Project Post #1

Lauren Frecka 3/7/17 Post

  • Lauren accomplished:
    • received prototype jacket in the mail
    • el panel from adafruit is on its way
    • Super exciting– got an email back from Lunabrite and they are sending me a discounted sample pack for $15! Really excited to get the product in the mail
    • began sketching different design options
  • A description of problems encountered and outstanding issues:
    • began to get a bit frustrated and overwhelmed with the sketches since there are so many different designs I could potentially do
  • A plan for the next week of work:
    • Work with prototype jacket– rip it, study seams, etc.
    • Get help on how to connect a light sensor to the el panel when I get it in the mail
    • Start designing a pattern/design on Illustrator for the laser cutter. (Might need help when I get to the Illustrator part)
    • Find out what textiles will work best for all parts of my project and begin to buy them
    • pick a name to call the jacket
