Welcome to the second project assignment of Fall 2014! As the quarter draw near to the end, I will continue to put on new post of the assignments that I've been done and currently undergoing. So please bear with me and you will get to see glimpses of the life of Industrial Design student!
Here's the objection of Surface Assignment below -
For the second assignment, you will learn to control surfaces. The product you are designing is a wooden phone stand. You will be given a limited amount of material with which to build, so planning is essential. There is also a small amount of engineering involved.
For the first part of the assignment, read this article by 10/13:
Design requirements:
- Your design must support a phone (can be your own, or someone else's), in landscape and/or portrait orientation. The phone can be vertical, angled, or horizontal. It can be either in a case or not.
- Your design cannot interfere with the function of the phone in its supported state, i.e. can't block the jacks, display, keys, or speakers you need to access.
- Your design must be made almost exclusively of the material furnished.* You do not need to use all the material, but you should not use more than your allowance.
- Your design must support charging of the phone. There should be either an embedded charging jack or a way for a non-embedded charging jack and cable work with the design. Plan on purchasing at least one extra charging cable (USB-type is fine). I suggest pooling your phone types and doing a group buy on Amazon, where cables are cheap.
- Your design must use surfacing techniques (as in the article linked above and further discussed in class) to create a hierarchy of surface relationships. All edge and surface relationships should be considered and fully resolved.
- Your design should be appropriate for the material used and should demonstrate a reasonably high level of craftsmanship.
* fasteners, hardware, wiring, etc. does not count as material.

FINAL / FINISH
*Note - Type of wood material that I used to make out of was Walnut and I also used Teak oil to stain to give it color.
