LED Desk Lamp

A message from Gerry Irrizary himself:

“In Design Studio, we develop our aesthetic sophistication and digital craftsmanship related to the maker mindset of mindset of creating something out of nothing. Our class explores technological-human interaction to convey meaning in the form of physical installations and interactive objects. This includes designing cardboard sculptures, pop-up cards, handmade paper, photo & image transfers, screen printing t-shirts, sewing, soldering and woodworking for signs and desk lamps. At times we integrate our academic studies (Science, Math, etc.) into the development of substantive works using our makerspace’s high-tech, low-tech and no-tech.”

Making woodcuts and cutting wood is pretty hard but it gets easy as you get used to the tools and start trusting it, as well as having great safety while using it. Cutting the wood in the middle was pretty fast but if you do it too fast the machine gets stuck inside the wood and breaks. Same applies for the acrylic pieces. But for the acrylic going too fast would melt the acrylic into the machine and would eventually shatter the piece. But going too slow would be doing nothing. For this project, we will make a LED Lamp, this lamp consists of 1 solid wood, 3 cut wood and 3 acrylic pieces. And the purpose was to be creative and make a lamp that would stand still while learning how to use the power tools.

Define

In order for the parts and pieces to be put together the materials need to be crafted to a certain degree to use. each piece was 8 inch long and 8 inch wide. And the center was cut with a power hand drill. And the bottom piece of the lamp would be cut into a smaller circle in the middle which is made of would so that the light would be wrapped around a peg which would be glued by gorilla glue. I have also used to band saw which was a bigger hand saw used to cut my lamp into piece. I have also used table clamps for holding the wood and acrylic in place so I wont hit my neighbor accidentally. Some safety hazards was goggles to protect eyes, apron to not get dirty and face mask to not inhale wood and other smells.

Design

The Hexagon Lamp is more likely to be more successful because it is easier to cut with band saw or jigsaw puzzle if wanted. And then smoothing the wood out.

Develop 

Materials needed for this project was 1 solid wood, 3 cut wood and 3 acrylic pieces, band saw, gorilla glue, table clamps, horizontal sander, small peg led lights with cord and pencil. Final coat was polyester oil finish. No problems with my project. 

Deliver 

My projects meets all requirements stated above. I like how my project is. I don’t want to change anything about it except that I should have added a thicker layer of polyester so that dust doesn’t get stuck on top.

Discover

I learned that using construction line as a learning technique helps construct the letter and it would help me get creative and show what I learned in this unit about sans serif sans serif. I learned how to use the sanding tool and many other tools. The drawing of the circles guide helped me draw the serifs more accurately. Requirements are the following: It had to be a range of techniques in the sculpture, can not exceed 8 inches wood. Use less solder because we were low on it and it was expensive.

Define

Tools I needed during my project was the following: Soldering iron, wood burning pen, trim router, Orbital sanders, paint, paint brush, air intake.

Design

I have chosen my third design because the design is pretty sleek with the natural mark of the wood. The factor that helped me mostly most was the rounding of the letter.

Develop

The safety hazards and precautions is using the tools were to use goggles and a face mask and a smock (soldering, sanding and routing). As I have went through the project I have not met any problems.

Deliver

The designs of my project met my requirements and it implements inlay aspects, I have used and learned how to use powered tools, like a orbital sander, router, and a burning pen.

 

Type Sculpture Project

 

A message from Gerry Irrizary himself:

Discover

I learned that in typography there are different ways to represent and show a letter. There are serif and sans serif. I learned the font families as well. This includes serif, sans serif and strokes. Emphasis. Certain areas when making the structure, I would emphasis certain areas to make a person look more there by making it look different from the other areas of the structure. I have used sans serif and it is without any feet. I have used sans serif and used letter B to show my mastery in the type sculpture project.

Define

Structure of sculpture and aesthetics are the areas where we are being graded on. Materials I have used are: Mosh posh, cardboard, newspaper magazines, scissors. Some constraints are: The time to work on the assignment, amount of mosh posh used and length of the letter.

Design

The design I was most likely to use was the 3D VR Gear one because we have enough materials and I can see it happening as an artist.

Develop

During making my model I had no challenges in design only problem was mosh poshing because the newspaper were rough and didn’t want to stick to cardboard in 2nd layer of mosh posh.

Deliver

My model meets all requirements, measurements are equal, can be used as a VR Gear and you can see through it. Newspaper does not stick out as well.A change I could have done is that I should have made the headband for the VR gear more universal, added a velcro so more people can wear the VR Gear.

Written Plan For Final mightlike.py

For the final me and my partner have conversed about this matter and came to a consensus  that before combining each of us needs to comment our sides of the code and revise it for any mistakes. And right before this latest version, my partner Justin ran into another problem with the back end with the restarting loop. the objective after completing all the match making never turned false. We later on conversed with Mr. Lev and found that we need to include the top part of the function saying the objective variable is once again false. In addition,  when ending the  program we found that clicking any other characters or numbers can automatically re run the code, so we later on said enter anything else besides “n” and it will re run the code. Next we will run code again several times to see more errors if there are. And if error free, we would clean out the program codes for any unnecessary lines of code.

