I opted to choose a hook that can be drilled or stuck onto the wall instead of the stand and handing door hook,  since this would be easier to 3D print while maintaining structural integrity of the hook to hold heavier items of clothing. I wished to include the budding flower and natural aesthetic from concept as well to give it more interest. 


I may develop this further by adding ridges to indicate the petals of the flower bud, as well as two leaves extending out of either side so there is extra handing space.

Llama Package Design Concept

-
Image
Item Chosen For Packaging  To begin creating a unique package, our team brainstormed ideas for items that could act as the product or content of the package. From there, we considered what packages would best suit this item. Below is an image of the object chosen by our group, a miniature Llama. Our team member KK photographed the item alongside a ruler to better understand the llama's size.  Designs for Package While discussing package design ideas, our team member OZ created the preliminary sketches for the package. The sketch was inspired by a llama package that would "give birth" to the miniature llama in the picture above. Images of llama pinata designs inspired the outside of the llama package. The back portion of the llama is a detachable piece that can be pulled out and holds the miniature llama. The interior of the package would have anatomical drawings of the female llama's reproductive organs, as well as paper structures attached to give the impression of a...

Coat Hook Without Installation

-
Image
When envisioning the perfect coat hook, ideally, it would require little to no installation without needing to drill a hole into the wall. So, I have focused on some designs of coat hooks that can be either self-supporting or can be hung on existing fixtures or structures in one's household.    Here, I designed a tree-inspired coat hook stand with a sturdy base and multiple hook options. Users can hook their coat directly on the "curved branches" of the stand, or they can attach the additional hooks to the bottom curvature of the "branches" for additional storage using hangers or the additional hooks themselves. There are upper protrusions at the top of the stand to hang hats or smaller articles of clothing. This coat stand has hooks attached to a revolving top structure that allows the user to effortlessly spin for easy removal and storage of their coats while avoiding any overlapping of coats and having coats falling over when the rack gets too full. There is ...
