The Fluidform

Gidday, Welcome to my first bloggage on the interweb.I've been asked to write a little piece about a project I worked on in June of 2008 as part of my design degree at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand.

For this project I first sketched various forms letting the ink flow fast and loose to achieve the fluidity needed then moved on to constructing a number of experimental models all the while moving toward the final one which I think ended up uncomplicated but extremely beautiful showing depth and texture as well.

Love the materiality here; cracking and creasing gives real texture to the model.

Funny how you spent all that time with polyprop but in the end the card came out looking great because of the very qualities that put it in the "Mock-up Material" section for many people.

Great Photo, Great Model.
