Bricks by the Bay - Day ONE Concludes

 The first Day concluded with very interesting seminars.  

 In the past Windows and Doors have just been whatever LEGO provided.  This presentation showed different techniques for making architectural quality doors and windows.  Designs that have merit and using unique pieces, like muckrakers from car set sets as the frame for a window or door.

As always the LEGO Masters round table was interesting.  Offering their take on the show and how it worked, especially with the COVID restrictions this year.  It was not only informative but highly entertaining.  It is one of the best times of the virtual Bricks by the Bay.

One of the last seminars of the day was on Creativity.  Given by an Industrial Designer with a Masters thesis in creativity, it was quite interesting.  This seminar could have been given to any group of people where creativity is the driving portion of their job.  But since she is also a MOC builder, there was a slant to brick building.  Listening to the seminar, I found that what was discussed is what I normally do, except I do it in a more haphazard process.  The seminar provide a more formal process without impinging on the creativity itself.  This is something I plan to incorporate into my design ideas, not only for LEGO but other projects I am working on.

Looking forward to Day TWO.
