3. Circular Open Source Fashion

Research & Ideation

My first idea for this projct on circular open source fashion and using the laser cutter for the first time was to make a series of iterlocking shapes out of my logo design (pictured above)

I made a few paper prototypes

While i liked this idea. I also felt that it was too simple and tried to come up with a more complex design (big mistake) and switched my idea to making a "Brimless Snapback hat"

My inspiration for this second iteration was a hat that has become popular in recent years. these brimless snapback hats have been popular with skaters and hipsters.

Here is an example:

PAPER PROTOTYPING

It took me quite a while to get comfortable with Rhino and Fusion 360. after going back and forth bewtween softwares for the better part of a day trying to make it do what i wanted to. i started to get the hang of it and was able to progress away from paper prototypes and into the CAD software.

footnote fabrication files

Fabrication files are a necessary element for evaluation. You can add the fabrication files at the bottom of the page and simply link them as a footnote. This was your work stays organised and files will be all together at the bottom of the page. Footnotes are created using [ ^ 1 ] (without spaces, and referenced as you see at the last chapter of this page) You can reference the fabrication files to multiple places on your page as you see for footnote nr. 2 also present in the Gallery.
