Workshop Journal Week 1
Choosing Material & Creating the frame
The first week of The Workshop I discussed with Mr. Riga how to make my product. We were also choose the type of the material, and I decided to use the cardboard for my sofa model. First of all I cut the 2 boards to 4 same sizes. In total there are 8 same sized boards. I use the Fret Saw to cut the whole board and make sure there are all in same sizes. I used cutter to cut the sides and make sure the edged is all equal.After the cutting process, I glued the board one another .I feel good about my work because it is easy to use and the size is also provided. My weaknesses is in making sure the size remain the same. I developed my idea,These first steps are not the same as my first plan because there is easier way to make it.

Workshop Journal Week 2
Cutting shape and Making Cushion
After finish cutting and gluing the boards i decided to move into cutting the real shape of the sofa . To start, I made the front view shape in the Google Sketch up. I’ve print it and cut the shape on paper,then stick the front view shape to the board.Mr Riga helped me in cutting the shape with the Fret Saw and make sure the curved are also cut neatly.
For the cushion, i cut two a board in size of the middle of the sofa . Then i used color
paper to cover the surface . it could help me when i do the paintings.

Workshop Journal Week 3Smoothing & Covering
the SurfaceI made sure the sofa have no sharp edge with using the sander . It was also my last stage of finishing in order to smoothen the sharp edgesBefore the coloring process I covered all of the surface. of the sofa.For the base and front back side of the sofa I used card board so it will be firmer. For the curved surface I used color paper. because it was more flexible than the card board. I measure the width, length and depth of every side and cut it . I also make sure that the card board or the paper fit in the shape of the side, so it would cover it perfectly.After the cutting process i glued it to the matched parts.

Workshop Journal Week 4ColoringFor the 4th week, i’ve been working on the coloring process.The colors options are back to my first plan. The wood should be in gold and the cushion is in the turquoise. The problem is at the moment ,we didn’t have the exact color as i wanted. So i decided to use another color that would match the gold wood. I rechecked my product that it should have been fully covered and it should have smooth surface in all edges. When i did the paintings i did 3 layers and the color separated perfectly on the paper

SolutionProblem
Because the softness of the brush, sometimes the color was spreading to the other side of the sofa. It made me have to do the coloring again.
Mr.Riga told me to use the tape so it would cover the painted part. So, when i paint the other part of the model the
color wouldn’t mix up

Before AfterModification
I couldn’t find the match color for the cushion. There was some blue paint
but the color is to bright. So, i decided too paint it with Red velvet color
which is the combination of red and brown.
I was not satisfied with color because i think it looks too old. I combined the color of Light Green with blue and it came with this color. This is the color that i wanted on my design so this is the final color for
the cushion.

Workshop Journal Week 5
Making and Coloring base
After finish coloring the main sofa, i decided to add some base for it. Mr. Jullian gave me a board which match the size with sofa. Before paint it i gave 3 colors of choices to think about . “Which one does match with the color of my sofa?”Black was too dark, Another Torquiest is too much, so I decided to use red color to give some more edginess in it.It was easy to paint the board. The surface was smooth and the size also wasn’t too big.

Up-view
Add some brick pattern + Nails with Black pen
In addition, i add some brick pattern on the painted base with black marker. I think the patterns add some more detail for my product because the body of the sofa it's already plain. First of all i divided it into 14 same sized parts. And make lines like brick patters
