When thinking about our time at NuVu so far, there are many symbols that come to mind. There are simple shapes for our abstraction unit, cameras for our photography unit, and and a toolbox for our woodworking unit. When faced with the question of how to represent our time at NuVu far, the best way is to display it on one of the few materials that is used everyday: our backpacks. To represent our time at NuVu, I have taken the symbols most important to describing our current experience, and turned them into keychains and wall art.

Thesis Statement

Precedents

Shaker Keychain

I find the assembly of all the pieces to be very interesting, and I love how it adds an amazing personality to it.

3D Keychain

I'd like to practice turning my own graphics from 2D to 3D, and this is a good example of a simple concept of it.

Mindflowers Wall Art

I love the way that this company uses their different colors as each layer to make a very clean piece!
