//Design Brief //
Here at AISD littering is not such a big problem but outside the school, on the streets of Dhaka littering is a serious problem. So in help of bringing more awareness to this problem i will make a sign to promote awareness to this global issue. The sign will hopefully bring more attention to this global issues we face in Bangladesh to the AISD community.

according to http://www.wisegeek.com/how-much-garbage-does-a-person-create-in-one-year.htm and http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/02/united-nations-add-mobile-phones-to-the-world-e-waste-crisis.ars, states that america itself creates "990,000 football fields with 1.8 meter high piles of waste." ======

people dont really think if the trash that they are throwing away comes to the right place and i think this is one of the bigger world problems, because here in bangladesh you can see evidence of how much waste we are producing and what happens if it doesn't come to the right place to get recycled or reused. often the waste ends up on the floor or on the streets and thats why i am making a sign pointing out where trash cans are so they could be used instead of the trash going on the street. ======

What other people/organizations has done. In singapore there is a law passed that if you litter then you can be faced with a $1000-300 fine and if you get cought a sekond time the fine might be up to $3000 and an amount of community service. but i am not saying that we should pay a fine because of littering, because i think that if you just bring attention to the solution (in this case a trash can) then people would just use it instead of throwing it on the ground.


 * Design

first design second design my inspirational movie is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-D0VEN4ZGo because it is a documentary about global warming which teaches me what really goes on and how I can help. I think this is very inspiring because some of the invention can really change the world


 * Plan



> have finished the designing stage and am now starting to glue on the design and getting ready to start cut. After i have printed and glued, i started to cut out my letters.
 * Create
 * process journal [[image:PJ_-_MS_EXplore_May_1402.jpg]]

This class i spent on making my wood and letters ready to get cut out, i also started cutting out some of the letters

The second class of work i have worked all class on cutting out all the letters but didn't finish them. The third class i finished i all by the end of class and had time to make them nice with sand paper.

Fourth class i have spent the hole class painting.

> >> It solved the unit question because it helped bring awareness to the prob;em i selected. >> Yes because all of the steps and designs i did well. >> it meet all the requirements that my Design Specification had except that it is not 13" by 13". > **Create Phase Evaluation:** > >> I finished it. >> Yes i was very effective while working on the creating phase. >> I could have painted more effectively. > > (1) Does not meet expectations – (2) Meets expectations – (3) Exceeds expectations > > Craftsmanship: 2 > > Appearance: 3 > > Appropriate use of materials: 3 > > Environmental Impact: 2 > > Time management: 1 > > **Planning Phase Evaluation:** > >> It made a good outline i could follow to create my product. >> I could have updated it more. > > **Design Evaluation:** > >> the cutting was the most challenging because the letters were hard shapes. >> the painting. > > **Which part of the design cycle did you enjoy the most?** > I liked the sketchup part because i like the freedom of sktchup and you could create any thing. > **Which part of the design cycle do you enjoy the least?** > I didn't like the research part because i had problems finding what other people had done to solve the problem. > **What personal strength did you discover during the process?** > I manage to use my time wisely because i managed to make my product in time. > **What is one area of growth that you discovered (something you could get better at)?** > i became better at painting, then i was before and i have improved a lot, and you can see this by looking at the paint layer of the product.
