Design Tips - Cubes, Spheres, Cylinders & Cones


Draw a square with four equal straight sides and four right angles. Turn it into a cube:  a symmetrical, three-dimensional shape contained by six equal squares. Then sketch a circle with it's circumference equidistant from a central point. Modify it to make a sphere with the shape of a ball or a globe. Outline a rectangle with unequal adjacent sides. Alter it to make a cylinder with parallel sides and a circular opening. Then trace a triangle with its three straight sides and three angles and have it mutate into a cone that tapers from a circular base to a point.

Shapes are the building blocks of objects and design. Take a square. Add some circles. Attach a cylinder. Or more. And include a cone. Put them together. Turn them over. Attach. Subtract. And transform them until they become something unexpectedly gorgeous.
