2. Principles and practices

Besides of planning, websites, version control, and documentation, we should have already started thinking about our final project and preparing for the upcoming challenge.

Research

Don’t they look alike?

Abstract

I have explored several similar projects in different areas. So, I found very interesting things that are different, but at the same time have a lot in common.

  • Similar examples:

Final Project

On this page I only wrote about the research and initial ideas. but I also have a page for my final project and there I will describe everything else.

I wanted to create a large wall platform that could accommodate many different devices, lights, speakers, screens and more. This idea came to me when I first started the course. Every week I did something for this.

After that I decided to do something for myself as I enjoy working outdoors. And my main tool is a laptop. I decided to make a portable laptop stand to improve the outdoor work of digital artists. This table will be equipped with: Adjustable laptop holder. Built-in space mouse. Programmable macro keyboard for increased efficiency.
