WK 6 - Pro Desktop (Drink Bottle)

Today in design Tech. I continued to make progress on my pro desktop objects, and I really did find using the it this time a lot easier. I'm finding myself become more and more familiar with the Pro Desktop software and this has allowed me to do more on pro desktop in the amount of time we're given in class. This lesson I just completed my Drink Bottle and I'm happy with y progress so far. Unfortunatley i wasn't able to save it because i had forgotten my USB, but next lesson i'm sure that i'll be able to recreate the design in no time.

A New Unit... COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN

We've returned back to a familiar unit that we learnt a bit about last year. Pro Desktop is a designing program that allows you to design, create and build digitalized shapes or objects. Its complex to use but once you understand where the general commands are, the rest is pretty much common sense. It's really interesting to see and learn about how each shape is made and so far im enjoying doing the small objects we've been assigned to make in class. Last lesson we worked on making 3 dimensional toy blocks and fimiliarizing ourselves with the commands on the computer program. It was frustrating at first because i found myself constantly having to startv over, but after a while a got a hang of it. I'm looking forward to continuing on with this unit of work.
