DSDN 111 Project 3: The Joint Summary
My form is based on the ankle joint and consists of four actions when the handle is turned; the rotation of the crank shaft which slides guides along the inside of the arm which the pivot on an axis creating a shift in the final position of the end of the arm.
I created the final form out of bass wood which was shaped ergonomically. This allowed it to fit in the user’s left hand so the handle with finger groves could be easily operated with the right hand.
To harmonize with the curved shape of the ergonomic base I also curved all straight edges within the design. This created a unified design as none of the shapes or forms within the design contrasted.
The development process allowed me to critically analyse my design and allowed me to create and explore solutions to previous incarnations of the design which was helpful and allowed the final form to refined further which was beneficial to its final form.

Summary
My final design model has been inspired by the movement and flow of a cape, forming a basic triangular shape where the top point connects with the neck and shoulders to the spreading its spreading out as it flows out. I used this image (of batman’s cape in particular) to inspire the dynamic visual movement I wanted my model to replicate. This visual transition is then complemented by the application of materials to my shape I used a simple length of wire to hold the planes of the curves in place. This wire was bent into a shape which followed the shape of these planes complementing them and allowing harmony between line and plane within the model. The thread connections holding the curved planes, which consist of rhino plastic, where chosen as they allowed the planes to overlap easily and held them in place. This allowed the planes to form a rigid curved shape that plays with figure ground and light that permeates through the layered semi translucent rhino plastic.
Overall, the final model which shifts from a large area to a point works well. I was enjoyable to make because although I was working with a relativity simple form and idea the craft involved in order to achieve that took time.
