Objectified Response


   This is a desk I designed.  One major theme I saw in the movie was the idea of taking something you normally use and redesigning it to achieve the specific task better.  I felt that my own desk I use at home was very busy, in that there were protrusions coming from the desk that limited the amount of space I had to work with. There are two drawers on top of the desk and an elevated platform that rests on top of the drawers.  It was never a problem before, but since I've started studying at ACAD my desk has become useless for most of the work I do.
   I wanted to use very little space on the desk with extras so I tried to keep things very simple.  I angled the desk to create a better environment for drawing and typing.  I added a stop for pens or pencils because the desk is angled and a stop on the end of it so it won't slide off as easily.  A hole in the top right was added for cords to go through. There is also a level surface in the top left to put something on it, like a lamp or a water bottle.  I feel this design would help people who want just a simple desk with none of the clutter on top so they could utilize a lot more space.
