In the last few weeks, I was able to create a steampunk speaker by using the application Affinity Designer and cutting out my design using a laser cutter. During this project much went south, but I was able to learn from it. For example, my buttons were stuck after I superglued attachments to them for better accessibility. By making this mistake, I realized how hard it is to make a successful speaker with well-designed access to buttons. But not everything went south, my design was very successful since I was able to fit everything together perfectly as planned, and the color pallet went together even better than I expected, I believe that making my design well planned was the most vital part and helped me not have to continuously go back to the drawing board to fix up problems. Over this project, I felt like the planning part was the hardest due to the decisions of what aesthetic or style I wanted, I believe, in the future, when I face a hard choice, I will just go with my gut feeling. Since I designed a speaker, I have to lesson to a song through it, I believe that the first song would be Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley because that is my attitude towards my speaker. I had lots of fun in the past few weeks due to Mr. Layman’s consideration of our feelings and interests.
