Shameka Browne-Heskey: Week 10: Camera: The Snap Savvy

Ghosted image painted black

The green power light lets you know when the camera is on/ in use.

The side button only works when the front-facing camera is in use.

I wanted to have a sleek and slender design. I also wanted to add a front-facing camera, and have a shutter button that also operates as a power button.This camera is also touch screen and comes with flash, which makes it ideal for the modern-day selfie-lovers!

The basic shapes are rectangles with cylinders, and some of the rectangles have rounded edges (the screen and the front lens). The base cylinder was blended with the camera's body to add a seamless touch. The corners of the camera and the lens edges are slightly filleted. Lastly, both the side and top shutter buttons were made using the offset surface command.

I used scratched copper for the base of the lens and polished copper for the shutter buttons, because I liked that it had a rose gold effect. The body of the camera and the lens are made of anodized rough black metal.
