Week 11 DES302 Capstone Blog

T-minus 15 days until the majority of my capstone work is due. While this is a horrifically frightening prospect, it will also be a monumental weight off of my shoulders. This assignment's requirement for personal self-motivation and work effort has been very close to the definition of stress (“a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances.”). With this, I’m both excited and frightened for the next 2 and a bit weeks to pass. Week 11 involved many hours being put into work that has not always produced the best results. I’ll get into this more in the action section of this reflection. Outside of university, week 11 has been pretty action-packed! World Cup preparation is well and truly in full swing, as we trained twice this week and played a fairly frustrating game on Thursday night in horrific wind and rain. Along with this, I took part in interfaculty hockey on Saturday, which was extremely good fun, I haven’t played hockey for over 5 months now, and I’ve missed the sport a lot, so getting back on the turf for a fun and sociable event was like free therapy. However, my glutes and back are paying the price for not playing for so long! This, however, did mean that Saturday was a write-off, and no work was achieved on a day I originally planned to spend working through my casebook. In all honesty, I’m completely fine with catching up on the hours missed because that hockey tournament was so needed - a mental break swapped with physical work.

Week 11 focused mostly on the Plan for Impact phase of the Design for Conservation (D4C) methodology. This means that my project has majoritively shifted out of the prototyping work from the Propose and Validate phase and moved into the phase more focused on polishing and promoting my work. With this, a lot of what I planned for week 11 focused on making things look nice, completing planning templates, and working on my other deliverables - the visual summary, my casebook, and my video. 

In terms of how I achieved these goals, I printed and tested my final 3D model, began to build my video off of the structure created in week 10, completed all of the remaining Plan for Impact D4C templates, created mapped mock-up map images highlighting available areas for impact, researched into two local pitches and documented how they could be improved both performance wise and sustainability wise, and finalised my organic prototype by packaging and photographing the finished prototypes. After printing and testing 3D model 6, the slightly deeper shelf in the shell allows the spiral piece to fit flush and spin with less resistance. Along with this, the resized thread on top of the stud fits perfectly with a pair of football boots and holds enough tension to be screwed in and out of the boot. Unfortunately, the spiral piece for Model 6 broke due to a printing error, so the spiral from Model 5 was used for testing. A new spiral piece will be printed soon to complete model 6. Luckily, the spiral piece is relatively unchanged for model 6, and the main innovation for this model was the thread, which worked as intended. Constructing the video mostly focused on collecting, cutting, and organizing footage shot by myself and from stock footage. For this, I’m using DaVinci Resolve, as I feel comfortable and confident using it, and have DaVinci experience through the workforce as well as previous classes. The only issues I have with DaVinci come from its struggle with multiple media pieces on one timeline, as it often lags when displaying the video, leading to uncertainty with some cuts and edits. The map mock-up images were created to display the statistic “Auckland Council indicates that in 2016/17, green space accounted for 47% of the urban area”. This was the most recent statistic I could find for Auckland's urban green space percentage and also provided a great sample size for areas of impact for my project. The local pitches I looked into were Madills Farm and Taharoto Park, as they are the two pitches I’ve spent the most time at in Auckland and the two I have the best understanding of in terms of how they are run, etc. Finalising my organic models was extremely rewarding personally, as I was able to see my prototype in a finished and polished form, creating something that I wanted to share and am very proud of.

The learnings from Week 11 are predominantly around the importance of taking a break. This was the first weekend I’ve not had football all day Saturday since February. With this, I planned to work on my project all of Saturday, but luckily, hockey came along and filled the day. Although it meant another Saturday not spent on my capstone, I realised that I really need sport on Saturdays. Although they don’t offer a stereotypical break, they do offer time away from this project and a very welcomed mental distraction. Plus, the benefits of physical activity. I’ve learnt that these distractions are so important for my own wellbeing, and while my legs are absolutely knackered today, my cup is full, and I’ve got the mental energy to keep going for a few more weeks.

Here are some of the hero shots I took this week, as well as the map graphic!!
