Design Theory Exam

Brooch A- it’s a brooch that has a smooth surface, made up of white metals overall and small features of yellow metal. The front of the brooch has been designed with perspex and underneath placed with a 3D abstract photo of a building or a house. On the edge there is patterned line that surrounds the house which looks like some kind of a fencing of the property. The back of this brooch is designed mechanically with features of an organic feel of natural trees and leaves. The leaves make a movement of like a snake. At the bottom of the are small spikes which looks like grass. This brooch at the back is made up of white metal and the yellow metal has been placed at the top off centre to the left and at the bottom off centre to the right. Underneath there are mechanism objects which are various sizes and with different pattern designs on the circles. The brooch has different surface treatments on the back and it’s heavier on weight. The back is more like an abstract; it makes the eyes to move everywhere.

Brooch B- Has a halo construction which has been plated with yellow metal on the inside, the brooch has six white metal unusual triangle pieces soldered on the front and the centre sweat soldered with a yellow metal ball. The way the designer manufactured this design, he/she made it to look like an umbrella. It’s been designed to have a less weight. It has both organic and mechanism feel, the surface is totally smooth and as well it has that first stage polished feeling
