The design process for the bottle tree was fairly simple. Seen above it was a linear process and didnt really have any loops or iterations to it. I started off with the idea in my head. A picture of what it would look like and a general idea of what materials I was going to use.
After Brain storming I drew up a few sketches and iterated through what the base pieces were going to look like and what shape I would put the bottles in.
From here, I started searching for my materials and found a decent piece of wood in my garage that I could use. I scrounge around friends house and mine to find all the bottle I needed. I also happened to have the epoxy and lights that I will include.
Next I drew up another sketch this time with some dimensions so I would be able to cut the piece of would into the shape I need. I also included rough locations of where the bottles would be and where the lights would go.
Now it’s on to the assembly phase…

Super accurate version of your design loop (or line as I should probably be saying). Not much you can really improve here as the design process seemed to go smoothly for you. Showing the sketches might be nice though.
That’s a very straight-forward process! It would be great if you can add some of you sketches and pictures of the assembly so I can have a clearer idea of the design.
I have the benefit of having seen your final product (which is dope, by the way), so I can clearly see how your linear design process so well. Using material selection to create to influence your design choice was the same process I used in my design. Very cool aesthetic that fits perfectly with a college vibe while still maintaining a sophisticated level of conceptualization!
