Key Notes
- Designers think about their 3D designs form and function so that it could protect, contain, or display.

- space: the area around, between, and within objects. It can be physical, like a room, or it can be visual
- structure: the way parts of a design are arranged or put together to form a whole, often affecting strength, stability, and overall shape
- containment: the act or quality of enclosing or holding something within, in 3D design this might relate to packaging, vessels, or spaces that hold people or objects
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- 3D design is just about making things look good, it doesn't need to express deeper ideas.
