This is my final board for A02. I struggled with designing this board, because fitting the desired diagrams and renderings together, in proximity to one another was difficult. After changing the layout from horizontal to vertical, I decided to stay with this layout, as it describes the direction of the contours and the way they come together. 

Throughout the construction of this project, I ran into a number of issues. Creating the notches in the layers was difficult, and after constructing the physical model I learned a number of things I would have done differently. First of all, the notches should be designed so that the perpendicular layer fits in tightly- this means that the dimension of the notch and of the chipboard should not be exactly the same. In addition, if both layer directions had notches, the final model would probably come out sturdier, and have evenly spaced layers. Overall, this project helped me learn many factors that are very important when translating from digital fabrication to physical modeling.
