LED PLANTER
For this practical, we were required to create 10cmX10cmx10cm LED herb planter that is ideal for the kitchen environment. The planter is required to have at least 1 curve, and an efficient drainage system.

PLANTER: IDEATION PHASE
for the ideation process of this project, I began by looking at inspiration images for an idea on the shape and overall design. I drew sketches based on my research and inspiration pictures. I decided to go for a design that is modern and relatively simple for both practical and aesthetic purposes.
EXPERIMENTATION AND PROTOTYPING
I began my experimentation by gaging different sizes of planters using cardboard. i decided to choose a smaller, more simple design based on what I liked and disliked about my cardboard prototypes.

FINAL PROTOTYPING:
I struggled quite a bit in cutting and gluing the pieces very straightly during this process. I found it challenging to work neatly and quickly at the same time, as i failed at planning my time efficiently during the final prototyping process of this project. i found that i got frustrated in sticking the pieces together, as it takes much patience to get the pieces to stick together.
I have to redo the potting system as the pots i created did not fit into the container grid that i created for it, in oder to have an efficient drainage system.
