For this project I inspired by the Classic Macintosh mouse which was square. I decided I wanted to do something that was similar to that design but with the curves of a mouse of today. I wanted to create a mouse that was simple that all generation could relay to and use with out all those advanced boutons.

For the construction of the mouses main shell I used curved surfaces that I mirrored and then rotated, I then used trims and sweeps to create ridges and buttons on the main surface. this created a lot of naked ages that I had to fix using join edges or some more sweeps to replace parts that broke.

The materials that were used for this project were all plastics. I wanted to keep the colors simple to limit confusion of its use. I used black and white for the main pieces of the mouse, but then added that red after all which really brings out the boutons.
