My beloved tea kettle becomes inspiration for pen design

I purchased this electric tea kettle for its wonderful features. It heats up the water and will keep it hot if I decide. It does all this in half the time of stove top kettles. It looks sleek and matches my other appliances. It encourages me to have more water by making it easier to make hot and iced tea. So it even improves my health by increasing my water intake. I love to see it, use it and share it with others.

The assignment to design a pen based on our favorite product started this quest. Drawings and prototype(s) to follow.

10 examples of wallets

For our everyday object we selected the wallet or billfold. The constraints that define this object are that it is defined by the scale of paper bills, credit cards and ID cards, and occasionally coins. Wallets for men are generally scaled to be carried on the body in a pocket whereas women's wallets are generally scaled to be carried in a purse or bag or as an individual "small purse." The primary function of the object is to carry money and credit cards and personal ID cards. The main differences in the wallets are materials--leather, plastic, nylon, faux leather, and cloth. The other difference among the wallets we looked at was size. Some wallets tend to be more utilitarian in their design--simply made and lacking ornamentation, while others are signs of wealth or fashion--both in scale and material. Another difference among the wallets we looked at was how they folded and clasped together. Some wallets simply fold while others have snaps or a band to hold them shut.
