Prompt
Now that we've brainstormed and sketched and prototyped and FINALLY landed on a solid idea, it's time to delve into your final prototype.
Think about these questions as you construct:
- Can you add another level of elegance, refinement, or more creativity to your design?
- Does the shape of each component of your design have anything to do with its function or use?
- If your object is interactive, how can you invite users in using only the visual nature of your design?
- Is your project the right size? Does it need to be bigger or smaller?
In design, there should be a clear progression from one set of prototypes to the next as you make design decisions.
Important: Make sure you really examine the full range of materials available to you in this studio and make thoughtful choices about which materials you're using and why.
- Does it move in the way you want it to?
- When you test your design with your friends and family, how do they respond? Could it be easier to use? Could it be more intuitive?
- Does your prototype work the way you want it to? What are some mechanical kinks that you need to work out?
Deliverable
- Improve the form and function of your project through iterative design
- Take high-quality pictures of the finished prototype being worn and used.
In the response tab:
- Photographs of your final prototype
- Close-up photographs of your final prototype that show the quality of the design
- Photographs of your final prototype that clearly communicate how people engage with it
