DF (Desk Tidy)

For the past week I have been sketching my Desk Tidy which I finally sketched up. I actually got into the workshop and staarted to cut out parts of my desk tidy. But when it turned out to be quite difficult to build the ipad stand, Mr Ward gave a new idea of connecting the base with the ipad stand which I am starting to sketch once again.

DF (Desk Tidy Idea)

Today I made a full sketch of what I could do for my desk tidy. This is it:

Design Futures (New Brief)

Today I ideated through the new brief of making a desk tidy. Overall I did find some images from the internet I might use which are:

Evaluation

Function:
For the function of my LED light, it has solved the problem. It is a small working task lamp using LED technology.  It is also a freestanding and stable lamp. Therefore it does what it was meant to do. It also performs very efficiently and efectively. And if I had done this design again, I would have used a switch on the wire so I wouldn't always have to turn it off from the power-point.

Aesthetics:
As for the aesthetics of this lamp, it does have a very pleasing view. In terms of its shape, it gives others the pleasing fact that it gives the worker space to move their gear around the desk. It also gives the workers more space due to this lamp dosen't take up much space. Another pleasing fact about the lamp is the texture. Especially the Jarra wood that was used. The texture of the wood is very nice due to it looks neat and very modern.

Ergonomics:
Based on this lamp, its ergonomics are fairly good. Based on its convenience towards the worker, it gives a lot of room under the light as well as the artefact not taking up a lot of room. Therefore it gives the worker a lot of convenience. But one aspect of ergonomics that is difficuly is that you always have to get up and turn the lamp off from the power-point which isn't a convenience at all.

Economics:
Through the economics of everything that went into making this LED lamp, overall it is quite cheap. All that was needed was LED strips, polly carbonate paper, Jarra wood, alluminium and wire.

DF (New Brief)

Today we had a look at the new brief which we will be starting next term. Our problem is to create a desk tidy for our desks that can only go within the area of 200mm by 200mm. I can't wait to start it but the bad thing is that Mr Ward is going on long service leave and we will be getting a new teacher until Mr Ward comes back in term 3.

DF (Working)

Today was more like a lesson of just theory. I tried to complete as much as I could for my assignment which is going well.
