Because the theme of my sketches all revolve around developing a routine and good habits, my idea for a prototype was to create my own office space to do work. Under normal circumstances I’d be at my mom’s house where I have a work space but since I didn’t live with my dad before college, I didn’t have my own place to work when I came to his house during quarantine. He had a desk he used when he was in graduate school in his storage unit that he had told me about before, so with his approval I brought it to my room. I was rummaging around to see what I could put on the desk when I found a plug-in cube. After searching online I learned this particular cube lit up in green if the market was up and red if it was down which definitely adds a nice flair to the setup. I also reused supplies I cleared out from my desk in school, like post-its and a pencil sharpener. My dad walked in with a cup of coffee for me two hours after I thought I finished rearranging, yet it only took him five seconds to ask why I was working in the dark. I realized he was right, so I swung the desk 90 degrees from where I originally had it so it would be closer to the windows. As an added bonus, I can see the TV downstairs which will help me track tickers and get breaking news.
