Orthographic Drawings (con't): Bird Box

In continuing orthographic drawings, the following project was done in a similar manner as the previous. However, for this project, we designed our own orthographic drawings to be created into a 3-D object. So, not only did we have to design the outward appearance, as we did in the previous project, but we also had to design the actual physical object.

By combining the designs of different existing orthographic drawing ideas, I was able to come up with something original. On one website, I found several 3-D boxes that were held together with different interlocking pieces on the top of the box. By combining this idea with the construction of a regular 3-D box, I created a box that was held together on two sides by interlocking birds.

I found this portion of orthographic drawings to be significantly more interesting because I was able to try and create my own design. However, it was also significantly more challenging. The combination of designing the box and designing the outside was much more time consuming. Despite the challenges, I am very happy with the design I came up with.
