So, I got my project list for my Woodwork finals exam, which I have several months to complete (And it counts towards 60% of my final mark, handy eh?), Anyone, here is the project I'm choosing:
"Design and make a free standing artefact to hold a small number of your favourite books. The artefact should be designed to display personal items that reflect your interest in music and also allow the titles of the book to be easily visible. The design should be elegant in proportion and be attractive to behold."
There were two others, but one was very vague and the other just seemed complicated.
So, thoughts?

If the sole purpose is to create a functional piece, then it should be relatively easy, you just conform to whatever aesthetic design you like. However if its graded on +difficulty +flourishes etc., then design care would be more warranted. That said, books and CDs look good (to me at least) in diamond pattern holdings. |
