PORCU CD HOLDER
PORCU CD Holder is an easy to set-up CD Holder. It is inspired and modeled after porcupines, as is seen by its shape. For this project I chose to make this because I want to make something that I can use, and not only me -- I want people from all ages to be able to use it as well. I made the shape looks modern and contemporary, yet make it subtle and classic as well, using tinted-black colored perspex. I want the CD arrangement to look elegant when put in the CD holder, that's why I made it so that the CD can have different height arrangement.
I chose perspex for the material because I want it to have that tinted/ transparent look so that when each parts are slotted, it's gonna look better than if I'm using solid color. I wanted to use MDF, but then it's gonna look cheap compared to perspex, and it wouldn't be able to have that transparent look. I chose black because black goes with everything in almost everyone's house, and I personally like the color as well.
The shape is chosen because for my last project (Experience Enrichment) I already did a butter dish which resembles a toaster, so for this project I want to try to make something more elegant and abstract, yet is inspired by something. I want it to have curves, but not alot of them, so that it is still elegant, and is visually beautiful when seen with CDs in them.
It's made so that it's easy for people to set-up, because there's nothing more pleasurable for people than being able to set up their gift just in a matter of second and able to display it beautifully--and is functional as well.
For the packaging, instead of a normal C4 envelope, I want the receiver to know that this is a special gift so a special envelope is used as well.

This is a great design. It reminds me of a fish bone. I like how you angled the form and gave it a modern look. i think the gaps between the CD is big so there is a possibility that CD fall.
I like the originality of your design. It is a little bit abstract but it produced a good function. The sharp edge might be too fragile and you might improve it by making it smoother without losing its masculinity.
The design and shape of the cd rack is quite different and unique and the use of perspex makes the product look more elegant. The only thing I would say to you is that maybe you should have made more cd slots so that you can store more cds.
mmm fish bones
it's simple 2 pieces and it works
perhaps the joint between the cd slot and the leg could be more... roomy? so it doesn't look too fragile at that part...
Your prototype is very neat and it looks very cute as well. However I think that some people may own more than a few CDs.
