New Project...

by kilzombie

This year, for my Design Tech. class, we have to design and build a model of either something to do with Storage, Display, Lighting, or Game Design(board game). The grade we get for this project is worth 50% of our final grade in the summer. I was at first thinking of doing storage, but I kinda changed my mind, and I might go for display instead. I was thinking of making a small stand to go on a counter, to, for example display new movies, or music. Last year we had to design and build model clocks. It was pretty challenging, but I got a decent grade. I just wish I had worked on my file more, because that's where most of the marks were. This year the file will have to be over 30 A3 pages. It also has to be finished by December 4th so we can start building as soon as we get back after the winter break.

As for my English Lit. class, our teacher expects us to write two essay tasks each week, plus re-read To Kill A Mockingbird, and study 6 new poems. To top it all off I'm barely understanding anything in Chemistry-I haven't understood much since we started Electrolysis last year- so I guess this year is going to be pretty challenging.

Anyways, I've been working on a border for my project pages, and I've come up with this:

A little sketch of the border

Obviously the final version will be on A3, and be at a higher quality, unfortunately my scanner is pretty crappy and it seems to take scans and copies at an angle. I need to get it replaced by next year, because by that time it would've been over 5 years since I bought it. I'd like to know what you think of the border. I can't really add color, since then I wouldn't be able to photocopy it at school.
