Reflection on Pin Up

There was much focus on diagrammatic representation and general analysis on the body movements. I agree with both comments, in that the diagrams could have had more variety. Instead of just the generic representations. I also feel like the analysis on the body diagrams were not dynamic enough. They all look very similar and contain the same element of analysis. Although, in my defense, I do feel that using similar techniques to represent an analysis only puts emphasis on the analysis. I believe if I were to vigorously analyze the body diagrams in the same way, but with intensity, the outcome would make a greater difference.

I think a failure in my part was the clarity in my presentation. I focused more on the process of the entire design, instead of the actual outcome. Not only that, my actual presentation was sloppy, which could have possibly led to misunderstandings in my overall design and intentions. As for my next project, I believe I will put more thought in my diagrammatic representations to coherently show my intentions. I will also make changes to my final model with the critique in mind.

Midterm Pin Up

Reflection on Pin Up

1.            Reflect on the pin-up for this week: Post all the images / models included in your pin up. Layout your images as in the pin up.

               I think the most successful part of the pin up was how straightforward my idea was. The fact that is was simple and clear, it made it easy for people to understand, even though my actual presentation did not go as smoothly. I liked the positive reaction from Professor Fraser and I will keep in mind to keep future projects just as straightforward. I thought a failure in my part was the actual model. Models are great representations of work, but I kind of botched it up by scaling it wrong. My model ended up smaller than I expected. The 3D Virtual Casting did not show all the information I wanted, which I can improve in the future by creating better diagrams.

2.            Reflect on your presentation: How did you structure it? How successful do you think it was? What was your overarching focus? How was it received? What kind of feedback did you receive? List one of the best questions or comments you received or that someone else received. 

               I structured it in the steps that I performed in the actual work. Such that the synthetic axons belonged in one set, while the 3D Virtual Casting were in their own set. We first presented the body diagrams, then the synthetic drawing set, and finally the 3D Virtual Casting set. I thought this was clear because it was exactly how I transitioned in between work.

3.            What are your next steps based on your feedback and your new assignment? What new discoveries have you made in your work?

               My next step would be to think through my analysis for my next project. I have discovered that I like exploring enclosures. I think that will be a nice idea to thrive from for assignment 3.2. I have also learned that forms of analysis is not only forms of discoveries that we make as individuals, but also an interpretation that we must try to have others understand.
