Initially, you’d think that since I love graphic design and printmaking so much, surely I’d do some kind of magazine cover, poster or something along the lines of that. I thought so too\u2014but I decided to go a bit out of my comfort zone this time and make a physical 3D object instead of going for 2D. I thought it would be nice to really work with the material I had and to actually construct something for once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keeping in mind that I wanted to make something 3D (all from scratch), I decided to recreate Kodak’s Pinhole Camera that was distributed to school children in the 1930s, along with a makeshift exposure guide on how to time your photograph depending on lighting conditions. I even integrated the museum card with the manual as well, so everything can be bundled together and not be in multiple pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The photograph shown is deliberately oriented upside down as that is how light actually burns into the photo paper. This image was taken myself using a pinhole camera. Unfortunately, I no longer have a physical copy of it, so this is a printed version.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Note: This artifact should technically be able to work, but I have yet to confirm this since I don’t have light-sensitive paper or access to a dark room. I’m actually thinking of dropping by my high school which has all of the resources I need\u2014I just need to check in with my graphics\/photography teacher. Hopefully, I can update this blog post with a real photo using this pinhole camera!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        I’ve spent about 9 and a half hours from start to finish on this project; from creating box templates and prototypes to meticulously gluing cardstock together, and cutting out said templates, and using super glue and tape to stick things together. I even looked up some architectural tutorials for model making which helped a ton. I’m pretty satisfied with the final outcome, although I wish I could have made it look more weathered down. Another thing I would change is the composition of the photograph I took; I opted for a top-down view to mimick someone looking down at the camera as if they were in a dark room, but because of that I had to deconstruct the camera. I also decided to ditch the idea of having additional photographs because it would become too busy and take away from the example I provided. Due to those points, I would give myself an 8\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
