Define a Problem It seems no matter where you are trying to work you have to constantly move items around the desktop or to another surface to make room for your work. Create an attachment method that you can attach any type of holder. It could be a cell phone, and I-POD, even a cup of water. You can not use any hook and loops, adhesives or magnets. Your base must be able to hold paper, paper clips and pens/pencils.

Brainstorm Come up with four sketches each.
