This week, Junru and I collaborated on the creation of a moon dial. Our goal was to design a tool for tracking the changes in moon phases.
We accessed historical, current, and expected data on moon phases from the Moongiant website. Based on the data for the current month, we decided to create a moon dial.
Our concept involves using a rotating axis to represent the various phases of the moon, with the hollowed-out sections indicating the moon phase(illuminated portions). Sketches created in Illustrator are below for reference.
Final Prototype:
Our class on the day is 26 Sep, and the Moon Festival will happen on 29 Sep which is the Full Moon as the moondial shown.
