Design Project: 

 Drawing equipment Organization for GW3

The Problem:  

 The work table in GW3 has multiple uses. When projects are being built, there are wooden boxes that can hold the tools so that the work space is not cluttered. When design work is being done, however, like coloring with markers or color pencils or sketching with pencils and erasers, there is no organizational aid.

Design Statement: 

Design and construct a system of organizing drawing equipment for the work tables in gw3

Constraints:

1.     It must hold 20 pencils upright

2.    It must hold 12 markers upright

3.    It must have corners that are 90 degree angles only

4.    It must be made using butt joints and lap joints

5.    It must be made of the following materials:

·         Foam core

·         Luan plywood

·         Hot glue and/or construction adhesive

·         Cardboard

6.    The design should follow the principles and elements of good design

7.    It must be built to last all this year

8.    The “foot print” of the design should not exceed 6” x 6”

9.    It must be completed by the end of October
