out of the box in order to make something really great.  I really enjoyed watching this video and I hope to one day push myself to new levels like these workers did to make my own art and creations great.

Another 5 Objects of Good Design

I chose this image because, it may not be the most detailed, but it is very bold.  It gets right to the point, and tells exactly what I am trying to depict.  

I really like how this image turned out.  Again, it is not very detailed, but the lines, and the contrast between the positive and negative space really make the image pop.  

As a contour line drawing, I really like how this shoe turned out.  It shows a lot of shape, and there really is no need for a ton of detail, it is simple, but intricate at the same time.

This is not a drawing, but I really like how the image turned out.  I like how it narrows in on the TOMS label and how the background is blurry.  I thought this image turned out pretty decent.

This was my favorite image of the entire project.  It was a contour line drawing, and I really like the shape all of the lines give the shoe.  It gives the drawing depth, and texture as well.

5 TOMS Sketches

This is a TOMS heel.  I chose to draw this with as a combination of contour lines, and then adding value.  I liked how the lines gave the shoe a lot of shape, and really emphasized its curvature.  

These are scribble drawings of my object.  Each sketch on this page was done in about 10 seconds as the time frame.  I like the scribble drawings because it shows the movement of my pencil and arm when creating an image.

I really like playing with the different angles when drawing, especially when the assignment is to draw the same object over and over.    The arial view of this image is different and unique compared to a majority of the other drawings I did.

This sketch was my favorite.  I experimented with the negative space, and then added value.  I like the pair of shoes, and how they are sitting.  I like how this sketch turned out all in all, however I think a little bit more value could be added if I wanted to.

These are scribble drawings, however they are not super "scribbly".  In my mind, they are a cross between contour and scribble drawings.  The time frame was longer on these, thus why they look neater than the scribble sketch above.

Objectified

Objectified is a documentary style video that describes our view of products.  These products are manufactured to be beautiful gadgets that people will love, use and therefore buy.  The documentary is an in-depth look at how all of these items were made, and shows all of the work that is needed to simply make the design.  On top of the design, the execution of actually making the product is a large process in itself.  These designers seek to make unique, sustainable, products.  The designers want to make influential products that make peoples lives easier, and more efficient with everyday tasks.
This movie has everything to do with everyone. Everyone uses these objects on a daily bases.  And no one realizes the work that is required to make just great products.  I hope to one day create epic, beautiful designs through my photographs.  I want to make beauty and have people appreciate my hard work.  On top of that I want to inspire people so that they have a drive to do the same.
