Criteria D - Evaluating the solution

Criteria D- Evaluating the Solution 

Self -evaluation against Design Specification 

Design 1- Toy -friendly syringe 
Design 2 - Jean straps
Design 3- Water bottle fabric case

Peer Evaluation Against Design Specification:


TASK 3:

Design 1-Friendly Syringe:

I think my toy friendly robot is a good idea but I think the toy itself can get contaminated easily from the children so the toy would be even better if there was some sort of way that the toy can get cleaned without damaging any part of it. The toy would be even better if the design would be improved because of the limit of shapes that are placed in Tinkercad.

Design 2-Pant Straps:

The Pant Straps are a very effective design if the target audience was to buy it but the design that was made from Tinkercad was a bit plain. Because the  limit of geometric shapes in tinkered isn't a lot , there were not too many extra features I could have added in the design. The design itself was just regular pants(without pockets) and the jean straps. The design, however, could have been improved by adding features such as pockets to make the design look helpful. 

Design 3-Water bottle fabric case:

I think that the water bottle fabric case was designed nearly exactly sketched so the improvements wouldn't be too much if there were any, The water bottle cover could be improved if the colors were changed or a number of colors to the cover were added.

Criteria C- Creating the solution


Shapes that were used:
  • Box
  • Pyramid
  • Cylinder
  • Sphere
Reflection:
The basic shapes I used were the boxes for the arms, legs, body and head , the pyramids for the hands ,the cylinder as the needle and the sphere as the distracting ball. The only techniques I used to make this product was grouping the shapes and ungrouping to edit the shapes again. While I was designing this product the hardest part of this design was to make every shape as accurate and symmetrical as possible so it can look like a good product.

Changes:
The changes I made from my sketch was the fact I used pyramids instead of fingers because it would be too long and complex to make. The second change I made was that I didn't place any buttons on the chest but instead a green area which would be a smarter idea for lights to distract the kids. The last change I made was the removal of the handle of syringe because the shapes weren't available to create the handle.

Design 2:

 Shapes that were used:
  • The letter C
  • The letter U
  • Thin tubes
Reflection:
 The basic shapes I used were the Letter C to make it look like the straps around the pants, the letter U for the buckle of the belt and thin tubes for the pants itself. The techniques I mostly was used was grouping but I ungrouped if I needed to edit anything else. The most challenging thing I faced while creating this product was placing and editing the pant's straps.

Design 3:

 Shapes that were used:
  • Cylinders
  • thin tubes
  • a box
My Reflection:
The basic shapes I used were cylinders for the base and cover, thin tubes for the handle and ex-tractable rubber on the top and a small box on the side of the cover to grip the handle. The techniques I used for this design was creating a hole by placing a shape in a bigger shape to create the desired hole. I also used grouping and ungrouping. The hardest part about creating this design was making sure the measurement of the top and the base of the water bottle cover was symmetrical.
