creating a fancy album box- objectified

 After two hours of watching the documentary, I feel quite inspired. The term design never really sinks in with me beforehand because I always think of it as a generic term that is used to describe something well done. Well, this documentary got me thinking a lot more than that. To sum it up, I now know that a great design is not something cool or fancy, but rather something that is environmentally friendly and intuitive to use, just like Jonathan Lve (apple designer) said, "a good designed product is so understandable that it couldn't be any other way." 

now to move on to my own creation 

I choose to make a album box that was design by a Japanese designer called Naoto Fukasawa 

simply because my attention was capture  when the music that was playing along inside the documentary was coming from this album box. 

To start the project, I made a bevelled box with a sphere cut-out in the center to make the rough general shape for the socket that everything is eventually gonna fit in.

Then I created the disc that I am going to use to socket into the hole. The process of making the disc was just a rinse and repeat of copying the disc itself and shrinking it down in size to achieve the lining in order to give it more of a disc look.

refining the color and the disc itself

after which I socket the disc into the carve and beveled box by using align tool and shift-right click

adding on a cylinder to finally creating the illusion of tucking the disc in place

next I created a outfit for the box so it doesn't seem so one dimensional

         after that is done I copied the cylinder and rotate it horizontally to create a socket hole for pulling the string

and lastly  refining the socket for the string by duplicating the cylinder again 

here is the final product from far away
