Meghan Preiss : Week 4 : Detergent Bottle

My detergent bottle was inspired by the Jetsons television show that aired in the 1960's to the late 1980's. I wanted it to be futuristic yet have a fun appeal. I wanted it to have a deep offset surface because I believe this adds to the futuristic feel. I also created a two step top to the bottle to create a different curve to the bottle.

To create my bottle I started with simple curves and then used a sweep2 to create the shape. I created a curve and extruded it then boolean differenced for the handle. I also created two curves and trimed the inside and then sweep2 to create the offset surface. I filleted every edge. To create the cap I used helix and boolean difference.

My materials were all hard plastics. I chose to use a rough gray for the main part of the bottle.I chose to use two different colors for the main pops of color to show that this brand comes in different scents/kinds of detergent. I used hard rough red and hard rough lime green to create a fun pop of color. In addition, to extend the pop of color I used a hard shiny tangerine and a hard shiny deep cer. I am really pleased with my color choices and how my bottles turned out.
