Lightbox reflection post

In product design, we made a lightbox that represented a place we wanted to go or had an emotional attachment to. I chose Singapore because it was where I was born and 3 of my close family members are in Singapore currently. I learned a lot about how to use adobeĀ  illustrator, creating shapes I can use and how to group shapes together to alter them easier. I also learned about how to apply paint to the wood without making it too thick and how to recover when something goes wrong with the painting and the cutting.

Something I would want to improve on and change is the placement. When I added the merlion piece in, I strugged to put it in because I used hot glue to stick the pieces and the hot glue was already cooling down so when I put it in I couldnt adjust it anymore, I would also want to improve on checking mesurements before it gets cut out because I had 2 failed cuts I could not use because they were too big.
