Eman the Logo:Inkscape

In this week We want to create some designs using 2D softwares. I wanted to try out Inkscape to make my face a logo inspired by Omar's funny Logo. But making it cooler and using some features I haven't touched before. "How should it look like?" I wondered. fortunately I live with a talented flatmate. She gave some tips on how to make the logo unquie which feature to highlight and so on. She made these cute drawing saying I can highlight my hair, glases or nose.

So I went and explored some tutorials about tools like the beizer tool I'm used it to cut the background and make trace my face then filling it with the fill tool. I added 2 earring that looked like galaxies with the spirals tool and added some gradient effect. I sprinkled a lot of stars on my head using the spray tool. VOILA

GIMP: The Thumbnail

I made a Thumbnail! I also made some moodboards but the thumbnail you see in the Beginning is all my doing. I first added the images as layers and scaled them, positioned them where I want them. Added the some filter effects mainly the supernova filter from "Light and Shadow" List

Spoiler! I'm a bookworm

3D: Modeling a possible orrery

Since my final idea is either a star tracking telescope or a smart orrery , sooner or later I'll face the ultimate challenge--Gears. So in this week I wanted to make some movement.

Tinkering with TinkerCAD

I tried Modeling in TinkerCAD before for 3D Printing and Laser Cutting when I was an instructor in a program that teaches girls maker tools. However I haven't acquinted myself with the codeblocks featuere and since I decided to try OpenSCAD I want to try out something similar first so I our instructor recommended this tutorial and VOILA

OpenSCAD

OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It's like the the programmer's dream come true since it uses line of code for creating 3D objects from scratch or using libraries. I relied on the documentation to understand the bascis. Then I used this Library to make some gears and here's the final output . .
