Week 12
Final Poster

This is my final poster, introducing an up-coming technology called o-fridge.
Here's what it looks like:

Week 11
Poster




My Idea for the poster was to create a 3d fridge using a program called Maya. I want to use this 3d program because I feel very comfortable with all its functions. I have a facility using this program over Photoshop.
Refrigerators in 2020 will be covered with an o-led pellicule that will allow people to actually write on its surface without the use of a drawing tool. Erasable and light eminent, o-led refrigorators will be handy and very useful. I want to show this in my poster. The fact that this product is green (usage of paper is diminished) and the mess-free environment that every households longs for. I plan on doing a whole kitchen and to re-do my fridge so it actually shows it's multiple functions.

Week 10
Future Technologies

Who doesn’t leave a mess on their refrigerator doors? Pictures, Post-Its filled with appointments, family dinners, soccer games. A refrigerator is an important attribute to a well organized kitchen. People want theirs to be functional and aesthetically pleasing.

In 2020 refrigerators will have a pellicle of Oled material enabling them to light up when wanted. The outer layer of the refrigerator will be covered from top to bottom with an Oled screen. This screen will be able to produce light and will offer a tactile surface to write and leave pictures on. Composed of organic molecules, the light the Oled screen provides is much brighter and crisper than regular sources of light. It also reduces the usage of power and electricity. Oled is a solid-state conductor that takes almost no room at all. Its’ device is 100 to 500 nanometers thick, in other words; very thin. Oled lighting can have two or three layers. The electrons travel from the cathode to the anode through the organic layers. Advantages for using Oleds instead of other conductive materials are many. The organic layers of Oled are much thinner and more flexible than LCD. This will allow an easier manufacturing process for the making of Oled-refrigerators. Each refrigerator will have a switch that will open or close the emitting light. Many patterns will be offered when you buy the product. When tired of seeing a particular effect or design on your refrigerator, you have the chance of changing it, quickly and effectively. Instead of the traditional ‘Post-Its’ most people use to write notes on, individuals will be able to simply write on their fridge and erase it as easily.

I made a 3d refrigerator using Maya 2009. Changing the patterns on the refrigerator you can visualize what they could look like when incorporating an Oled pellicle.

I was inspired by some of these works:

Week 9
Symbols

This project consisted of jotting down daily activities that you do, and sketch them down on paper. You then had to take what you did and make symbols out of them. We had to use, black and white and a color of our choice. I chose a turquoise color.

My symbols: 1) Walking my dog 2) Waiting for the bus 3) Working on my computer 4)Eating with a sibling 5) Going out and dancing

Week 8
Hextronics

Today's class was about energy being distributed though electricity.
Definition: Electricity is the flow of electrical energy through a conductive material.

Current (I) Voltage (V) Resistance (R) Power (W)

Voltage= Current* Resistance
Current= Voltage/Resistance
Resistance= Voltage/Current
Power= Voltage* Current

Conductors: Are materials through which electrical current moves freely (Metal, cooper, silver, gold, wire, aluminum foil, jewelry)

Power sources: -DC (Direct current)
-AC (Alternating current)

We were told that in most buildings spst switches are the most commonly used.Transistors: Are used to amplify an electrical signal

Our assignment was to create an electrical circuit using leds. We were each assigned a letter and we had to find a way to incorporate the lights into our designs.
