Process & Procedure

Outline your approach to the project? What ideas did you generate and how did you refine or reject them? What did you research and explore? what were the design choices? What challenges were encountered and how did you resolve them?

I decided to make them flat so they are not bulky against the neck and a tiny bit weighted so they can balance on someone’s neck without being too heavy. I drew out a couple top-view shapes to consider which would fit around one’s neck best, and chose option 3 (see drawing above). This one seemed like the curves made the most sense.1 seemed like an uncomfortable choker, 2 seemed like it splayed out too much and would be un-balanced, and 4 would definitely fall off. I drafted an appropriate shape, extruded it, and created slits towards the ends for the earphones to sit in.
