further requirements

I am targetting both current college students and alumni. I want a smart, young, modern look, but also one that is playful and accessible. Also, I would like to be able to customize the logo for a given school. So if the logo has the name in it, there should be an easy way to add an element with the given school's name or logo. That way when one goes to a school specific section of the site, we won't lose the brand/identity of the entire project, but will connect it more closely to that community. Also, I might be looking for a designer to redo my entire look of the site, I am just starting with a logo to see how this works. the site is at www.thealumnibank.com. Thanks!

The Big Egg Drop.

Our task was to design a enclosure/device that would protect an egg from being dropped from three floors up, using only 1 roll of masking tape and 6 straws.

To come up with our final idea we had an open discussion about the kind of method we would chose. We quickly eliminated the idea of using a parachute as the materials we had where not sufficient enough to build one, that left us with the option of wrapping the egg with the masking tape and straws. After having a detailed discussion about the features of our enclosure we did a simple diagram to outline these.


In the end our egg broke on the third floor although compared to the other groups designs I feel ours worked well.
