Mass/Creative and functional design: Toy, Game, or Invention

Assignment: You are to design and create a three-dimensional toy, game or invention along with the three-dimensional packaging. Does it need directions? What about advertising for your toy? Is your product market ready? Could your design be easily mass produced? TREAT THIS LIKE A MOCK-UP TO A POTENTIAL BUYER. The program “google sketch up” is a 3d modeling program that is pretty simple to use and is a free download—this could be very helpful when doing your packaging. http://sketchup.google.com/download/ .
Your mission, along with the above, is to employ the formal design elements and mass in your design. Does your design have the capability of being touched or felt tactically?
Do not just think about remaking someone else’s design but come up with a design that has your own unique design characteristics. DO NOT JUST MAKE A CHARACTER FROM A MOVIE, VIDEO GAME OR popular culture. If you come up with an invention, it does not necessarily have to work, but your 3-D design should be believable.
Your design may be any material and scale should be considered in relationship to your target audience.Remember time management. You will be graded daily on your process as well as your final design. Do not come to class unprepared. Your grade will be affected.
