My flashlight is inspired by the innocence and "light that goes along with being a child." When I think about flashlights I think of little kids making hand shadow animals, telling scary stories with the flashlight held under their chins with lit, smiling faces. I picture children chasing each other with them in a game of hide and seek or manhunt. Besides the actual activities kids use flashlights for, children are often referred to as "the light of their parents life" and that children "light up the world." Its the innocent, magical nature that makes them so bright and pure like light.

I thought it was only fitting to do a flashlight for a child. In my design I used space as a theme. The button for the light is a spaceship and surrounding the whole flashlight there are indents and extrusions of stars and planets. Since innocence and children are a big theme in my design I though that there is nothing more magical then being able to fly among the stars and discover the unknown.

I chose to make the surface of the flashlight a bold blue because children are fearless and very brave and bold. The rocket ship however is metal, glass and plastic because its that magical adventure aspect which I felt deserved more detail.
In my design I used boolean difference, extrude curve, copy, rotate, mirror etc..
