A02 Final

In this updated version of my presentation I worked to make the composition a bit more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing.  I started by making some text a smaller font and a gray color so it does not distract from the drawings.  I removed some irrelevant site information from the first page and put in a selection of images from previous schemes to help show my train of thought throughout the process.  

Overall, I was satisfied with my work and had a lot of fun, in particular, creating my in-site rendering.  I was able to make my process and design intentions very clear without adding too many images or filler.  Some things I would change, would be to change a couple things in the design itself, particularly in articulating some of my joints a bit better to show how the surfaces flow into each other, creating a more cohesive structure.

This project was a bit of a challenge, but after a good bit of experimenting I was able to come up with 3 schemes that I felt were successful in using a singular surface to create a space using a simple gesture.  These schemes are still in a very simple phase, and could be fleshed out a bit more, which is what we'll be doing in the next step of this project.

This project was a great step for me in learning to manipulate masses in Rhino, and more importantly, how to organize and layout graphics in Adobe Illustrator to make them easy to read and nicer to look at.  In creation of the form, it started out pretty simple and clear, but around step 10 it started becoming a bit complicated, and I feel my main flaw in the project was making a series of boolean differences and shapes that were too complex in it's cut and curved shapes that it did not translate very well into 2d.  If I were to redo this project I would keep my shape a bit more stable and easy to work with.

On my first layout the final orthographics started to blend in too much with the process, so I adjusted the size of the finals to make them bigger and more eye catching than the process, as the final forms were what I wanted people to look at the most.  I also adjusted the outer line weights of the shapes to make them stand out more against the white background.  Originally, I denoted the changes in my process as grey, but later changed it to blue to make it more eye catching and clear as to what was being added or removed from the form.  I tried adding lines to to separate process from the final forms and title, but this division was very distracting and unnecessary, so I instead creating a more free-flowing composition without borders where the difference in sections was still easily differentiated by size and text.
