Knock Knock! There is a simple trick to opening and closing a door. Many don’t know

this, so don’t be shocked or alarmed at the impending knowledge you’re about to receive. All you have to do is turn the doorknob. Complex indeed. But

sometimes, there’s no doorknob. Now what? You are forced to use your critical thinking skills to evaluate the bizarre contraption bolted to the door in lieu of the traditional entry method. It’s good we’re critical thinkers, or else we’d be standing outside that door all day. After evaluation of the entry vehicle, you are sure of one thing: you could do better at designing a doorknob. Good, because that’s what you’re doing today. Your challenge today is to design your own doorknob. You can either choose to design simply on aesthetics and leave the internal mechanisms to the engineering department, or you can design the entire piece and how it would interact with the door.
