Object Design by Joey Big Snake

 For the first milestone project, I really honed my idea down in the second week. There was an intention, but I didn't really follow it too strictly. The QR code idea was something I wanted to explore for sure, as it felt really interesting for me to investigate how the patterns may fit together. How I would end up with my final product was just me eventually going with the flow and feeling out what was right for the design.   In our conversation about the designs, I'm heading in the right direction with how I am approaching my project. Got feedback on what colors I was going to use, I wanted to use either electronic colors (greens, blues, very matrixy) or warm earthy colors that resemble more the Pendleton designs. Warmer colors are what was recommended and I think I will give it a shot with all different types of warm colors, maybe one with the blues. In my final product, it ended a lot more monotone. I ended going with this because I felt there was something really co...

 First Week For the first week, I kinda already knew what my Idea was. I guess the hard part was what I'm going to take pictures of and pull inspiration from. throughout the week I took a lot of pics but it pretty hard to find the right ones. I think until I started thinking more about the digital part of my project. I had to really look at patterns because the part that interested me the most, especially the Pendleton/"native" designs. My pics and research are below. In my research, I'm trying to find ways I can mix ideas of cultural art, clothing and tradition, with ideas of geometric art and the new technology. The way I explored that was through a QR code and mixing Pendleton sort of geometric design with it. More on my notes below (sorry they are a bit messy).

 Makin' the castle:        The castle seemed a bit tricky at first until I figured out more of what the tools do and how they work. I looked on YouTube for some tips making the wall around the castle. My idea was to make the walls have bricks at the top. I ended up found a video on making gears that showed me the how to work the ARRAY and OFFSET command on a basic level. I also messed around with the BOOLEAN SEPARATION to create the four windows on the tower, just applying what I know from Blender and Cura.       I had a lot of fun though working on the castle, it never felt too confusing trying to navigate the Rhino program or figuring out the tools (alright some tools are still a bit odd to me). Here is some screenshots of my end reslult:
