Shark Tale Thingymabob

This is a composite picture of a happy meal toy that I got from checkers, I think. I have seen something like this before (I don't even know what to call it) a while ago and I think is finally catching on. The cubes are connected to eachother, but only on certain sides, so that you can move them and flip them around and it forms a different picture on each side. The picture can be horizontal and flat, or when in cube form, there is a different square picture on each side. They are stills from the movie Shark Tale, and the cube is advertising the movie on DVD and in stores now. The only bad thing about it is if there is a picture put together on one side, there may not be a full picture on the other side. And once you view all the pictures, you get bored.

Rubiks Cube: More fun than a barrell of monkeys!

I chose this rubiks cube because I think it is a great 3 dimensional educational toy. It makes the user think about their next steps and actions. The construction of it is also very well thought through. It rotates on a central axis and it is easy to move. It cannot be taken apart and it doesn't have small parts so it is safe for younger kids to be around. A way that this could improve is having each individual cube be a different color of plastic on each side, instead of using stickers, that way nobody can cheat and take off the stickers and put them back on the right way. They should produce the same type of things but in different shapes, like rubiks circle, octagon, triangle, rectangle, etc.

I just like it (coloring, layout…).

Dagger

I picked this dagger, because I thought it had a creative look to it.

FORM AND SPACE - 3D weekly find

Weekly Find – week #1 – Change Purse Artwork in Melbourne

Ok, so our first project is to create any object we would like but we need to carve it out of floral foam. I have chosen to make a change purse and while I was researching I stumbled across this huge sculpture and thought I would use it form my 3D weekly find. I found this while doing a Google search, nothing but I guess someone’s pictures from a vacation. Not quite sure. users.aber.ac.uk, this is the link it was attached to. I think it is really interesting that someone would think to create what looks like a huge marble change purse. The construction of this object seems to be seamless. At first looking at it on the internet as a thumbnail I wasn’t quite able to make out how large this was, and then when I expanded it to full size it really grabbed my attention. At first it just looked like a change purse, I wonder how the metal for the seal was developed. Anyway it’s a pretty cool idea to me, hope I get the opportunity one day to make a conversation piece such as this.

Out of the Norm

I have been taking perscriptions for many years. The orange bottle that lives in my cabinet is like a monster that is going to attack. There is no real way to tell which medication is which or who's it is. When Target introduced their perscription bottles. Not only are they the standard Target red. it also can have colored rings on the bottle to help know who's it is. With the triangle bottle shape, it allows for stacking of the bottles in a drawer or cabinet. I know it is not an important thing to some. To people that take medications everyday it is great.

I found this 3 dimensional design very ineresting because of how it is shaped and how the light reflects off of it. When I look at the object at first I get frusterated because I want it to be a perfect spear. But after looking at it for a while, the oddness of it startes to appeal to me. I like how the object looks solid but if you look hard enough you can tell that it is very fragile because you can see the other side of it cause it is transparent. Another thing that I like about this object is the colors used on it. It really makes it stand out and look very modern. It also in a way gives the object a guide to follow. The images make your eyes move to the top and I find that really ineresting. All together I find this object ineresting because at first you want to find ways to fix it and make it perfect but after looking at it you then realize that by fixing it you take away from it.

FORM & SPACE

Peppers may be present every day of our lives and some of us don’t even notice them. I was searching through mi kitchen trying to find a fruit and vegetables that would amaze me. I skipped lots of them including the pepper because I thought it was so common. But then I went back and took a better look at it. I put it on a white table and started to analyze it and notice its beauty.
Its red vivid color really impacted me. I was amazed to see how nature could create such beautiful color. The contrast of the green on top of it was also amazing. Both colors make a great unity but enhancement as well. Also I saw some little white lines that broke the red color into little pieces. I loved this effect.
The form and shape of it was something else I really enjoyed exploring. The different textures I found, smooth red, crispy white etc. I really enjoyed touching the pepper for a long time. After a while, I explored many places where I could put it so it would look weird and different. I loved the way it looked hanging form this rope. It looked so rare but somehow to me it seemed like it belonged there. This experience helped me to not live life without looking but instead, enjoy every bit of nature and find the beauty in what seems so common.

Rapid Viz : Popup-Blocker

I was watching a kid play Wack-a-mole this weekend, and for some reason I related it to a pop-up blocker.

3D Find: Form and Space

For some reason I can only get this picture o upload sideways. This is a lamp that I got a picture of at work. I have been to this house many times and this lamp always catches my eye. It is a very dynamic shape and makes your eye want to follow it all around. I enjoy that something as simple as a lamp can be transformed into such an interesting piece of art.

3D Find: Form and Space

This is a bookend I took a photo of at work. I found this interesting because while I have seen many bookends in many different shapes, I have never seen one shaped like an elephant or any other kind of circus animal for that matter ;)

I enjoyed the fact that the designer chose such an interesting pose for the elephant instead of just a normal standing position. While you would icture a bookend as a very static image, this one is very dynamic.

"Lust" for Form & Space

From: Chasity Burg

This is one of the seven deadly sins, “Lust.”

I just like the creative realism that the artist

placed within it.
