Final Presentation Drawing

I took a more abstract take on the storyboard and showed it from both angles as only one part of my model was dedicated to movement. My orthographic projection portrays the simplicity that lies in the interface and also in the movement. I used the precedent of the jaw to show where the movements derived from, showing the joint itself and how it slides/shifts and the lock the joint sits in, while also showing clenched teeth to show the locked position. Finally in the middle I drew a diagram of how my movement diagrams influenced the shape I took on in my final iterations and final model.

Summary: DSDN111 Project 3

My assigned joint was the Jaw and I went into exploring the hidden aspects of the jaw in terms of how it works structurally in terms of bone structure and muscle movement. I found the the joint bones slide/shift down into a different lock than they originally started. This is the concept I went with the whole way through, working on slide/shift and lock/catch. My final model expresses a fun and simple interpretation of this and I worked heavily on designing the interface to support the simplicity and to encourage the hand-held aspect. I found this project to be the hardest and least forgiving as working with wood leaves no room for error. I really like the idea of layering presentation drawings with vellum and I thinking this broader understanding of materials will benefit my continuation with design.
