BRAINSTORM
DESIGN INVESTIGATION
I like this design because of the wood
I don’t like how simple it is
I like how it looks with the patterns and the waxing
It’s probably too hard to make
DESIGN INVESTIGATION
Looks really detailed
But its probably gonna be hard to cut the edges
Looks simple and it’s traditional
the string might be a challenge to put on
DESIGN INVESTIGATION
Like how complex but also cool it looks
though it’s probably hard to make and put small details in
I like the colours and also cause it’s the flag of NZ
might be hard to paint the stars or small details
