2nd Product Analysis

(Image took from http://www.pingmag.jp/2006/07/26/geometrical-plastic-jewelry/)

This is a Bracelet which is made of plastic.

Product Analysis

It is made of plastic as the designer does not wants jewelry to be chosen by brand names or exclusive materials rather, by a free approach, a new idea and unique beauty.

The product is most likely used by teenage girls to adults as children may feel it to be toys rather than a jewelry to be worn. It is something not to show your status, but your character and intelligence.

It is highly attractive as it is very colourful and it looks like a 3D puzzle consisting of small pieces attached to larger ones and formed a jewelry made of plastic.

It is very safe to use as it is made of plastic so the corners wont cut the user and it will be comfortable to wear.

The product is environmental friendly because it is made of plastic therefore, the jewelry will not corrode and can be used for a long time unless it is burned or damage.

What is Design And Technology?

Today, I learn what design and technology is all about.

DESIGN
Design is everywhere. The chair that we are sitting on, the computer screen that you are looking at or even the background of this blog is created by following a design process.

We learned about function and aesthetics. Two factors that are often difficult to be managed by designers. While a lot of designers are often concerned with the aesthetics of their product, the functionality is often compromised. While some chairs might be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, I really feel how comfortable they are.

Design is about being innovative. One good example is the use of foam as a material for furniture. Gone are the days when wood is the only material used for furniture making.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology includes objects designed by people, and also ways of arranging and using them for practical use.Borrowing words from the computer field, these two aspects of technology consitute hardware and software, respectively. For example, furniture is hardware while the plan for arranging is software.

In examining any example of technology. from a handbag to a bedroom furniture arrangement, City Technology asks what problem the object was designed to solve, how well it solves, and how it could be redesigned to solve the problem better.

Technology is all around us, including all the artifacts, systems and environments designed to make life better and easier for us. Technology is available for analysis and redesign at minimal or no cost.

The study of technology is uniquely engaging to children, and a powerful vechicle for intergrating maths, science, social studies and language arts.

This is an armchair.It is suited for adults, teenagers and children. It has a very attractive bright pink, eyecatching to the eyes. The structure of the chair is shaped out of moulded fibre resin. The finishing touch to the chair is covered using velvet material to give it a classy look and durable so it can last for a few years. It is very safe and comfortable to sit
