According to the creative problem solving profile we did in lecture today, my top 2 categories are "generating" and "conceptualization"then "evaluation and finally, thinking. I'd say these are pretty accurate.

I'm not so good at this whole sketching thing. 
I'd rather be photographing, but at least this is a good challenge :]
I just hope I continue to improve!

why my object has good design


    I believe my skeleton key has good design because it is unobtrusive, aesthetic, long lasting, and         understandable.
           
    It is unobtrusive because, it is a very simple item, the user does not need to add anything to it or make any changes. It is aesthetic in that is visually appealing; most keys today are “cookie cutter”, they all look the same and have similar design. This one is vintage and unique. My object is long lasting because it is made of a very sturdy metal and is meant to last for a lengthy amount of time. As a key, it is meant to serve a utility purpose. Finally, it is understandable because it serves a very common function that hopefully everyone can figure out.

    In conclusion, I think my class object possess good design and will prove to be a successful one.
