Final Idea and sketches,

The design I chose to be my final design was number *two. The idea of the top covering the sides, the simpleness of it. My original thoughts for this project was to not fully or massively change the style of the laptop, but change only a few ares. The shape of the laptop is recognisable, sold but with subtle differences. There is no need to make the laptop so elaborate for it to lose its ability to function the best it can. The "letters" on the the cover give that fun, fresh and different taste to the idea, also when the laptop is shut, and in a bag it just looks like letters and papers, this was an area I wanted to achieve as it gives a sense of security for the owner. The pale background gives a gentle feel, less harsh of the cold greys/blacks and silvers of laptops around. The covering of the sides gives it a small change yet looks quirky. And as the 1950's era was a big theme for this, the quirkiness works well. As for the buttons, (even though not portrayed to their in the sketches) are more curves, better lettering and easier for the user to use. The inspiration was that of the typewriting keys on a standard typewriter. Again only a subtle change, yet one that makes it unique.
