Good designs

The motorbike is a good design in terms of looks
The sculpture is also a good design in terms of looks

Bad designs


I think the shower head is a poor design as when people need to use it, there is difficulty
For the slide, it is just plain bad as when someone slides down, it will hurt due to the friction created at the end.

Ideation



1. Shape borrowing somehow forces you to put your assumptions aside and make a product that is different from the norm. 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. The SCAMPER is the acronym for substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to other use, eliminate and rearrange/reverse. Substitute helps to use the particular object to change a part of another object. Combine allows you to combine the particular object with another object to make one. Adapt allows you to change the object to be able to meet a certain criteria for another idea to work on the product. Modify changes the shape of the object to make it more unique. Put to other use changes the object so that it can be used for other purposes at the same time. Eliminate takes out some redundant parts of the product to make it look or work better and rearrange or reverse makes the product look more unique. Thus, all SCAMPER can help to make the object more unique and work better.

Storyboarding

1)What is a storyboard?  
A storyboard is a graphic organizer that helps you to create your film by helping you plan your video beforehand and when filming, it gives you a rough idea on what or how to film.


2)How do we create a storyboard?
 By adding the pictures of a scene that you want and adding what you will be filming or saying on a piece of paper or on a computer.
3)When or where is story boarding useful?
 When someone is creating a film or a play/skit, a storyboard will be useful to plan out what    you would want or need to film to show what will happen so that when filming, you know what is needed to be shot and have a good idea on what or how the film will turn out.

    The 3 steps helped me evaluate and create more ideas for a simple pencil case. This 3 steps allowed me to think deeper into what it can do like creating an extra compartment to make it multi-functional, to use it as both a pencil case like it was supposed to be originally or use it as a wallet

    Bad photo

    This is a bad photo as the focus (the ghostly-looking face) is very blur. The focus is also in the middle of the photo instead of one-third of it and thus, making this a very bad photo

    Good photo


      This picture captures my attention as the focus (the lava spewing out from the volcano) and the background blends in very well together. The focus is also at one-third of the photo
