looking at the different variations of current mp3 devices, I have found a wide range of designs that can aid in the design of my 3D model. I need to consider the design of the player in order to achieve good movement when it comes to animation.



Above are four of the more popular designs, obviously the Apple iPod and iPod Nano are one of the most recognisable music players of recent years and most likely the more popular. Both players feature smooth rectangular design with large screens and touch sensitive scrolling wheels. These type of player would be good to model within 3D due to the simple design but also the opportunity to create a character from an object, for example place a face on the screen, give it arms and legs etc.
Same goes for the 'Creative' player this too features the same design styles as the iPod's. The fourth image shows a Sony MP3 Player this time the players design is that of cylinderical shape with other cylinderical attahchments. This could also easily be developed into a character of sorts.
I need to now come up with design ideas of a player or perhaps an altered design of an existing object that can be animated and built within 3D.
