IDEATION SO FAR:

I really like these because they are relatively simple and they have ideal features like anti role bar around the head of the torch, non slip grig and shatter proof lenses.

Reflection 2:

So far this term we have been working through pro desk top to complete a series of projects to get us ready for making the torch that is due the start of next term. These projects included using skills like:
- mirroring
- revolving
- extruding
- projecting
-adding components, fixing them, mating faces
- rounding edges etc.
Now that we have the knowledge of these certain skills it will be easier to make are torches.
Our projects like the clock, toy block, phone, wheel, calculator and pen are due this Friday. So far I have done all of them I just have to print them out and then I can hand it in.
