Project2- Pre-final

 

Tutor Scott's feedback:

He suggested me focus on designing the product. Why is the shape, what’s the scale, how the information on the device connects to each other and how to use this?

CONCEPTS

 

 

 

Peer comments: (from Clark Peiyi Hou,  Bech, Ole Andre, Olivia Qiuyuan, Lin)
1.They said the first concept they saw no difference from the existing bike renting but the colour appeals to people. need to see the new feature about this product service.

2. They all like the second concept. it has the potential for development. Think about the details. Maybe e-magazine is more fashionable.

3. The problem for the third concept is where can you position your machine.

Comment for tutor Scott:
For the concept2;
How does it work? Where it come from? Who involve in it? -Build a system map
How to prevent stealing and dirty?





So, I found it is very hard to develop the concept 2 and another concept come into my mind.
Umbrella Lending

Sudden storm always attack in many citys in the world. Weather forecast sometimes is not accurate. People do not bring their umbrella everyday.  

The umbrella renting service can save this trouble.

Feedback from Tutor: He said i should focus on design the product instead of doing a big vending machine because it wastes electricity. In addition, the umbrellas are not at one place- uni and they can be at other places.

Project 1 - Accessible Packaging Final

 

Week5 - Life cycle analysis Activity

 

 

This week, our group disassembled Breville Citrus Press and the process was quite interesting.  At the beginning it was easy to be disassembled but then it became harder and harder. Then, we generated the product's life cycle analysis report by using greenfly. This report indicates that energy damage and global warming are the most significant issues, water use and solid wastes can not be neglectable as well.   

Week 4 Project 1- Reflection

4 pre-final posters+technical drawing

 

This medicine dispensor is called P&L because it contains two kinds of tablets - Pramipexole Dihydrochloride (90 tablets *1.5mg) and Levodopa (0.25g*100 tablets).

It is specially designed for Parkinson disease’s patients. It helps the patients to take out the medicine easily. The shape is more ergonomic and aesthetic compare to existing medicine packaging. Elderly people feel comfortable and warm when they use it.

Elderly people is the important group in our society, however, a lot of medicine packaging in the market are difficult for them to open and take the tablets especially for the elderly people who have diminished hand strength and hand tremor like Parkinson disease.

My design take these problems into consideration, here are the explanation about P&L:

1. The shape is designed ergonomically to fit people’s hands. The textures on the side can be anti- slipping and tell them to push. Elderly people feel comfortable to grip it.

2. Push- action is better than twisting-action for them. The action requires less hand strength and hands shaking which they have.

3. The inner part is designed to take one pill each action instead of making messy everywhere.

4. Combining two kinds of medicines in one medicine box can reduce the materials.

 

Feedback from Peers: Olivia said the third poster's renderings are confused for her.

Feedback from Cormack person: the concept is good and he suggest looking at the current market to see the construction inside and how it works. The colour could be different.

Feedback from Tutor Tom: The technical drawing should show the section view for all parts. The size of my mock-up is a bit small and the person who has big hands can not fit in it.  In addition, finding a solution to prevent the inside part not pulling out completely.
