Goal

The goal of this exer­cise is to develop and prac­tice skills needed for the pro­duc­tion of design arti­facts and experiences.

Objective

The objec­tive of this exer­cise is to use an the appro­pri­ate tools and mate­ri­als to a cre­ate a sam­ple arti­fact or experience.

Background

• 5 COMMON WALL ART MISTAKES EVERYONE MAKES! 🖼️ (eas­ily fixable!)
• How to Hang Pictures
• How to install and wire D Ring Hang­ers in 7 easy steps
• PRINT, MAT & FRAME Your Pho­tographs (from A to Zen)

Assignment

Using the mate­ri­als and tech­niques of the class demon­stra­tions, as well as processes from the Back­ground videos, assem­ble and fin­ish the arti­facts (or expe­ri­ence). Look for meth­ods and plan­ning to make the process eas­ier and more depend­able. For exam­ple, build­ing in trim or fold marks, vis­i­ble to constructor/assembler but hid­den from the user in the fin­ished arti­fact, are impor­tant. Set­ting up jigs or tools to make repet­i­tive tasks sim­pler is also valu­able for effi­ciency and consistency.

Part One

Using the sup­plied mate­ri­als, insert your mat into the frame, and then close up the back. Install hard­ware, if necessary.

Part Two

Fin­ish the art­work by hang­ing it and lev­el­ing it.

Sub­mit an JPG or PDF image to the appro­pri­ate drop­box for assessment.
