City Of Angels
This project was one where we where assigned a child from the City Of Angels orphanage. We made toys and letters for our new buddy's so they could enjoy the holidays. There where a little over 20 kids at the orphanage and each one got a partner. This was a project that lasted for a few weeks and was pretty emotional because you knew that you where making someone happy but i couldn't see them again or help them in the long run.
2 hour challenge
The 2 hour challenge was one where we chose a partner and we had 2 hours to make a prototype toy for our buddy's. This toy was one that would be well suited for the age group of out buddy and one that could be made again since it was a prototype. Me and my partner made a coloring book with lots of cool pictures that we thought a 3 year old boy or girl would like.
Peer critique and personnel growth reflection
I think this part of the project helped me with my final design a lot because i got a lot of feedback from friends. I noticed that people really liked the whole gender neutral images in the coloring book so i wanted to carry that to my final product which was going to be a playhouse. Instead of doing barbies i decided to do a farm house because it seemed like a toy that a little girl or boy would enjoy.
The Procces And Final Product
Reflection
This project took a lot of work even though we where just writing a letter and making a toy. I needed to create a plan for my toy at first it was a coloring book but i later decided on a farm playhouse. I switched to the farm house because i thought it would be a lot nicer than a coloring book. While making the farm i created a few layouts of what i was going to do and what sizes everything was going to be. It took me a few days but i was able to make the farm and bought some animals for my buddy to use on her farm. I think that the project was fun but i feel like i didn't learn anything throughout the entire project it was nice to do something for someone else but my Spanish skill feels the same.
