Christopher Simpson created a project schedule to keep his sidekick design project on track. He spent time developing ideas and gathering references to inform sketches of the sidekick. Simpson reviewed and updated his schedule as planned. He finished required tasks like a lightbot and project charter late. Simpson began modeling objects of the sidekick in Lightwave, importing sketches from Illustrator. It took time to learn Lightwave without tutorials, but he adapted quickly.

Thursday Created my project schedule which I will keep up to date and review every Sunday I also was still creating my lightbot which was very overdue to be complete I feel I should have
7.03.13 created this weeks previously.
Friday I started to put down ideas and get references for my mood board and ideas map which I will continue to add to over the weekend so I have a lot of ideas for my sketches of my
8.03.13 sidekick.
Saturday I continued to add ideas and image references to my mood board and ideas map I feel that I have finished these tasks now.
9.03.13
Sunday I reviewed and updated my project schedule as planned.
10.03.13
Wednesday Finished my Lightbot and produced my Project charter I also started and finished my sketches for my Sidekick, Scanned in my images for my sidekick. This was a very late start for
13.03.13 these tasks; I should have had these done at least 2 or 3 weeks previously.
Thursday Started my Production log and I started to create my sidekick, I started by putting the scanned images in illustrator and taking the difficult to create objects of the sidekick and
14.03.13 drawing them out, I then imported them into Lightwave and modelled them into the shape I wanted. It took me a while to get the hang of using Lightwave without
tutorial/guides but I got used to it pretty quickly.
