Assignment Instructions
This object can be as small as a pin, or as large as a car, but it must be something that you would use in your everyday life to make life more efficient or enjoyable. The technology does not need to be available now, only your imagination. Touchscreen phones were a concept before they had the technology. You will be asked to choose 3 of your favorite or most useful projects we have utilized this semester and use those models for creating designs that tell the story about your everyday object.
Think about the things in your life that you want to change.
What slows you down, makes life unpleasant, or could be improved?
Many times we analyze these things and want to add extra elements to our lives, but how can things be consolidated or streamlined?
The main goal for this assignment is to find the essentials and to distill the idea into something manageable. Your final project will be a sales pitch that involves three visual panels, describing the work to potential users.
Examples of everyday objects that can and have been used before include a chair, pencil, ruler, spoon, plate, bowl, t-shirt, knife, mirror, light, scarf, hairbrush, pillow, and watch. The chair above is both art and a chair, it can be stored flat on the wall or unfolded and used.
Design/Drawing: make a drawing in marker or pen. Show the entire object, close up on important aspects, and use a scaled person in the image. 3 different Designs, using 3 of your favorite projects this semester, need to be uploaded to understand how it works, how big it is, and how you have changed the original. If I can not see your designs, if they lack legibility, I will not be able to grade your final project.
Photograph: Make a small-scale version of your invention with clay, wood, or found objects. Then photograph your model to show how it works, place objects near the model that helps the viewer understand how large the object would actually be in the real world. Show 3 different images of your product, 1 should be in use or action.
Written Companion: Use 10-12 different principles from every module to describe your design choices. Every module must be represented. Identify the most relevant principles, and explain how and why they are effective in the design.
Using course projects: Choose 3 projects from the semester as the template for your 3 designs about your everyday object. Maybe you choose a Mnemonic device and design a logo about your object, You may have enjoyed the wayfinding project, in that case, you might design a history of your object, and where your design improves on that lineage. You might also choose a website design, and design a fake website for your object. Any 3 projects will help you tell a complete story about the what, where, when, why, and how of your object.
This is your final project, be sure to spend time on the written companion. The written component needs to address all of the modules covered for the semester, using 10-12 principles.
Common Errors and Warnings
Choose an Object you Know: Choose simple objects to redesign that you use and know well. If you write, redesign a typing program, or a simple pencil. If you play video games, redesign the controls, and if you play an instrument, redesign it specifically for you.
Choose 3 ways to design your everyday object: Choose any 3 projects from this semester to help you design and describe the use of your object. You could create a logo, a website, a poster, or a didactic narrative describing how to use your object:)
Use all the Module’s Principles: This is your final, remember to use as many principles from every Module, at least 10-12.
Reflection: The final reflection should be about your final project, but also a final reflection on the semester.
