FInal BDS 101 Project!

These are the photos of my final project... I really like the way it turned out! I am really glad that I decided to go with this design over the looped design and I'm glad that I tried a new method of attachment. The glue looked messy and this looks a lot cleaner and more precise.

Final Light Process Photos!

This are my process pictures for my final BDS 101 project. I decided on the circle/ pebble looking design with the braided paper. I used hot glue to glue each of the circles on and I used glued on tabs to connect the braids and each different triangle piece.

Accordian Book for "What Language Looks Like"

My Final Accordian Book

I really like the way my book for the group part of this project turned out. I think that this type of book worked really well with the photos and words that we had to include. I wish that the photos would have printed a little bit clearer.

Progress on the Light for the Last Project

My first attempt at my final light...
The braiding and loop-making definitely takes a long time, but I think it will be worth it. I really like the texture in the braids and the three dimensional qualities of the loops.
The gluing is a little bit messy, so I think i will redo it for the final. And I still need to decide between a pyramid and a hanging light. 

Final Location Photos for Project 4

On the bridge between the Union and the Union parking garage- portrays architectural addition, but it was a little too dark because of the shadow cast by the roof of the bridge.

Parking Garage at the Union- Shows the addition of the word itself. It also looks kind of like a math problem in the way it is set up on top of one another. I also like the way the light reflects off of the letters.

Inside the Union parking garage- I really like this location. I think the pictures turned out really well. It portrays two different views of our letters in the same frame, showing the shadow as an addition to our actual letters.

Roof over the stairs to the tunnel over the Union- This place also portrays an architectural addition. this structure is an addition to the building and is also newer than the actual building. This was my personal least favorite location, because I didn't think it portrayed the word as well or as obviously. I like the reflection of the sunlight in this location as well. 

Final Top Three Locations for Project Four

We decided on our top three locations.
Our locations are all at the Union. One is on the bridge connecting the parking garage and the actual union building. This would portray the definition in the architectural sense.
Another is the parking garage. From the side, we could place our letters on each ledge spelling out "add" "it" and"ion" to show the addition of the word to create the entire word. There are also opportunities for good shadows in the parking garage.
The third location is the bus stop/ stairs to the tunnel. This serves as another example of the architectural meaning of the word. It is also a more dramatic and easily seen place for our letters.
