This is one of my sketches exploring some possible forms for a portable radio device. The shape is similar to a watch but attaches just behind the wrist a bit like a flexible bangle. I'm trying to figure out how to incorpate all the internals but still keep a nice flowing form.
At the moment the speaker is inset at the top with a round LCD screen wrapping around it with a clear plastic ring that protects it. My idea is to incorpate lighting into this ring to make the selection of radio stations quicker and more interactive.

i like it dude, i tried to make something like this for a camera last semester, when it comes to making the modle it's going to be a real pain, think pretty hard about how the thing will hinge and work, because i didn't, and it mucked me up good.
Yeah your right about the complexity thing, i am aiming to simplify the design once i have come up with a solid style and shape and figured out where the internals will sit, so it doesnt hav so many groves etc. Thanks for the advice.
I like the curves in this sketch because they create organic contours that add to the overall value. Although your sketch is a rough draft and is a bit messy (in my opinion) I like your approach and the drawing can very well illustrate the idea in your head. In my opinion the perspectives are holding the drawing back instead of helping it create a more natural feel.

the design looks heaps better than what i saw in class, its evolved alot, maybe try an incorpirating some form of lock, so the station and volume doesnt change when moving????
