Project 2

The job of a designer is to look at the world and keep improving it. For our second project, we choose 3 objects we thought were bad designs. We brought those 3 objects and sketches of them to class. We got into groups of three or four and picked one object to improve. The groups did a mapping of the object on a big sheet of paper. The mapping included what was wrong with the object, what it was used for, who used it, its purpose, and how to make it better. We came up with as many ideas as possible, from possible to the impossible. We are to interview ten people about the object, make sketches with improvements, and bring materials to make a prototype. Along with making a prototype, we will make an Imovie and a poster.
