E-Learning: Design Opportunities at Home Part 1

Design appreciation

This is an example of a good design ( you will see why ) as the urinals are evenly spaced out.

This is an extremely bad design as the urinals are too close to each other. Can you imagine 2 people using the 2 urinals simultaneously? Its ridiculous. These urinals should spaced apart/have a bigger gap between them.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

This is a good design as it gets the job done of squeezing lemon effectively and quickly. The material is also a safe material, pastic. Furthermore, it is practical and most likely to be easily afforded by most households. 

This is a useless design. Firstly, is it impractical. Secondly, it is a waste more of a luxury product or a designer item which does not cater to the typical consumer. Although it is cool and has a unique design, it may not work well.

Sketching with Rubrics

The rubrics matrix has helped me to be better in my drawing for ADMT as it allows me to gauge and judge myself according to the rubrics and I will know when I done the steps correctly. An example would when I judge my drawing according to the rubrics and see whether I have done the "draft line" correctly, etc It also helped me to make my drawing neater.

Ideation

1.) Shape borrowing
  
Shape borrowing is a design tool that is used to improve our designs or creations. We can create a new design using shape borrowing by observing our environment and borrowing shapes from other objects to create and improve new designs. One of the places where we can find interesting shapes is from nature. To do shape borrowing, you must first choose a shape and try to use that shape to create a new design for a particular item. This way, your product will be unique and thus, more appealing to other people.


2.) Scamper 


Scamper is used to refine our designs and products by Substituting elements in our design, Combining elements in our design, adapting designs together, modifying our designs and make it better, think of how to put your design to more than one uses, to eliminate unnecessary elements in our design and reverse or rearrange elements in our design.   

- Substituting

- Combining 

- Adapting

- Modifying

- Put to other uses

- Elimination 

- Rearrangement/Reverse

  

Storyboard

Hope you understand and like the storyboard although the actual presentation was no good.
