Reflection

What we have been doing in class for the past few lessons now has been creating the assigned products from the test book on ProDesktop. So far I have finished all but the last one. The first two exercises were the 'Toy Block' and the 'Toy Block extension'. They were both reasonably easy to make and the instructions were very simple to follow. The next exercises were the 'Simple Calculator Design', 'Clock face project', 'Cart Wheel' and finally, the 'iPhone Design'. The first three were a little harder than the Toy block but still pretty simple to do, however, the iPhone design was both somewhat difficult, but also a lot of fun. Using ProDesktop, we had to try and replicate our (or someone else's) iPhones. I did encounter some problems while doing this task but was able to resolve them quickly. The iPhone replicating task was definitely my favourite. The next two tasks were the 'Energy Drink Bottle' and the 'Aluminium Motor Cycle Wheel'. The first one was still challenging as the techniques having to be used gradually got harder and the instructions more indistinct, but was still less challenging than the second task. The Aluminium Wheel was extremely difficult as there were pretty much no instructions at all on how to make it, only some very unclear pictures, which were very complicated and (to me) did not make any sense. Thankfully, Mr Ward decided that the class should not have to do this exercise, and therefore I didn't get to finish it. The next exercise I now have to do is the 'Ball Point Pen', but I'm not sure if I'm going to have enough time to finish it as these are all due Friday. Hopefully, I'll have some time to get it done and handed in on the due date.
