Weekly Assignments:

My task for this week are:

• Model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, …) a possible final project, compress your images and videos, and post a description with your design files on your class page

Helpful Notes:

• Try experimenting with different 2D and 3D design tools (e.g. Fusion 360, Rhino, FreeCAD, Illustrator, Inkscape, Blender).

• Focus on designing components relevant to your final project rather than random models — this helps build early progress.
