Over these 2 weeks, I created the final version of my wii remote papercraft For the final version of my wii remote, I first started by figuring out what changes I needed to make to the prototype to get a better end result. I stumbled upon this photo of these cool stylized wii remotes and decided that I was going to use the Princess Peach themed one as inspiration for the colour of my own.  I also decided to split the wii remote into two parts. This was mainly for two reasons; A) the Peach remote was separated into two different shades of pink and B) the wii remote actually has a noticeable line of separation between the top and bottom half. It also just made it easier to construct to be honest. I decided to cut out the cross and "A" button from the top base and connect them from the inside as suggested in the critic session. I reduced the smaller buttons purely to flat pieces rather than trying to fold them.  I started with the bottom base. Because I sorta like the process of...

 This week we were tasked with making a prototype of our paper project to practice getting the form and details of our form right. For this, I am designing a Wii remote (as I'm sure is evident by my other posts lolol) I started off by taking the base model I designed last week and added the buttons that I was planning to add. Then I proceeded to unroll everything and prepared it for printing.  Unfolded buttons  *Some of the buttons in this page specifically are way too big. I did resize them but theyre still a little big on the prototype. I will fix this for the official model, however I struggled a lot to fold the smaller buttons so they may have to remain oversized in order to keep their form. Constructing the base! Went fairly well, except for the top sides. I realized I screwed up the way it should fold together a little so again I will fix that later on. I used the blunt backside of some tweezers to score the paper and it worked super well.  Final Model! As you ...
