Innovative MP3 Player Case Design for Active Music Lovers
This project explores the design thinking process to create a protective case for MP3 players aimed at running enthusiasts. The case must be lightweight, durable, and feature a unique, non-black aesthetic inspired by classic and alternative rock themes. Elements such as a removable, easy-to-clip belt design and the use of innovative materials like rubber and aluminum are prioritized to ensure functionality and style. The project adheres to a budget of under $20 while capturing the essence of iconic bands. It also serves as a learning tool for AutoCAD and Inventor program usage.
