Desktop Organizer
Design an organizer for a desk, draw it well enough that someone else could build it, then build it out of foam board. Your first project in this course, and the one that teaches the drawing conventions you will use all year.
What you hand in
Four pieces of work, in this order. Each one feeds the next, so doing them out of order makes the later ones harder.
Case Study
Pick four real desktop organizers. Invent your own rating criteria and compare them. Find out what actual buyers say.
Concept Sketches
At least three genuinely different design ideas, each with its own sketch. More is better.
Elevations & Perspective
Top, front and side — each on its own sheet at 1:1, dimensioned, with its own title block. Plus one two-point perspective drawing.
Model Build
Build it in foam board and hot glue, at full size, working from your own drawings.
Everything lives in your notebook except the drawings. The three elevations go on three separate sheets — one view each, at full size — and the perspective drawing gets a fourth, so you can use a T square and triangle properly.

Past work from this class
Three organizers built by THS students in previous years. Notice how different they are from each other — that is the point.
