Drawings  These are the concept ideas that were drawn in class as homework. The focus is displaying ties and then incorporating the words crop circles, cocoon, and swoosh as concepts when generating the drawings. For each concept word there are 3 drawings that relate to it and is labeled at the top of the drawings.                                                                                                                                                           In class drawing exercise.

When walking around the mall I spotted a structure from across the way. There was this tall elegant sculpture that was lighted from all angles so of course my curious soul brought me closer.

This post contains inspiration photos used generate ideas to aid in designing my kiosk.  ...

Kiosk Case Study             What is a Kiosk? A kiosk is defined as being a small open front cube that sells newspapers, refreshments, tickets, etc. It is also a place in public that provides a place to display information or advertisements and are usually in the form of an interactive touchscreen. I have searched far and wide across the web to bring a few retail kiosks that I think are interesting. This is a robotic kiosk called TeaBOT it allows customers to choose their blend of loose teas. The customer can use either the touchscreen or their phones to create what they want. Then the machine produces the tea within minutes. So the necessary components of this kiosk is that the touchscreen works and that the tea is stocked and there is power to operate. I think the wood chosen reflects the brand they are going for with which is earthy. I think this is innovative especially since more people these days are more in...
