Design Project

1.) The challenge presented to us was to design a desk organizer that is
made up of atleast 5 different parts. Then we would put the 5 different
parts into one part to make a final desk organizer. My partner is Drew Maracle

2.) I decided to choose this design brief because it interested me in what i could personally come up with as a desk organizer. It was fun putting this together in the CAD software system and i am glad that i chose this one to work on.


3.) Step one in the design process was easy. We knew the problem was making it the correct size and have variety so it could hold different supplies.
-Step 2 was a little more difficult. We decided to brainstorm on a simple device that would get the job done, and thats when we came up with our design.
-Step four in the process made our job difficult though. We had to make it atlesat 5 seperate pieces, and the pieces couldnt be that big. Thats why we decided to do boxes all the same size with different designs on each of them.
-Step 12 of the process was fun. I got the oppurtunity to communicate my results to my teacher and show him what i have put together. He said my project worked out and it wasnt a bad design, it was excactly what i wanted to hear because those words meant that my desk organizer passed.


4.) 3 images of our prior images that we might have gone with::


This first image is a desk organizer that we came up with. It involves a ring with seperate organizers on the ring. You would be able to spin this around to acquire different things from each box.




This was our second design for our desk organizer. This involves having a door on the side and two triangle doors, also with a curved door for optimal space.

This was another design that we implemented which included having 5 seperate desk drawers connected by bars in which u could ultimately open up any door and get whatever you needed.
