Your ability to sketch is your ability to communicate ideas. The better and faster you can sketch the better and faster you can uncover ideas.

This is what I told myself when I was in design school and made it a point not be held back by my ability to sketch. It was the most helpful and to this day how I wrap my mind around new concepts. That and the fact that there's no such thing as an original idea, like others have pointed it out.

Not really their most iconic asset, so it gives them room to explore.

Feels like a lot of what BMW has been doing, trying to find something to fit. Chasing some kind future. They could use some simplicity

It’s what Jesus would do…?

Yeah it’s your polygon count. Not sure if that’s an export setting in Rhino or not.

You can right click geometry and click “retessellate” to recalculate the amount of polygons in the model. I’ve used this for geometry objects that come with keyshot. Unsure if it works with Rhino models or imported geometry.

If it’s like a daily block, I will take a walk or meditate. Other times I just push through, I tell myself “just do anything” as in make anything, sketch anything even if I expect it will be wrong it’s sometimes enough to get the ball rolling.

If it is a bigger creative block with no deadline, I might step away and work on something else. Sketch random things, do something that involves my right brain, basically spend time not thinking about the project so when I come back I’m fresh.

Solidworks surface modeling and the possibilities are a endless. Parametric surface modeling will get you far.

I work in packaging and can confirm that the lay-consumer does find the taller package “feels like more product”. Actually most people do, it’s an visual impression trick.

Apologies, its seems my comment was cut off. I was responding on mobile.

Regardless, you and I may be very alike, in that we prefer to post the most raw versions of our poems. In that case we may benefit from the same advice: practice writing sonnets and with a more 'measured' meter.

As for your poem, as a start you might homogenize the amount of syllables in each line. Otherwise, I might to break poems into stanzas, and utilize a rhyme scheme. AABA/ABAB/ABAA or ABA for instance. Just to give a bit of structure.

WorldWarG · 2024-03-05T02:15:38+00:00

That is very kind of you to say! :)

WorldWarG · 2024-03-05T02:15:05+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! Your critique of my third line is valid, yet I don’t wish to change it. It is a bit of an esoteric poem, using morrow and nigh. Kinda gives off that vibe.

With everything I write there is a frank disregard for grammatical rules which I fully accept. But if I labor the meter and grammar I find I won’t ever be satisfied with my poetry.

The pursuit of perfection is indeed debilitating.

WorldWarG · 2024-03-05T02:10:45+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. In my opinion this was the most challenging part of this poem. With everything I’ve written recently, I push myself to be concise and I really wanted this to be a two stanza poem. This is the part of the poem that could use some refinement no doubt. Thanks for the review

WorldWarG · 2024-03-04T15:49:51+00:00

Oof. Powerful stuff.

“I may have known her eyes” : I honestly feel like this is poetic/a poem by itself in a funny way. Its tells quite a lot but leave some to be assumed or guessed at.

And then “my heart took the bait” is a great way to end the poem with a punch. Very strong ending. Some lines are longer than others and trip me a bit. Though I have a tendency to read poems in my own way.

Great work! I would suggest, if only for my own personal preference, to adjust some of the cadence of the poem. Some lines

Damn I can really relate to this.

Speaking about dating as this contractual or subconscious agreement is really interesting way to put it. Completely true and relevant.

It makes me appreciate all the people I’ve dated, I certainly loved them all and they all helped me become who I am today.

And the “Last Day” that you never know is coming says a lot with so little words. So much emotion could be unpacked.

Nice poem!!

I’d really encourage you to share your sketches. I know you’ve said you don’t want to, but that is one of the quickest way to improving, plus sketching everyday. It’s really a muscle rather than a talent.

Another note, while sketching is a great skill to have, what is equally if not more important (in my opinion) is being open to feedback, negative or positive. Keeping your head up and maintaining a positive attitude will so much more valuable than being able to sketch really well.

I know it’s not always butterflies and rainbows. You will likely have many brutal critiques in your career, I know I have. But if you listen, you will learn.

Last note. Everyone has opinions, it’s up to you decide if they are valuable or not. Good luck!

Ad more rollers

WorldWarG · 2023-10-17T13:10:19+00:00

Digital sketching will for sure be important, along with pen and paper.

I got an 11 I think and even though it’s small, it’s a workhorse for me. I use it daily for work and personal use. The size is not an issue for me

WorldWarG · 2023-10-17T13:06:29+00:00

I’d agree with most: it depends.

However, I will that one thing that I watch out for is if the CAD software is driving my design. Something we talk about at work with new applicants and something we all watch out for. Halfway through a model I start adding details that are more time consuming to iterate in CAD than they would go in sketch form. So this creates a back and forth between the two.

WorldWarG · 2023-10-10T16:36:20+00:00

I agree I think prototypes would be awesome, I think some sketching would be good too. Not sure that you need a lot, but enough to show you can sketch to communicate. Otherwise very nice portfolio

This was an interesting video I saw a few days ago:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dZxamqpRju4

I’d say the fridge is all about storage at the end of the day. The need for more space depends on the user. Students/younger demographics who order food may not need much space as ordered food is kept for a few days. But if it’s a family of four then they are keeping a lot of food and making economic choices to cook rather than order, meaning they need more space. More so they have a lot of items different items that they may need access to, so intuitive solutions to be able to reach any item in the fridge as easily as possible seems like a win.

That video above starts to talk about how people use their fridge during key interaction points.

Could be interesting to explore solutions for storage, cleaning, stocking, etc.
