Did you Know.....? Wouldn't it be cool if?

            

Did You Know....?  You are not competing against whom you think you....

  I ask you to "do this", you say "why?"

                                        I say "why not.."

                                                 You say "but how" do I 

                                                                  I say that's a " good question, now get started!"

                                                                        

                                                                      

                                               Wouldn't it be cool if you had a pet Elephant.                   

Let's look at the potential of harnessing the creativity, knowledge we developed for different applications....

Additive & Subtractive Manufacturing Technologies

Product Case project

     

Follow the link to the project so you can explore the problem of creating a product case.

FOR TODAY YOU SHOULD:

1) Create a document for the project where you should first; identify the problem statement.  Articulate what you see as the problem.  Be concise and avoid including the parameters in the problem statement.

Create some 2-3 basic sketch ideas before you do your "Research"
  

Think about it this way.  If  your just going on to google to 

find something someone else made, what are you learning? 

 from my perspective.  Nothing.  Create you ideas and refine

 your ideas based upon your research. 

2)Think of a design you would like, can be almost anything think, just think about it then do your best to ketch it out.  Once you have your sketches which should include a few views which should include some of the information that a 3 view, top, front and RT side, as well as an isometric would include.
