For my design project, I decided to experiment with the usual styrofoam glue and hardener combination, but with a twist. I added a color masterbatch to the solution and mixed the colors before the solution solidified. The resulting product was simply stunning. It had an expensive, glazed appearance that was sure to catch everyone's attention. As a student, I was particularly thrilled with this achievement, as it demonstrated that we could produce high-quality work on a tight budget.
I found it pleasing that I didn't have to shell out a significant amount of money to create a bottle that could outshine the ones depicted in the immortal hero novels or dramas. It was a relief to know that I could achieve the same level of excellence at a much lower cost.
As a high school student, I possess a strong passion for design and reading. The exhilarating process of brainstorming and bringing various products to life gives me a tremendous amount of energy and satisfaction. Drawing inspiration from the fictional scenes and stories in novels, I masterfully blend and weave them into my own unique designs.
From a young age, I've always been an avid reader with an affinity for various types of novels, particularly historical and light novels. However, there is one genre that has continuously captured my imagination - stories about immortal heroes. What sets these novels apart is the incorporation of an intriguing element - the bottle. While the bottle itself seem unremarkable at first glance, it adds a sense of enigma and thrill to the story. The bottle could be empty, or it could be filled with treasure that has the power to transform a person's life. This unique element of the immortal hero culture serves as a double surprise, keeping readers engaged and eager to discover what lies ahead. In this project, the key elements that have significantly influenced me are the bottle and the flame depicted on it. The bottle represents the realm of the unknown, and the flame on it symbolizes the feeling of anticipation that one might experience before opening it.
