Week 2: Problem Solving

Theoretical

  • For theoretical problems, finding the right types of tower to reference for my designs was difficult. In order to sort out my problem, I filtered through towers that had shared aspects to my imagination, and pieced them together, taking several traits from various designs on my Pinterest board until I came up with a solid image to draw.

Practical

  • During the creation of my tower concepts, I realised that Procreate’s stabiliser tool was far less stable than other types of drawing applications. This was a hindrance for me due to the need for straight lines when working on a specific tower that needed lots of sharp edges and lines. In order to progress further with no other setbacks, I looked up a tutorial on how to create straight lines on Procreate, as there was no tool. I did manage to absorb the information that educated me on the special ability to long hold my wonky line to correct the shakiness into a straight line, and for vertical angling, all I had to do was while simultaneously holding the stable line, touch the screen a little further up with my finger in order to point the line at a 90 degree angle.
