Process + Procedure

Most keyholders I've had in the past were purely functional and lacked personality. When I was researching, there were a few that were fun and played around with the visual form of a keyholder, but nothing I personally wanted to purchase. 

By customizing my keyholder, I was able to customize it to be a better representation of myself and interests. I love the peace sign because it's something thrown up by most cultures to communicate a sense of playfulness. For the bottom, I wanted symbols that represented my interest and passion for design. I wanted simple shapes that were distinct groups but had the potential to create interesting patterns when layered on top of one another. 

To create my sketch, I simply drew out the components separately and then moved to Fusion to create my model. Creating the "x" to fit perfectly into the extruded rectangle is not perfect at present even though I went through an iteration and printed it twice. The width of the crosses are exactly the same size or the intersection is just right, while the ends of the "x" are too short. For this, I'd redesign it such that I create two separate rectangles instead of importing the icon as an SVG file.
