Today's design class examined design from the point of view of functionality. We passed round three water-jugs; examined them aesthetically and also poured water from one to another. The classic, honest (Woolworth's) jug was hopeless as a pouring vessel. Spilled everywhere. Then working in pairs, we designed something that we thought would work.
The winning one (mine and Orietta's) will allegedly be made and auctioned off in order to raise money for our exhibition revels. It wasn't so much a design as a negotiated effort based on trading features each of us liked. I wanted a blue swirl to represent water and she wanted a reflective disk to play with the light.
