     For this week's assignment I made a detergent bottle. My design concept was mainly based off of the template. I detailed the cap a bit to make the bottle more interesting to look at as well as offset a surface to create a unique shape in the bottle design.

     I started out by using the template to create my main surface. I created a curve for the handle which I then extruded, booleandifferenced into the surface, and filleted the edges. To create the large curve across the surface, I offset an inner curve off of the template, extruded both curves, split the surface with the extrusions, and blended all naked edges. For the cap I created corkscrews by using the video tutorial and added ridges on the outer wall to add more detail to the overall design. To do this I made a very skinny and long cylinder which I arraypolared around the cap to make about 25 cylinders. Then I booleandifferenced all of them into the cap creating ridges along the edge. Each ridge is filleted as well as the top of the cap and the bottom of the bottle.

     The materials I applied are a simple hard shiny plastic. I chose the colors torquoise and gray because they were not as alarming of a color as most detergent bottles are.
