I call this inspiration board a Modern, Vintage Mexico, because I have elements of old traditions such as the lace on her veil, the church, the vintage map, gold jewelry, silver table decor and the use of old-world typography. The modern aspect comes from the use of nontraditional things for the wedding decor. I am embracing local plants to Mexico like succulents that can be used in the bridal bouquet, boutonniere, table centerpieces and on the wedding cake too. And throughout the board, you can see that "modern pop of color", the deep plum, as an accent color – in her bouquet with the orchids, her oh-so-chic pumps, and hints of it in individual succulent plants.

And last but not least is my personal Art Studio room in which I am sooo desperately in need of right now. Currently, my dining room is filled with projects for a client wedding. Thank goodness we don't eat in there too often or my husband would have a tiff about it. For this room, I wanted to keep it generally neutral with white and beige tones, but then offset with a pop of color and fun. I loved this area rug from FLOR, because it reminded me of the Missoni brand, and its use of textiles in fashion. Besides having a lot of energy and movement, I liked its playfulness for my art room. To contrast the edginess of the rug and bright red side chair, I wanted a rustic, craft feel since it is a work studio. For the floors, I am going with a white-washed distressed wood finish in a laminate material which will be good for the basement in case there is ever water damage, and it will be highly resilient for my laborious projects. For the main light fixture, it's an over-sized barn-like pendant lamp that suspends over the main work table with two cast-iron stools underneath. I can't wait to work in this space!

I had an itch for a summer, emerald green color palette after I saw the Carolina Herrera's white gown called "Constance". The dramatic, wavy ruffles on the dress reminded me of the Peony's chunky white petals (on the second board, lower-right corner). Then I saw the dark green stem against the white Peony and came up with the perfect color combo – green, white and a soft grey. It's a nice combination for a spring wedding – fresh, crisp and clean.
I always love a nice, tailored grey suit with a nice tie, like the one above in green for the groom and his groomsmen. And for the reception table decor, only use fresh live plants like green grass, moss, herbs and even live plant terrariums.

Colors: Poppy Red, Orange + Mandarin Yellow
An intense burst of oranges + reds in this inspiration board. I was inspired by Reem Acra's silk floral gown from the 2010 spring season. This particular wedding I see it set in a spring garden setting. An effortless, beautiful bride with her hair gathered into an easy pony tail with a red-orange poppy flower accent. Fun, matching colored flats for the bride and her bridesmaids in stylish cocktail-length dresses. The groom and groomsmen in beige cotton suits with coordinating bow or skinny ties.
A simple, but delish menu of spring greens, caprese salad, pasta and warm baked bread. And it is accompanied with refreshing drinks like fresh squeezed lemonade, Italian sodas and theme-colored cocktails. :) As for decor, glowing paper lanterns that blow in the night breeze, twinkle lights wrapped around the local trees, and sunburst orange flowers contrasted against clean white, crisp linens.

iPlay V1
Our design had to be cheap to manufacture, with minimal manufacture processes and a low overall cost. Keeping this in mind I sketched my basic idea and then rendered it. After exporting the DXF files I lasercut them and had my first prototype.
There is an everlasting debate amongst gamers as to which console and controller is the best. I found that the PS3 controller was the most popular second being Xbox 360. The PS3 controller is symettrical unlike the Xbox controller and is so ergonomoic you can often forget you are holding it.
I illustrated the PS3 controller outline to kickstart the CAD process. My design consists of 3 layers of 5mm acrylic creating an iphone cavity depth of 10mm (iPhone 4 has a thickness of 9.3mm) and an overall thickness of 15mm. The structure would be held together with tight fit acrylic rods. I need to carry out test pieces on 2.99+-0.1mm radii to decide what are the best dimensions to use for these slots bearing in mind the lasercutter burns away material.
The whole in the bottom layer is so the device can be pushed out from the case after use.
V2
I asked some students to test the V1 prototype. They liked the product especially its simplicity. There were points that I could develop and improve.
Not all iPhone games auto orientate, hence it was essential I adapted my design so the phone could be rotated 180 degress. This would be easy by simply duplicating the button slots.
In addition to this there was no camera hole. If I were to introduce a camera holeto the design it would have to be duplicated 180 degrees to ensure photos could be taken no matter what orientation the iPhone was.
Taking this on board I designed and manufactured iPlay V2. Although acrylic rod would create a tight fit, 4 drops of dichloromethane would chemically weld the components together for a long lasting permanent fit. After this I used a buffing wheel to create round edges making the product more ergonomic to hold.
V3
Once again I asked some students for feedback on my prototype. They were impressed with how I addressed the previous issues. The only negative point raised was that it would not fit in your pocket. This was the next challenge I faced.
I considered hinging the lower two arms and making them lock into the back of the case. However this would make the design more complex and increase cost and manufacturing processes.
I moved the top pair of holes further up to better distribute the stress. I decided to split the product in half. My V3 model has alternating layers this creates cavities that allow it to be locked together together when not in use as photographed. This would easily fit in you pocket.
The problem the alternating layers created is a less ergonomic shape. Secondly there was nothing holding the two half together when placed on the phone.
In my V4 model I introduced a rubber band which kept the two half together when on the phone. It would also prevent one half form being lost. This created a new problem; the top half of the rubber band would not always line up as there was nothing guiding it. This was my next problem to solve.
V4
My final model would be made from acrylic but I was not going to buff it as that would add a manufacture process and would siginificanty increase the manufacture time. Since I was already using the laser cutter for cutting my components I thought I may aswell engrave some sort of graphics onto the top layer. I decided to remove the gaps in between the layers to make it better to hold and to remodel the rubberband tracks.
V5
I solved the problem of the inconvenient rubber band with two more locating rods on the top. These extra rods would keep the rubber band guided along the correct track. I made a MDF prototype to test my idea and it worked successfully even with coffee stirrers replicating the acrylic rod.
Satisfied with my idea I finally created an acrylic version. This required a bit more thought than previously as I had to accomodate for the thick rubber band. I decided to use 3mm acrylic instead of 5mm to create a thinner profile. This meant I needed a total of 5 layers to accomodate an iPhone 4.
Since I was already using a lasercutter and I wanted the product to appeal to gamers I decided to engrave some patterns. I was going to use a translucent coloured acrylic for the bottom layer and adjust the design so that it covers the camera and flash. This way the case will act as a camera filter and the flash/torch will produce coloured light.
Now that the product was split into halfs the individual components were so small that cutting a single iPlay V5 uses less than an A4 sized amount of 3mm acrylic (the 2D Design screenshot has an A3 page layout). This also meant that it would fit both an iPhone 4 & 5 as the rubber can stretch to accomodate for an iPhone 5. Apart from the height of the iPhone 5 the dimensions are very similair to those of the 4.
I am very pleased with the final product and getting through to the next stage with KFDS. If I were to develop the product further I would find a way to lock the two halves together when not on the phone. This could be done like a jigsaw puzzle or by manipulating the rods into a dowel joint.
