Project 1 Self Critique 

As you can see, my model is a macbook pro. I took a total of 2 days to complete it. although it doesn't look as appealing as the actual macbook pro, i did try my best. basically, the tools i used were Booleans>Difference and beveling. i would have to say that The most tedious part would definitely have to be the keyboard as I had to difference the keys one at a time, aligning them with the image plane. in addition to that, i stumbled upon a problem while doing it. the difficulty i faced was having to difference a certain button which resulted in the whole keyboard turning flat. There would no longer be any holes. for instance, my top and right arrow keys. I just added two cubes in after completing everything so it is not as one piece with the keyboard. also, i had difficulties combining all the parts together as the size didn't match and some of the corners were not able to fit in. despite my difficulties in creating this model, there is One thing i like about my model and that would have to be the screen as I find the transparency very useful. this is because the resemblance of the screen to the actual macbook pro screen is uncanny. unfortunately, I wasn't able to model the inner smaller parts in the USB cable port as it wasn't visible.
