Thank you very much!  Took me an absolute age to do!  It looks worth it I still feel as though i could have put more effort in though and made it better.  Ahh well! Will have to just try harder on this project!  |

You didn't happen to do it on the day before it was due in did you? I do that with most coursework Hannibal.  It's the only way i can force myself into doing it. |

Done a (crude) mood board, and i have ProDesktop. Made this stadium last year on it!  Although, rest assured i will be asking for help in the near future, with the deadline looming!  Good stuff. Well in that case i'd have a muck about with different shapes on there and print them off and trace them sketch wise (Believe me, there is no shame in that at all, we were encoraged to do this at degree level) Apple products seem to have a nice roundess about them, they don't have sharp edges and the shape of their design seem to be quite symetrical all round. You know you could even design the speakers to look like a bigger ipod and then there is space whereby to fit the actual iPod in place. |

To be honest, as much as i want to develop something like you said, ideally i just need to develop something simple. In the lesson we have barely anytime with the teacher (not his fault, just too many nagging kids needing his help) so i really want something that won't need too much assistance so i can actually get it done. The next thing i need to do is create the picture for the packaging. I don't have Photoshop so am having to use Gimp. Hopefully that will work just as well. Any ideas as to illustrations on the packaging? I'm thinking really basic, kind of like current Apple packaging. |

Any ideas as to illustrations on the packaging? I'm thinking really basic, kind of like current Apple packaging. Yeah i would keep it simple. Thats not to say it can't be innovative like but aestheticly, i wouldn't go nuts cluttering it up with text and colour and all that malarky. Close up images of the product would be cool with maybe the use of one word per image that link in with the product and Apple on the whole. |

Third one definitely the best, one way to develop it though, is how would it stand? First one is too big and chunky if ya get my drift. Second ia bit dull!! Good effort though mate, much better than anything i've ever done or could do in DT!! |
