This document provides an overview of a conceptual models course taken by students Kim Dowd, Chongho Lee, and Scott Sykora, taught by Miso Kim in spring 2011 at Carnegie Mellon University. It outlines the process the students took to develop 3D models, including brainstorming related to islands, narrowing topics to design-focused areas, and exploring how to visually tell stories through the models. Drafts and inspirations for two models are mentioned, focusing on capturing small designer experiences and using pixel art to engage other designers.
