Soma Cube Design

We were given the challenge of creating a soma cube. A soma cube consists of a multiple geometric shapes that fit into a three by three cube. The requirements of the cube consists of five pieces, each piece no more than six cubes, no two pieces should be the same, and the whole cube should consist of twenty-seven little cubes. I have created two designs in which both fit all of the requirements.

To figure out how all of the pieces fit together without actually having the piece in hand, I used a simple technique. First off I drew the cube as a whole. Then I proceeded to draw in each piece into the cube as if it were already assembled.

Phone Stand

Phone Stand Concept

My phone stand design is basically a plastic phone case with a simple stand in the back. The stand was inspired by a photo frame stand in which the user can utilize it in either a portrait or landscape orientation. This can be achieved by adding a hinge on the back angled at 45 degrees. This will make it so that when the stand flips out it can easily prop up the phone in any orientation. The phone stand will also be flush with the case when closed to prevent unnecessary bulk to the phone.