What happens in each version?

Version 5

If at the end there were no matches, program picks out a random song from the song library. If there at the end there was a final match, presents to user, no surprise, which uses the random function. If at end there were more than one match, program randomly selects a song and presents to user, using the random function.

Version 6

We have included the restart function within the program to give the user an option if they want more song recommendations or not. In version 6, we have included one big loop from the front end to the back end. The problem with this version was that there was no way to get out of the program, it just keeps running and running again. The only way to get out of the loop was to get a single match. If there were no matches or more than one match it would keep running over and over.

Version 7

We have excluded the 4 small loops nested within the big loop for restarting the program. But the variable objective stayed and was still false. There are two ways to get out of the loop, one being one perfect match and running through the matching process which opens the exit door for the program. Once it opens it would be able to get to the final matching process, randomly selecting if needed.

Functions used in these versions: randint, print, append, abs, len, int, str, value error

Data: Midpoint Status Report

What is going on so far in the code?

So far as we are completing our four to five versions, in front and back end, we have completed the front end. One common problem that occurred for the front and back end was the raw data. One of our comrades took their time off and cleaned the data later on for us. For example, for genre someone put “hip pop” or someone put special characters for certain fields. The computer can read normal characters. The front end did have some problems. One problem that occurred was that when converting the integers to strings one of the genres had “-“, this was hip hop and the data was cleaned for only hip hop. So that was one problem in front end. A problem that occurred in the back end was using a single variable “prevList” and “prevLname”. I have gotten confused as to which areas go back to songLib and which areas go back to the previous element matches.

And whats my plant to finish off the code?

To finish off the code, we decided to include a while loop in order to ask the user if they want to be recommended another song. Also we will also need a while loop for the element match making when adding the restart function. Additionally, we are planning to include comments on both sides of the code after done. Cleaning off both sides of the code and combining them. Before submitting and calling the code final, we will test the program for any errors and mistakes we have done or haven’t seen.

What is a song and why are people attracted to songs?

A song is a length of time which includes forms of expressing your inner self. People are attracted to songs and music because it gets them going and moving. This sounds very cliche but this reason resides with most people. People have their own unique nature. You nature could be calm and you could reside mostly with tranquility songs or classic songs. For example, a extrovert, curious, hardworking individual could like hip hop including rap. Another example is, a person that is depressed may like to either listen to sad music or uplifting music to fill in their mellow hearts.

A good music consists of the artists wrapped emotions and a nice mood towards it. Many songs include any of the following components: lyrics, rhythm,  tempo, artist, instruments, title, and mood

2. A performer is the person who sings most of the song or known as the artist. This will be a regular unrestricted string for a response. Example: Chain smokers
3. A genre is a category which the song is placed under based on style of artist composition. This will be a restricted integer with multiple choice answers. The multiple choice user answer will later be converted to the genre word. The loop used here is the while loop. The integer range will be 1 to 15.

• A sub-genre is a category that falls under genre to narrow down the deeper category of the style and composition of the artist. This will be an unrestricted string. Example: Dance
• A primary instrument is the instrument you mostly hear within a song. This will be coded in as an unrestricted string. Example: Guitar
• Lyrics are the words of a song that are spoken in many languages. This will be coded in as an integer field from 1 to 10. 1 being the song doesn’t require lyrics in the song and 10 being the lyrics are very important of the song. The loop used here is the while loop.
• Bass of the song is how much the song has a rumble to it in a rhythm.  This will be an integer field from 1 to 10. 1 being the song has little rumble rhythm or any rhythm where as 10 is the song has a lot of rumbling rhythm and requires a lot of rhythm. The loop used here is the while loop.
• A tempo is the speed of a song according to the subject of what makes a song. This will be coded in as an integer from 1 to 10. 1 being the song is slow and steady where as 10 is the song is really fast. And will have restricted integer. The loop used here is the while loop.
• Feeling are the emotional mood that is displayed towards the audience, this will be coded in as a restricted integer. This will be a restricted integer with multiple choice answers. The field will be 1 to 13.  The multiple choice user answer will later be converted to the feeling.

What is a software developer?

A software developer is the person that makes your games you play on your free time ex. temple run, Tetris. A software developer is also the person that makes operating systems like IOS, android, windows and etc.  Software developers makes dreams, ideas come true. But this is not easy. You must go through a lot of processes in order to get your creation out there. From flow charts to schematics to developing to testing. It is pretty difficult.

All of the software developers have to go through the design thinking process, this consists of discover, define, design, develop, deliver. And this is installed automatically as you enter into the Urban Assembly Maker Academy. We practice this process in our everyday life, so we can get adjusted to it and be comfortable with it.
