WORD STATUE TASK

DESCRIPTION

For this task, you will create your own statue out of text that you manually created. Your product can be in the form of a statue with a base or in the form of a plaque with a backing to your text.

DETAILS

· No fonts allowed. You must design your own letters. Using a 3 by 5 grid works for most letters.

· The goal is to give you an opportunity to apply your design knowledge to create an open-ended product.

· Some commands that could be useful include fillet, chamfer, revolve, …

· Do not limit yourself to a single word. Having more letters means more design work.

· Consider having multiple lines of text.

· Consider adding design elements or more lettering on the side of the text.

· Consider adding design elements or text on the face of the base. You could even have a hidden message somewhere.

· Consider creating a structure and placing your text on that structure. For example, you could create a pyramid and place your text on it. Or a cylinder, and make the text come out of it.

Be creative. Have fun! Your product should reflect the provided time given in class.
