This week in class Travis, Lori, Colleen, and I started building prototypes for our new and much improved paint roller. However before we even started building, we picked and synthesized elements from our ideas that we thought the final paint roller should possess.

We wanted the new roller to have:
1- a more comfortable grip
2- an extender built in
3- a paint spraying feature
4- ball bearing rotators (for a smoother roll)
5- even weight distribution
6- a better sponge/cloth material on the actual roller
With all of these elements in mind we started building our elaborate prototype with none other than: cardboard, masking tape, foamcore, and crazy glue. How profoundly sophisticated eh?

Prototype #2 is like the sibling that no one should talk about. It just turned out weirdly and if I wasn't part of it's conception, then I would gladly give it away. Alas, it should be shown, you know, for good measure.. so here she is:
