DSDN 171 Blog 2 - The continuing curve

This here is the 2005 Maybach Exelero Show Car, I'd never even heard of it until I stumbled upon it on a friends blog. I think that this is a perfect example of a modern take on the sensuality of a curve in design. Although it leaves the car looking slightly sleazy, the curves are attractive and in my opinion very sensuous. What also surprised me about this car is that it's the only decent looking car I've seen made after the year 2000, damn car designers these days.... But anyway, it offers exactly the remix's take on the sensuous impulse. unlike curves from the Rococo or the Art Noveu periods, it is very refrained, thus keeping a lot of masculinity and practicality, while being very attractive on the eye.

Good job to whoever designed this car, I say.

DSDN 171 first post

Inspiring piece of design.

I would have to say that I quite like the Rubik's cube.  Invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik, the rubik's cube provided people of all ages with a problem solving challenge. Sure nowadays people lubricate them and see who can solve them the fastest, which in my opinion is a little strange. But the idea of a 3D puzzle like the Rubik's Cube, would have been quite revolutionary at the time. It is appealing to the eye, with bright and strong colours and if you give it to a child, you're really helping devolop their problem solving skills.  There's really not much more to say about it, except that I never solved one.

Connor Turnbull DSDN 111 Project 1

Connor Turnbull test DSDN 101 part 1

I'm pretty sure we were supposed to put our hatch pictures up, so here's a couple of pics of what I'm working on

This is just the thing I created for draw in 101. I've also done an elevation, section and so on. It's a combination of my headphones (drawn as they are) attached to a refreshed version of my camera. Have done better iterations of it.

Hmm, I keep getting this server error when I try to upload pictures. So I'll try again later on when I have better scans of updated work.

Work on Project 1 thus far (exercises one and two)

First of all, I'll post my progress on  exercise one, identity.
I've still got a lot of work to do here, and am thinking of making a circle with my computer mouse in the centre to give the work a more interesting appearence.

 ... Well currently it's saying "Server rejected." So I'll upload my pictures when I get home.

Oh, annd I've not started on typography as I'm still trying to find where the template for it is.

Welcome to Cellar Door

Well, welcome to my first year design course blog. I dunno if I'll change it next year or anything, but I guess we'll find out then. None of that matters anyway, I'm just chucking this post on here so that my blog isn't empty and I can see what posts look like, and make any necessary changes.The name Cellar Door comes from it being the phrase Edgar Allen Poe thought to be the most beautiful phrase in the English language and I always thought that was a cool little fact.

This here is the original picture I took of my keyboard before shopping it for my title. Hardly a good photoshop job, but yeah, what can I say? I've still got a lot to learn.

My name is Connor, by the way.
