RHINO CLASSES AT INDA - starting next Tuesday - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Rhino(ceros) is a 3D modelling software which you will come across during your studies here.

I strongly recommend you to take this class with Aj Fredrik and Lara.

Jean?

Jean you are the only one who has not yet posted your new wire sculpture photograph on the blog.
No excuse for this i am sorry..!

It is time for you to start working seriously.
Best wishes and good luck - I expect a lot from you on Monday.

Boss and Munkong : lmproved map and statement

Full map

Human Mapping Statement (improved)

Human surface area according to Haycock formula is 0.24265 x h^0.3964 x w^0.5378 and Munkong, with a weight of 75 kg and a height of 185 cm, surface area is 1.96 m^2 or 19600 cm^2. Comparing with a newspaper which is 5574 cm^2; it takes about 3.5 pieces of newspaper to fully cover his body surface area. According to our research our human body surface are divided into percentage which is 9% head, 18% chest, 9% left arm, 9% right arm, 18% stomach, 1% reproductive organ, 18% right leg, and 18% left leg. Moving on to the presentation; after discussing the concept of the project with A.j. Camillee, we came up with an idea of making a net toy of human with a real surface area and so this is our output. Here, in the map, the red color represent the surface area of the head which is 1764 cm^2, the Blue part as body with a surface area of 7164 cm^2, and the Green part representing the arms (1764 cm^2 each) and black representing legs (3582 cm^2 each) all in all making a surface area of 19404 cm^2 not including the 1% from the reproductive organ. The Colours represent attractiveness of the body part from the most attractive to least attractive by Red is the most attractive part (Head) follow by Blue (Body) ,Green (Arms) and Black (Legs).

for next tutorial....

Dears,

For next tutorial on Wednesday, you will have to bring:
_ a text describing the idea of the device you are about to produce (the movement it maps, how, why, how it relates to your previous map etc.)
_ sketches of your imagined device and of the maps it will produce (stepped)
_ a prototype of the device (using any material you want or have at your disposal) + a plan (at least an idea!) of how you are going to produce the real one + a schedule of production

Any question?
do not hesitate to post your work in progress.....

Pik and Khim: Mapping Human Form (Improved Map and Statement)

AN EXAMPLE OF A CLOSE-UP CIRCLE

(Please click at the image to see in full view)

Mapping Human Form (For Improved Map)

The map represents a human body visualized as several circles lining down below one another. Measurements of the circles are taken from each part of the body’s circumferences. Newspaper cutouts of multiple eyes are to be placed within each circle.

A survey is carried out on 81 students (41 females, 40 males) of Design I class based on one question: “When you see a woman, which part of the body will you look at first?” The results are taken to construct a pie chart where the amount of eyes mounted on the fraction shows which part gain more views from the students. The part with no views at all will be removed from the map.

The overall map composed of two parts; the left side (pink) shows which part females will notice first on a woman’s body while the right side (blue) shows which part males will notice first.

Human Map

The Human Map

By Alliya and Kanoon

The map expresses two aspects of the human body, the surface area and the depth of the body. The first aspect is presented through newspaper strips. Each strip represents the surface area of a certain part of the body and is laid out flat so that it can be fully viewed. The strips are placed around an outline of a body to show which part of the body the surface area was derived from; each newspaper strip varying in color to further define the part it represents.

The second aspect of the body that the map expresses is the depth. It presents this in the form of a shadowed contour map. The contour map is formed by shining a light from behind layers of newsprint. Each layer is a vertical cross section of the body. One layer represents the body mass at a 3cm internal. The different thickness of the types of paper in each layer causes a variation in the shadow produced, forming a shadowed contour map.

The part with no views will be removed from the map.

hello and welcome!

This will be our group blog for the semester.
It is a fantastic tool - you will be able to post your work here (complete and in progress), receive and make comments, explore links and references etc.
See the one i created last year with the 2nd year (still on this year).
http://whatif-indadesign3-cl.blogspot.com/

From now on, we will not use emails. Instead we will use this blog on a daily basis.
Soon i will add a list of great blogs and websites on the left gadget bar.
Any comment to improve it (or its look) is welcomed!

Might you have problems, here is an help for you.
