Desk Tidy Design Brief and Ideas

Recently we went over the design brief for our next task. We are to design and make a desk tidy to suit our own reeds. After the design brief we went on a tour of the workshop and went over the machines we can use to make our desk tidy. These include a strip heater, for bending the acrylic in a certain spot, the oven, which makes the acrylic easy to bend. We can also use spade bits to drill holes in the acrylic, rather than regular drills which would crack it.

We have also started ideating. There are many colours that we can choose from, and I have decided on either red or black. Some of the things I need to store in my desk tidy are my keys, USB, headphones, phone, coins and some pens and pencils. I'm not sure on what design I'll use to make this yet, but I do have several ideas. Hopefully I will finalize my design before next week so that I can start in the workshop before the term ends (:
