There are 2 ways to make 3D glasses. You can decide which method would be easiest and most cost effective for you.
- Step2
The first way seems like the cheapest way but the items needed to make the glasses this way may not be things laying around the house. First print out a template for the glasses at http://paperproject.org/PDF_files/3dglasses.pdf
After you cut out the template cut your cellophane to fit the holes in the glasses. Make sure you place the red cellophane on the lefteye and the blue on the right. You can either glue or tape the cellophane in place. You are now ready to use your glasses. If you want to make a more sturdy pair just cut out another poster board template and glue it to the another template covering the taped or glued cellophane side.

Another way you can make 3D glasses is to find an old pair of sunglasses. Pop out the lenses. Get a sturdy piece of clear plastic and place the lenses on the sheet and use it as a template, draw a line around the lens and then cut the new plastic lens out. Place the lens back into the sunglasses frame. Color the left lens red with a marker and the right eye blue. You now are ready to watch 3D TV.

Square Coke Bottle Design
CCS student Andrew Kim's Coke bottle redesign is an ambitious take on the iconic bottle, going square in the name of eco-friendliness. The new bottle shape would take up far less space in shipping pallets per bottle, and a push-up in the bottom large enough to accommodate the cap of the bottle beneath it would enable stacking. Said cap is offset for better drinkability.Another interesting design feature is that underneath the label, the bottle is ribbed so that it can compress like an accordion, taking up even less space when it's time to go into the recycling truck.
Holy Memphis-Milano, Best collection
The entire collection has been assembled and documented over the past 20 years by Dennis Zanone, an avid Memphis collector in none other but Memphis, Tennessee. Pictures of all his pieces (both in and out of context) are posted to his flickrstream, which is a true treasure-trove of visuals and information.And yes, in case you're wondering, he does have the Tawaraya boxing ring bed, which can be seen through the door in the top picture and below (also, notice the decidedly non-Memphis TV perched on the lower right—this makes me love it all the more). On this piece, he comments, "This is my bed and I feel like I live in a cartoon!"

Joris Laarman Lab exhibition
Probably best known for his Heatwave radiator produced by Droog, Dutch designer Joris Laarman opened his first solo show in the US last night at Friedman Benda. Titled 'Joris Laarman Lab', the show spans work from the last 5 years and has enough mirror-polished surfaces to rival Ron Arad's 'Guarded Thoughts' shown in the same gallery just over a year ago.

Product design student recycling plastic bags to help out in Haiti
The Utility Quilt is made entirely out of recycled plastic bags using an extremely high tech and uniquely named process caused "Plastic Bag Fusing" which involves layers of plastic bags, just like the ones you get at the grocery store, a piece of tracing paper, and an iron. It was designed to be a lightweight, portable, waterproof shelter that can be used in a variety of situations and locations, depending on the user's needs. They can be used as a singular unit or linked together with other Quilts to form a larger protected area.
