Vinyl
Procreate, ZBrush, FormLabs 3D printer, poster paper
Designed a series of black-and-white line drawings of Björk in Procreate, converted the alphas into 3D models in ZBrush. Planned out the composition by pasting the line drawings onto a sample vinyl photo in Procreate, then scaled the 3D models appropriately and printed on a FormLabs resin 3D printer. Manipulated the Post album cover in Procreate to create a vibrant background and printed on poster paper, then attached the decorated vinyl.
Earrings
Procreate, ZBrush, Adobe Dimension, FormLabs 3D printer, metal attachments
Reused one of the black-and-white alphas, overlayed it as a mask on a cylinder in ZBrush, drew in extra lines to fill in gaps. Extracted the mask to create a 3D object and added a torus for metal wire. Experimented with product design in Adobe Dimension, focusing on using a dynamic colour scheme and composition. Printed model on a FormLabs resin 3D printer, attached metal wire.
Accent Lamp
Procreate, ZBrush, MakerBot 3D printer, metal lamp
Reused one of the black-and-white alphas, converted into 3D object in ZBrush and twisted it using the deformation tool. Experimented with shading in ZBrush for future projects. Scaled to size of the lamp and printed on a MakerBot plastic 3D printer. Attached model to lamp with glue.
Wooden Frame
Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, wooden panels, GlowForge laser cutter
Designed three separate layers in procreate, converted into SVG files in Adobe Illustrator to be compatible with GlowForge. Produced a paper prototype, adjusted design, and sent to GlowForge laser cutter to create wooden design. Enhanced depth effect by adding wooden spacers between panels.
Acrylic Frame
Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, acrylic sheets, GlowForge laser cutter
Designed three separate layers in procreate, converted into SVG files in Adobe Illustrator to be compatible with GlowForge. Chose brightly coloured acrylic sheets, and sent to GlowForge laser cutter to create wooden design. Experimented with lighting design to play into the translucency and colour overlay of the acrylic sheets.
