It isn't 12th

How can the Competition be closed, and already have a tie if the Competition isn't yet closed.
For your information, the date yesterday was the 4th not 12th.
The closing date is the 12th you said! Next week I will add at least 3 more drawings.

Cyndi Lauper is an amazing singer!

I love the idea of different colors. I would have it in fresh green. Would the whole appliance range be in these colors?

My new Hotpoint range redesign

Here is my idea of the new Hotpoint redesign. I totally love the design, but always hated their panels and their options, so I did a redesign. (sorry about the picture quality, I hate JPG, you have a high quality image link).
All done with Photoshop.
PS. sorry about the unfinished screens, working on them to show the new interface, will upload when finished.

Hope you like it, please comment!

Nice Hotpoint machines

However, I sure Hope they would use Aquarius , Aquarius+ & Ultima. Plus I hope they will have the old Aquarius logo on them!
I think they look good!
Please tell me they are using the Aqurius & Ultima names though!

Nice Hotpoints

How did you remove the dials and other stuff from the machine picture?

@ Jacob
I did everything with Photohsop.
A little tutorial:
Open the image and make a new empty layer.
Select the "Clone stamp" tool and do the following settings:
BRUSH: size -> first start with a smaller brush, shape: round brush, hardness: 75%
mode: normal, opacity: 80%, aligned checked, sample: current & below

Then just alt-click on an empty area and after that click on the dials etc to get rid of them.
NOTE: you will have to click a few times to cover it all up, the opacity is 80% - for blending.

Hope it helped!

@glenfieldmathk1
They wouldn't use the old names, there wouldn't be any names for models. That would be because of a "new era" of their washers.

 

[glenfieldmathk1]

Oh No!

But still great anyway.
Though I would certainly miss the Aquarius & Ultima!

 

[petarp]

@glenfieldmathk1

I kinda thought about what you said, the Aquarius and Ultima names were there for years and years...
So, I rethought it and scraped the BOL model and made a new one.
With that model, I decided to include Aquarius, Aquairus+ and Ultima names.

Pic of the new BOL model, and updated "old (medium and TOL)" models soon!

 

[glenfieldmathk1]

@petarp

Oh wow!
Thanks very much for bringing the names back, can't wait to see those pictures!

My washing machine!

Hello, I'm new to the forum! Here is my washing machine from a fictional brand called Montgomery Appliances. The model number is FWM1090GB (F stands for front-loader, WM stands for washing machine, the 10 stands for 10kg, the 90 stands for it being a top-end model and the GB stands for grey and black.) This washing machine has a resistive touchscreen to control it, as well as some buttons underneath. They are (from left to right) Program, Power, Start/Pause, Back and Delay Start.

The machine retails for around £900 ($1450, €1000) because of its high quality. We have omitted features that are not used, such as fast washes using little water, steam modes and shoe cycles. The washer has technology to prevent shaking and quiet motors. The fan at the rear of the drum helps with agitation during prewashes, washes and rinses. It also keeps the clothes warm during spin cycles.

I too have not been on this forum very long, neither has boschlover1997. Welcome. My name is Jacob. I love your design. I guess you use Sketchup like me, eh?
