Final TinkerCAD Model 1 - Non Technological Version 

Final TinkerCAD Model 2 - Technological Version 

Description of Model 1 

Model 1 is the non - technological model, it is the phone holder that has no techy or electronic abilities. Its only abilities are to hold your phone and hold your earphones, hence the price. The white paraboloid is used to wrap your earphones around so they don't get tangled and you don't waste time having to untangle them, resulting in a frustrated person. I used boxes to create the phone stand and placed parts on the sides to make sure the phone is secure and safe and especially won't fall and break. The dangling heart is to add a pop of colour and decoration, but of course if the customer doesn't want to add it then he/she can take it off. Model 1 can also be attached to the wall or furniture so it doesn't take up so much space - this was requested by one of my peers. This model is suitable for every phone, e.g. Apple, Android, Microsoft, Sony etc.

Description of Model 2 

Model 2 is the techy - electronic version of the phone holder. This version can tell the time, hold your phone, hold your earphones and play music so it's like a speaker and phone holder merged together. The first yellow button is the switch on/off, then the doughnut round thing is for the volume, so you can turn it up or turn it down by twisting the button. The other buttons are for  the music and changing the music option and again the white paraboloid is used to wrap the earphones around so they don't get tangled. As well the phone holder place is secured with extra parts on the sides and in the bottom of the holder so the phone doesn't slip off and fall to the ground.

Overall Reflection 

I am really proud of my designs and how they both turned out although I actually prefer model 1 - in my opinion it turned out better and it looked more like my original design. Model 2 was indeed harder to create because of all the detail that I had to pay attention to, all the buttons that were in my hand drawn design had to go onto the TinkerCAD creation, which I must admit was harder than I had thought. Therefore model 2 doesn't exactly look like my original design (the hand-drawn one). I couldn't exactly re-create my idea of model 2 onto TinkerCAD because of the lack of shapes and capability I had on using TinkerCAD, I feel like if I had practiced or completed more lessons on TinkerCAD, my design could've been more complex and it would've looked more interesting. However it wasn't a complete and total failure because it did have things on it that I planned in the beginning and it doesn't look very very different from my original idea. The design still has many things that I wanted it to have, for example, it still shows the time, you can still play music from it, the shape has remained the same and earphones can still be wrapped around the white paraboloid.

Model 1, on the other hand, resembles my design perfectly, I feel like I succeed into creating the phone holder exactly how I wanted it to look like in my head. It has got all the details that my sketch has, and I even managed to add the little heart decoration onto it. Model 1 has the place to put your phone, it has the place the wrap your earphones and you can even hang/ stick it to a wall, desk etc. Exactly how I imagined it! This model has met all my specifications and makes me really happy to say that when I showed some of my peers, they said that if it were ever to go out on the shelves of shops, they would buy it. The only thing that is different from my design is the decoration/addition that I wanted to add to the phone holder. In my sketch, I wanted the decoration/addition to be zodiac signs but unfortunately I couldn't get any so my plan B was to opt for a pretty shape instead. So after deciding between heart and diamond, I finally came to the conclusion that my choice was going to be the heart, hence the heart on the picture above.
