Three 3-D designs

I chose this new innovative laptop by Apple. This is the new Apple MacBook Air. I chose this because it is the thinnest notebook on the market at 0.8" thick. This laptop also weighs on 3 pounds. The laptop is so thin that you can place it in an envelope and have all the advantages of big and heavy laptops. This laptop gets the job done as fast as competitors laptops. The big advantage that I like about this design is the fact that it has a great push for travel and business.

This is the new Sony VAIO T5250. This innovative desktop computer eliminates the need for space. It is an all in one computer where what you see is what you have to have space for. There is no seperate tower, but a handy monitor and tower all in one. This is nice for people that have limited space like students in college that use desktops at there apartment or for someone who just doesn't want all the jumble of wires. The keyboard and mouse are both wireless, and the keyboard folds up to protect it from dust and to save space. The clear design around the edge gives the computer a modern feel and could fit into anybodies home

This is the new Nintendo Wii. This is the latest technology on the line at the moment for Nintendo. The sleek space saving design shows how much Nintendo wants to be part of the modern look and feel. This product also uses sensors for its controllers that allow person and game to become one. The use of this motion sensor allows gamers to incorporate the precise movements that they use to complete games. The white clean look also shows me that Nintendo wants to be seen as a pure and clean product. This Nintendo also allows old school gamers to download games like Duck Hunt and Super Mario. I like how Nintendo allows society to have access to all the new games and old games at the same time.

3-D Designs

I choose this ice cream maker because of the cool new invention idea of downsizing the original package.  Its really cool and it makes ice cream faster and it also looks like a hamster ball.  There is a inner metal shell to keep the ice cream cold.  Sweet new way to make ice cream.

I choose this "Meet Bob" clock because i got one for christmas and it was really funny and random.  But its cool because of the way it changes settings, you just hit the side of "bob" and it will change to the temperature, timer, date, or clock.  A cool modern new design for a clock.

I choose this Altoids can because of the cool "little" things it has to offer.  You can push the bottom of the can down and it lifts the opposite end up. A really cool feature.  Also i like the can because after you are done using all of the product you can still use the can for lots of uses.  Its a handy product to put in a car or purse for some quick candy

Assignment 3 - 3D Design

This is a pretty interesting design. It appears to be fairly simple and looks pretty much like a coffee thermos, but it is actually a self-heating package. This is pretty cool for people who are in a hurry and don't want to wait to brew their coffee. I personally don't drink coffee, but I imagine a package like this doesn't help with the "quality" image. Nevertheless, it is still a pretty interesting concept.

This is a package for curry. It looks sort of like an apple sauce package put in a tray. The primary package has two compartments with one lid that is sealed across both of them. The tray that it sits in has a lot of bright colors. The tray really seems kind of unnecessary. I think you could get away with just the primary package and some graphics on the lid. I guess the tray makes the product look a little bit better and attracts more customers.

I thought this package was absolutely ridiculous. I guess this is more of a novelty item than something that is meant to be consumed. I can't imagine the amount of engineering that went into designing the bride and groom metal sleeves for the bottle so that they could actual run on a packaging line. I would have to imagine that these probably aren't put together by machine, and instead by hand. They're pretty interesting and definitely eye-catching though.

A3 - 3D Designs

This package is used for tea bags. The main purpose of this package is to squeeze the tea bag so you can acquire all of the flavor from the tea leaves inside. You could also carry dry teabags inside for future used during the day.

This package is used for delivering mail, more specifically to deliver hazardous diagnostic specimens. It is a tamper evident, rugged traceable, small consignment pack that is a very clever design.

This package is a very unique CD holder made for Microsoft Vista. I like this design the best because not only does it protect the CD and keep it off of the table or ground or whatnot, but it also makes the CD easily visible so you can tell right away what the CD is for.

3-D packaging

Object of this japanese doritos bag is basically saying "Dont mess with my Doritos....or else" or it could be one of those flavor battles. Who knows

This package is called a banana protector and  was to designed to protect someone's bananas, when they put them in a purse or book-bag. If you don't like bruised bananas this is for you.

 

This is a make-up package designed to for a woman's face when it is "stressed and her regular skin care isn't enough". I personally think it looks pretty cool

Assignment 3

The object in this picture is a porch/dock. I found this interesting because I hope to one day own a lake house and I like this design for a dock. You you be a host guest on your porch and come right out and get on your boat. I like the roof on this design. Its curvitures make it appealing to me.

This is a 3D design of what appears to be a dodge viper. As I was looking at designs this one really caught my eye. I like fast cars, and also the looks of this viper. I also thinks its cool that in this picture you can see several different views of the object. http://images.snapfiles.com/screenfiles/ac3d.jpg

This 3d object is that of an army tank. The amount of detail in this recreation is excellent., which is why I found it so interesting. I also like the view at which the object is shown. It allows you to see the top of the tank, its front, and one of its sides. http://www.cg-multimedia.com/Jpg's/Tank/Tank%201.JPG
