Fluid Form
Object shows flowing motion with the use of cutting strips through the plastic sheet material. The repeating of the bends (curves) formed by the tension on the material, are visually appealing. They in able the viewers eye to travel smoothly around the form. Created from one flat sheet, layered and twisted. Fluid form shown like water ripples by shadows. The form is attached, fix together with a single sewing pin. Using the pin in able me to layer the plastic so it could move into its natural form.

Form was developed over many trials and errors. Starting with cutting slits in paper and then layering up the corners, this constructed a wave like shape with one large curve followed by a smaller curve. When using the same method but with the use of the sheet of plastic a very different form was produced because of the strength and the restricted flexibility of the plastic. This ended up creating a more smooth, following fluid form, which meant the form was showing the specification that were in my brief.

Vlog This vlog is on the process on using Google Maps. I found it difficult to do as I had to talk, film and type at the same time. I think it shows the process well and how easy it is.

Review
There is some amazing work being achieved by first year design student. Some of my favourites were
Matt's watercolour piece were used a graffiti style in his work, he pushed the limits of the brief and his work looked amazing.
Leah has a beautiful photo of her model for the fluid form project. It captures a seamless interior space.
Tawa created a very abstract, original fluid form out of a wire frame, which he placed into a bubble solution. The bubble solution captures the light in the photo brilliantly.
Victoria showed her seventh form photography boards which was great to see as I love photography. Her boards had a office theme, were she photographed everyday office stationary in a beautiful way.
Dan created an clip for Victoria Design School. It used fantastic music and showed amazing photoshop skills.
Naylin took a fantastic photograph using light to wright the word expose. It shows great composition.

Its great to be able to see other design students work and comment on it. Also receiving comments on my own work improves confidence and is very helpful to understand how others perceive my work.
