PROCESS BOOK START

As the first part of our process book we were told to write a response on the design project as a whole. This project challenged me. Never before have I done so many different different sketches on one subject. I dont think i am alone is saying that I began to get fed up with drawing the same object over and over. It was tedious to say the least, but I can see the value of the intense designing. After taking hours and hours to study my object, a skateboard truck i found a couple different things. the first being that after so much study of one single object i could draw it in my sleep. i know where to put each line and how to depict the shadows. I think the concept of studying one single object taught me the value of focusing. I believe the same might be true for any object, so studying helps rendering. Second I found that by forcing myself to continue looking at my project I began to see it in new ways. the quantity of different sketches helped me to find new ways to represent my original idea. I was forced to step outside of my comfort zone and develop new alternative means of creating. I can now see that the project as a whole has challenged my abilities and my creative mind. It has forced me to expand my horizons  and taught me how to look for new ways of representation in the future.
