=Design Folder - Fred= Unit question: Why and how do people need to organize themselves in different ways? Or how do I stop getting detentions for forgetting my homework?

Unit Question interpreted: I think this question is important because your organization effects your grades. its important in that way but its also important to do you homework, otherwise you will miss a lot and then you don't learn as much as the other students. and your parents will probably get made and you will get detentions.

everyone needs to have there own way to organize, because otherwise you would forget homework, and assignments. I organize by always keep me locker clean, and do the homework and write my homework down, because then i can keep everything on track. You can stop getting detentions for forgetting your homework, by always write down your homework and keep your locker clean and take some responsibility.

Design brief

I am going to make a Magnetic Organizer. The Magnetic organizer is for me and i am going to place it on my desk at home. It will solve the unit question because, then i can keep track of all my notes and homework.

Needs magnetic tape Needs wood Needs colours Needs nails Needs extra magnetics Needs some skills

Tests Safety = The touch test Strenght = Drop it on the ground Enviromently Friendly = That its not wasted materials Size = Place it on the desk Materials = Have you used the materials Looks = Does it show craftmanship

Guide Line Questions 1. Can i use all the materials? Yes I think I can use all of the materials. Otherwise I can buy that is missing. 2. Is my product hard enough? No, I don`t think my product is hard enough but i`m going to Make it Harder! 3. Will my Magnetic Organizer fit on my desk? My product will fit on my desk because my desk is like 9 feet wide 4. Will it have a nice look? Yes because i will color it very nicely and then it will have a nice look :)

This is my desk. My product will easily fit in here, because my product is 20 x 15. My desk i quite organized. My product will go next to my green pencil ( case ). Design 1. This is a very simple design, but its useful. With this design you can use it as a workpad, but its for homework, and for notes. The measeruments of this design is 20 x 15. Because this design includes metal and strong wood it will be very strong. What I like with this design, is that you can bring it with you where ever you go. The size of this design is perfect for me, because as you can see my desk is very large. All the materials for this product is avable. Very beatiful and simple wood color.



Design number 2. This design is also simple, but not as simple as number 1. With this design you can use it more as a stationary workpad, The size is of this design is little bigger than number 1. what i like with this design is that i have to challenge my self more. The problem with this design is that i dont know if all the materials are aviable. This design is also very strong and perfect, size its good.

Design number 3. Design number 3 is the hardest design to make i think. But it wont fall apart. ( thats sure ) The thing that i dont like with this product, is that you are not able to take it with you wherever you go. Its very strong and it has all the requirements, for the strenghtness. This is the product that i will challenge my self the most.

Final desicision I think that i will choose design number 2, because its very strong and it has a nice size and it fits on my desk. And its not to hard but its not to easy, for example, if i would have made design number 3 it would be a little bit to hard, But if i would have choose number on it would have been to easy. I am glad that i did the desicion that i made because, design number 2 is a product is a product that will be challenging but no to hard or not to easy.

My product ended pretty good if you ask me because it meets all the specifications and it looks really good.
