Green Gifting Process
Initial sketches :
Card Models: First I made a model to work out proportions and different angles of elevation.
Then I made the actual lengths of the casing, giving it different heights for the pen holders.
Aluminium extrusion : I decided to give it a brushed finish, to give it a better look, and reduce scratches. This was done with sandpaper in a straight motion.
The caps at the ends can be removed to be used as a pencil case. I tested how much could fit within the casing. The cap was hard to put back on, as it was only a strip of rubber. I would have preferred a moulded cap, but I did not have the time for it. This would have resulted in a better model and fit.

Weekly Progress Report 2 : Green Gifting
Peer 1 - Hyunjin Kim
Solid idea as it has a large market to serve to, since everyone uses laptops for uni and work. Provides several modes of use, which is good, because it means less products for several tasks that otherwise would have been done by purchasing more products.
Peer 2 - Steven Hermawan
Good product for having in the bag, since most students will carry a pencil case, it won't add anymore bulk and won't take up space that would have already been taken. All the materials have a purpose, and aren't chosen, just because. Maybe consider the middle joining mechanism to be different.
Tutor Feedback - Tom Marlay
Good idea as it has many environmentally friendly aspects, with its many electricity saving knock down effects. Which all starts from taking stress off the internal components of the laptop, therefore extended battery life, meaning less charging from the wall, and all the long term effects etc. Consider using existing aluminium extrusion off cuts to further emphasise the green aspect.
