Homework Assignment 1

I really like the design of the Nintendo 3DS. Since it is a portable device, it is made to be fairly small mobile. The folding function on it allows it to become more portable than it would be normally, while still retaining the functionality of the overall device. It comes in a variety of colors and styles which is nice, since it allows the owners to select something other than the typical black or white gloss design of other mobile tech devices. The interior button placement and screen set up is great as well, since it is able to be used comfortably, rather than having to sacrifice that aspect for portability, another achievement of the half-fold design of the casing. In general, the design is incredibly clean and functional, which are the two most important aspects of physical product design.
