Concepts of Paper Vessel

 

We chose coffee beans (I didn't have any on hand)



The object we chose was coffee beans, and a stovetop coffee pot was mentioned when we were brainstorming. On my own, I was thinking of things coffee would be in, hence the mug, but I thought it would be funny to have coffee packaged in a tea bag, so that's where that idea came from.

As for openings and how things would close, I came up with using how a teapot keeps the lid from falling as inspiration for the pot where it'll have two taps that line up and when you twist the lid, it'll lock. I also had a thought of having a second compartment in the bottom to put coffee filters or something in there but I'm not sure how to get it to close reliably, and that's two objects, so I'm not sure if we can do that. For the tea bag I originally just wanted it to be tight enough to stay closed and open when you swished the sides, but with it being made out of paper, I think that would be a one-use thing or just not work. Lastly the cup, I struggled with figuring out how this would open and close but I eventually just settled on a simple tab idea. 



Great concepts my teammate came up with 







final project

Hollow Form Concept's

          1)  It's essentially just an hourglass but I thought it would be cool. I twisted the pegs to make it more interesting and an attempt of adding more support, but I'm not sure if it'll print because of the slopes in the center, speaking of getting that center part how I wanted it was a struggle.               2)      This one was essentially just a product of figuring out the commands, on concept one I was trying to use bend to do what twist does which was getting me nowhere, after I eventuality figured that out I messed around with twist for this model.            3) I tried to focus more on if the model would print successfully for this one, as while I did have if it'll print in the back of my mind while making the other two I'm not confident they won't fail, hence this one.           4) I went into this model with a jack-in...

Coat Hanger: Concept Ideas (Updated)

Image
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...

A Castle

Image
  This is a small castle that can most likely house just a few people. Though that's probably for the best, because of the excessive towers I don't think there's many people who would want to put up with the amount of stairs it would have.
