Assignment description
I had to design a perfume bottle that includes both curvilinear and rectilinear forms using material such as wood, metal and plastic. The bottle should be a 200ml perfume bottle.
Self reflection
I found this assignment very exiting because I was able to modernize and Egyptian product., but I has problems creating volumetric forms, so I fixed this issue in the redo.
Feedback
The perfume is not volumetric
Design process
First, I used acrylic and shaped them in a curvilinear from and stacked them above each other. My issue was that the perfume was not volumetric, so I decided to redo this assignment and create three volumetric forms that are folded out of paper and glued them on to each other.

Assignment description
I have to create a short movie that is 30 seconds long using the stop motion technique. The camera should be repeatedly stopped and started.

The video should be taken from another angle in order for it to appear 3D
Self reflection
I should have taken different shots from different angles to make it appear 3D

Assignment description
I should use any planar material and create a flower that has a minimum height of 1.5m. The composition should be volumetric.
Assignment 6 Flower power
Feedback
The flower is good and volumetric, but the stem is not good.
Self reflection
This assignment was different since it was a very large scale, and the large scale made it difficult form the to create a fitting stem.
Design process
I used the origami method and folded a large a paper into a tulip looking flower and added wood as a stem and paper as leaves.
