After
having experimented in my initial "Thingiverse Mashup Concepts" and
hearing the feedback from my colleagues about my ideas I decided to go ahead
and refine one of my designs so it was more fleshed out. The design concept I
chose to refine was my tenth concept, which was named "What the Heart
Wants," for this concept I received lots of positive feedback so I chose
to take that feedback and let it influence my final design.
When refining my design I chose to make it more bizarre then it initially was after hearing from my colleagues that they would like to see me take my idea further. I did this by angling a couple of its many arms so that they faced downward as if they were legs, I also chose to have the arms along the outer area of the heart as opposed to being closer to the centre. I did this because my colleagues found in my initial concept it was hard to understand what the separate pieces actually were, with my final design its is easy to make out both the shape of the heart and the many arms which gives off a much more creepy visual. Another piece of feedback I received from my colleagues was that the name given to this design should be "Heart Attack" as it was both a clever pun and much more suitable name.
I found that when I was doing my refining from my concept that my colleagues feedback helped me to find what did and did not work in my initial idea. An example of this was when one of my colleagues mentioned that my design was free floating, it did not have legs and this seemed odd, having the viewpoints of others definitely helped me in creating my final design.
Working on these past two thingiverse projects has been a very interesting experience for me as it has both shown me a new creative field and it has exposed me to a massive community of fellow creative individuals who work in the same medium and mentality associated with remix culture. When I was creating my initial concepts for my thingivese mashup assignment I constantly thought about what two objects would combine well together, that is where I got the idea of having both my objects be organic in nature. That thought process led me to creating an organic design that looks as though it could actually be something that is living and breathing, as warped and creepy as it may be.
I think that my final creation truly embodies what remix culture is all about, I say this because I have taken two objects and combined them to make something that looks as though it had been designed as one solid form when in reality these two objects were taken from two completely different creators and combined. My design, hopefully to others, coveys the true embodiment of what remix culture is.
The original design can be found below as well as my new design.
