Project 1. What is a Clock?

Our first project in INDD 284 was to design a clock that expresses the conceptual nature and form of time itself based on our inspiration.  Then we were to submit our design to an online company called Ponoko, that would cut our design out of our chosen material and send it to us to assemble together.  The concept idea that I chose to stick with for this project was "Time repeats itself."  I found this project difficult because the design idea I had originally thought out was curvy, and there was no way I could make it with flat sheets of material from Ponoko.  I overcame many obstacles on how I could continue my concept idea, but make it workable within the boundaries we were given for this assignment.  Over many changed ideas and frustrations, I finally came up with an idea that would work and that I was proud of.  I am happy with my finished product.  If there was one thing that I learned from doing this project, it would be to make models out of many different materials to see what the design works best with.  Also to never give up.  I stuck through with my concept idea, and I am very happy I did so.

Here is my final presentation:
