100 word statement: Model 5 For this project I’ve used photoshop and a variety of model making materials in order to represent my design options. For example, my 5 th model I used balsa wood, aluminium, and cardboard and assisted with lighting and photography enhances the design, mood, and layout I wanted to achieve.  Additionally, digital tools, such as photoshop, enhances these aspects to manipulate the type of and materiality I imagined my space to be. With photoshop I applied 3 different materials, charred and pale coloured timber with painted brick with a backdrop (alpine setting) to enhance my design idea. These techniques created the quality of space as designed.

I added three new materials to my model which include charred timber (my roof and flooring), light timber (for joinery), and white bricks as my wall structure. I played around with these particular materials as I really appreciate and admire cold, snowy landscapes and always dreamed of having a little cabin in a remote area such as this.

with this model I worked at a smaller scale which allowed me to save time and material whilst still being able to achieve similar aesthetic compared to my other models. the scale is 1:20 compared to 1:50 like the other models.

This model I tried to create different access ways for late through vertical panels coming across the windows that has interesting reaction and effect on light. through this process every model made is easier and more efficient with my time .

Through the online tutorial I started to learn how to apply different materials to an object or product I have made by first through applying it to a Stanley knife. Through Russel's tutorial I learnt to apply this to the loft shell model I learnt to do in last weeks tutorial. I applied the materials that Russel used as I'm not the most technical when it comes to these programs and through following Russel's steps I found the whole process of learning this new skill a lot easier.

for my second model I tried something more different, combing organic, fluid, and geometric shapes into it. I did this as the other model I made looked pretty standard and familiar to other rooms so I though it would be interesting to play around with this bending oval shaped room.

this next stage required us to work outside the box and be more creative, making your room to be whatever you wanted to be. and with this had just simply had some fun with it with the exterior and interior, really enjoying utilising space that I've made and making something of it.

the next stage wanted us to add more elements to make our room to whatever we wanted it to be.  so what I added is: - a staircase leading to a second bed above the queen size below -light fixture in the ceiling and on the right corner in the first photo -wooden sliding door with little whole that has an interesting play with the light (seen in the third image) overall I really enjoyed this stage since through playing with light it had some really incredble paterns and effects.

The next part required us to use cardboard as a model making material and as visualised here, it is much more stable. This was useful to understand that testing out and using differential materials assist to determine was is best need to present what I want.

This task required us to make our room out of paper into scale of 1:10. this was a challanging task. the reason is that the paper, as a model making material, doesnt have the stanegth to hold itself up, especially consider the size i made the model to be. 

3D model of fusion box cutting after completing the box cutting through the fusion program and then apllying the laser cut template i printed it out and cut the shapes through papers and attempted to stick them together. this was quite challenging through this thing material as it was intended to be 3mm thick but since papers was used it didn't piece together as well as it should of.
