Sean Johnson: Week 13 Geometric Unfolding

Well, you said all we needed for this post was a picture of the end result sooooo...yeah. Here ya go.

Brian Chancellor: Week 13: Geometric Unfolding 101

For this project I really wanted to play with the negative space and the shapes I could cut into the cardboard faces.  I really dove into Illustrator and my main inspiration for this practice piece was the various tools in Illustrator.  I have not had much practice and I more or less played around with the various functions until I found something I liked that worked well with the cardboard.  Below you can see my cutout and since this was printed directly from the Illustrator file, I have no 3D Rhino model or keyshot model to show.

For my geometric unfolding, I chose to make a twisted triangular prism. I liked the shape of it because it looked impossible from certain angles. The impossibility sort of loosely ties into Doctor Who, (in which basically everything is impossible. This was even more apparent when I tried to put it together and I had no idea what to do.
