What's going on?
...did I take a break? Lose interest?
Nope got designs for the 6th, 7th and 9th. On the 8th prepared over 40lbs of Sea Bass for cooking that we caught the day before.
So far I'm not happy with every toy direction. Some are pretty silly. But I will start getting them up soon.

v5 04 night light guy and marble racing
Ok I did some concepts so the executive money clip will have to wait.
The 2 concepts developed last night are the night light guy. It is a dome night light that you can cover with little guys either cute animals or little monsters. They will be a mix of translucent, semi translucent and opaque material. They sit in dock and can be lifted off to be taken off for late night adventures. The other concept was Marble Racers. Which marbles that look like cars and the packaging turns into a race track (Lauren thought of the 2nd part)

Sourcery freelancing
I did some work for company that made promotional items for companies. I did tons of jump drives and stuff for doctors but these were 2 of my favorite designs. Not sure if they ever got made.
v5 04 executive money clip (maybe)
this is cool idea in case I don't come up with anything tonight while brainstorming, you can speculate what an executive money clip looks like...
v5 03 water rocket gun
This was just random idea I had combining a normal gardening hose to shoot a soft rocket. I call it the water rocket gun. Just screw the gun to the hose mount the rocket on the end pull the trigger once to build pressure and pull it again to fire the rocket off. Who knows if it would work but it could be cool. I original thought of just a water gun that looked like a real gun to mount to your hose for plant watering.

PTRdesign Intellectual Property
As the blog grows and designs keep coming, I have to be diligent to protect my ideas, but that is hard because I am posting them on the web for the world to see. From now on every image will have a watermark and a statement that it is my intellectual property and I own them.
I have also asked you if there were ideas that you have and you want them developed. Your ideas will be protected as intellectual property as well and if at any point it becomes income generating you will be compensated.
Last any items that I have posted that I developed for JW Pet Company who I am the Senior Designer for are not my intellectual property, they are owned by JW Pet Company. They most likely are patented or patent pending. Everything I have and will post from my company are items that have already been produced and can be purchased at your local pet store as long as they are still in production!

v5 02 white board toy
Well it's day one of the 2nd month of #designAday. The focus this month will be toys and fun and funny things! I should still be able to develop concepts that can be produced even if some ideas are whimsical and absurd!
I still want to develop several of the concepts from month one, but I can not stop the brain storming for month 2.
I just sketched out a basic abstract figure that would be molded in high gloss plastic similar to a white board that way you can sketch on the figure, leave note and be creative without it being permanent. The figure needs a little work (a lot)! I love the idea of the dunnie that you can draw on yourself, but what if your drawing sucks, well you ruined your toy. This would never happen with this toy. It would also have interchangeable parts so you could build and draw on different figures.

v4 31 Vegetable Garden
Today I planted my first vegetable garden as part of my Urban Garden system I am doing some tests. Today I planted a container vegetable garden and garden in the bed. The garden gets more morning sunlight and the containers get more afternoon. It is going to be very interesting to see which does better. I thought of a lot of design opportunities while going through the process of planting the veggies.
