Project #1 Lost and Found

Description

Xintong's lost object: It was a gift from her host family a few years ago. It was a silver bangle. There was a circular charm attached to it with the word "family" engraved on it.

Design Process

I mainly just used ellipses and circles in this project. I didn’t want the whole thing to be plain grey so I used different tones of greys and white to show the reflection and shadow of the silver.

Reflection

The description given to me were pretty simple and straightforward. I immediately had the picture of the lost object in my head as my partner described it. Because the object itself was pretty straightforward, I dived directly into coding instead of sketching out the object on a piece of paper first. However, as I was coding, I realized that it is not a simple task as it appears to be. The object was simple because it was given to me and there were no complex shapes, but the entire object is silver which is a pretty hard color to show, especially using only codes. It took me a whole to figure out how to layer different shapes and colors to best present the silver color. It was much harder to produce a picture using codes but it was definitely a lot of fun.
