3D Object Design

Most of the function, form, and user experience are mentioned in the photo so I'll just be covering what Dieter Rams mentions for what makes a good product. Concept #1 is: innovative, aesthetic, honest (?), consistent in detail Concept #2 is: innovative, useful, aesthetic, understandable, honest, consistent in detail, environmentally friendly (can probably be made from recyclable materials)  Concept #3 is: innovative, useful, honest, unobtrusive, long-lived, consistent in detail Concept #4 is: useful, understandable, honest, unobtrusive, long-lived, little design as possible Concept #5 is: innovative, useful, unobtrusive, long-lived Concept #6 is: innovative, useful, aesthetic, understandable, honest, consistent in detail. ____________________________________________________________________ I chose to move forward with concept two as it was my favorite of the concepts I made and you gave me some good advice on how to move forward with it. I knew Id have to adjust it quite a bi...

The hourglass itself kind of gives a steampunk vibe or a dark academia aesthetic and with the added beams that twist around itself the form may look twisted or wonderland-esque.

In the end you helped out but it was still good advice regardless. The base he...
