Ensure the house is open concept
MY DESIGN GOALS
Provide a safe space for the cardinal
Incorporate bird food
MY CLIENT
The Northern Cardinal typically weighs between 1.5 - 2 oz. Typically they are known for their bright red feathers however the women are typically more dull than the males are. Cardinals love seeds especially sunflower seeds. I knew I wanted to do a suet feeder due to this fact. However standard feeders aren’t colorful mainly because birds are used to a natural color palette, however cardinals are attracted to colors such as red blue and green. I took this information and tried to develop the best of both worlds to create an inviting and safe environment for my target audience
Taking my drawings from 2D to 3D really helped me visualize a new perspective on structural integrity and helped me visualize how the different components would come together. I then proceeded to really start to think about materials and how they would impact the overall design

My cross section drawing really helped me grasp the understanding of how the pieces will connect together!
