For my mesh project, I decided to try a lamp. In retrospect, the mesh tool was not terribly useful for this object. Most areas were pretty solid shades, and could have just used a gradient.

Here are my two Quote projects.

The first is a wood texture that I found online. I had a good quote about living life and no regrets that had an element of time travel to it. So I decided to reference Doctor Who for this one.


























My second one is the texture I found myself. This texture came from a picture I took of cardboard.

Here is my design shout-out.





















Thought the splicing of Star Wars characters into famous paintings was clever. This one I thought was the best of the works.

So... The first project.

I spent some time playing around with various designs, most of which I thought weren't very good. This was further cemented by the fact that rarely did others seem to recognize the emotion I was trying to portray.

Finally, I settled on this design I created for "Stress"

Initially, the lines were horizontal, and only on one side of the circle. Then I added lines to both sides, and made them vertical. In the end, I settled on a design where the lines were rotated at a 45 degree angle.








































In hindsight, when I look at this piece, it feels somewhat unbalanced...
