The Design Process --> Designing Furniture for our Street

Our topic this term is Bigger, Better, Faster and Stronger. We had a task to make furniture using the design process. We identified a need that there was no furniture in the street. This was causing the students to not respect and love the street. By designing furniture for the street we hope it will enhance our learning.

As part of researching we had to think about the important attributes for our furniture. Such as is it Safe, size, is it practical, innovative and creative. We used our netbooks to look for pictures and ideas that we inspired, we also found information.

We had to choose our favourite design and modify that design to make it our own. We generated ideas and made our work more creative and practical to make with the resources we have and the resources we can get. We also visualized different ideas in our heads. When we visualized our ideas we picked our favourite idea and we tried to make a prototype model.

When we choose an idea we had to make a prototype. A prototype is a small version of your design. It is made from things like paper, cardboard and other soft materials. We are still making our prototypes but only a couple of us are finish.
