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.
