Pizza Box That Keeps Your Pizza Warm-Design Prototype

Over the course of this project, I decided to create a pizza box that would heat and keep your pizza warm. Since I order pizza often, I know that the pizza often gets cold when it arrived. To fix this problem, I created a box that would ensure that the customer would get fresh hot pizza. I wrapped the pizza box with tin foil and I plan to add heaters inside the box for the actual design. My biggest success for this project was being able to create this prototype with the limited materials I had. Skills I’ve learned while making this is to make different sketches and plans. Overall, I think my prototype was successful because it works and it can keep your pizza warm. Something I’d like the change about this prototype next time is that I would make the pizza box bigger.

My Bluetooth Speaker: Mid-Century Modern

This is my final bluetooth speaker:

In this design, I used the design aesthetic mid-century modern. In this course we learned a lot about mid-century modern so I decided to utilize it in this design.

What did you struggle with most during this project?

Over the course, I was successful during most part of the project. However I ran into a few technical problems when I was printing the design. When I submitted the design there were a few errors that I had to fix enable for the design to print. Overall, I am proud of my work during this project.

What’s a skill you learned or improved on over the course of this project?

During this project, I learned to create designs with Affinity Designer. I learned to create shapes and learned to use tools in the App. I also improved on staining wood in this class. I have learned to stain wood previously in woodworking. In this course, I improved on staining when I learned to stain more neater.

What aspect of this project are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of making this design on Affinity Designer. I worked hard on the design, and it took me over 4 classes to finish.

My Prototype for the bookmark

This is my final product

In my design, I designed a bookmark with a picture of an UFO. I chose this design because I wanted to make something simple thats also useful. I came up with 3 designs for a bookmark, but I chose this design over the other 2. Since we only had  only 2 weeks to complete the project. I chose this design because it was the most appropriate for the time that we had.  I’m proud that I was able to finish this project. I’ve had trouble sewing, for I had a lack of patience. I get frustrated  when the thread comes off the needle. I’m glad that I was able to finish this project.

Sewing was new to me at first. I didn’t know how to sew, and I’ve never sewed before. It was challenging for me at first since it was new to me, and it required patience.  I would also get frustrated when I do something wrong. After practicing sewing for a few times, it became easier for me.  However, I am still impatient when it comes to sewing.  I think I need to work on solving this problem. An advise I would give to another student would be to take your time when sewing and do not rush. Over the course, I learned that I should work on improving my patience. It’s a problem I always had with sewing. In the following weeks, I’m looking forward to learning how to code.

While making this project, we faced many challenges. One of the biggest obstacles is cutting the cardboard. It was not because it was hard to cut, it was because of the time limit that we have. We spent the first three classes just cutting cardboard. Then we realized that we were too slow, so one thing I want to change would be working faster. Later on, in the last few classes, we have decided to work faster. If we were to do it again, we would color our game. overall, our game went pretty smooth.
