For the design of my camera I wanted to do something fun and playful since most of my other designs for the class have been more mature and serious. I started by creating the general shape of the jelly been by altering the control points of an ellipsoid. I then added the lens by starting with a cylinder, projecting a slightly larger curve onto the surface of the jelly bean, splitting it, and then blending it. This was the workflow that I used through the majority of the project. I enjoyed playing with the tangency and curvature of the blend surface command to get a more interesting shape.
For the materials I went with hard shiny plastics to give it an appeal to a younger audience as well as making it durable. The black parts are rubber to help get a better grip. And lastly with the lens and back viewing screen I used a highly reflective hard plastic to give it the reflection as well as durability.
Put a picture in the viewfinder and you are done
