IV. Evaluation

****NOTE : if not posted right now, evaluation is still in process. Thank you for being patient.

Production Logbook

***Warning - this post contains a lot of pictures and short descriptions.

• WEEK 1

This week always contains the orientation on what we are going to do and looking for a client. It also involves the planning and thinking of ways on how to correct our mistakes in the past quarter. In this week we were introduced to our project called 'metal works'.

We also were able to find a client in need of our assistance.

• WEEK 2

We finally start our production - well, not really. But we start by setting up the material and equipment needed together with thinking of a design. We also start measuring our metal and thinking about the other extra components we might like to add.

• WEEK 3

We still haven't had a final decision on the design but we are sure that it's going to be an organizer with a somewhat rectangular or square body. We also added angle bars to our artefact because we think that it would help with the structure of our product. Since it was long we decided to cut it.

• WEEK 4

We have a final design which is posted in our Design Post so you should go and check it out. It's an organizer that well.... organizes. And we're pretty sure that it will hopefully do its job. So time to get to work.

• WEEK 5

Blog. We need to blog but it's hard and you know... But still we haven't really done the blog properly so if this is posted right now then it's a miracle. We're still cutting again but don't blame us it's harder than it looks. There will be definitely a lot of cutting involved. Also we updated our blog and decided to write some posts that our still in our 'draft' box.

• WEEK 6

Welding just happened. After we finished cutting our angle bars we welded and I don't mean us, I mean Sir of course. It was cool and light sparkled so yeah....

• WEEK 7

Stressing. Cramming. Last Week. Due to all these random things going on, someone got injured and - oh look there's blood, it got slightly bloody. It was nothing major but more progress made this week.

II. DESIGNING

 This is the overview of our final artefact:

I. INVESTIGATION

     This section contains the data, sketches, and research that we did to come up with our final design. This section is divided into different parts:

• Research

    

< --    A metal organizer with lot's of layers

Metal and mesh combined to create different typres of organizers          ---- >

Here are some of our RESEARCHED ideas. We all know that every great inventor or just a person like me needs inspiration. We got some pictures from the internet that gave us an idea on what our final product might be.                                                  

• Brain Storming Design Ideas

As we created and 'looked inside our brains' for different designs for our end product, we were lost. Our minds were filled with lost thoughts and unfinished ideas. An original idea? That can't be too hard. No, it's really hard. But when we put our heads together, we were able to come up with:

a.) An Ordinary Organizer
b.) A More Suitable Organizer

Amazing, right?

• Preferred Options

In the end of all that 'mind mapping', we have finally done it. We had chosen to create an organizer with a screwdriver holder and LED or a container that would store wires. It would also have a drawer for more important materials that would provide a safe storage space. The final output would also have a size that would be 'not to big or not to small'.

At first we thought of an ordinary organizer but we preferred our last option because it would be more suitable for out client that having your ordinary organizer that would hold books and whatnot.

Evaluation Criteria

We all have those questions we would like to accomplish. That is the Evaluation Criteria.

1. Will the pieces of metal/s be properly structures?
2. Will the final product be stable enough?
3. Will any of our additional designs be useful?
4. Was our design useful to our client?
5. Was the artifact innovative enough?
6. Will the artifact reach our client's expectations?
7. Will this satisfy our client's conditions?

Will we succeed?

Constraints and Consideration

*insert table here*

Below this comments contains the table with the constraints and considerations:

Design Requirements (MISC)

ORGANIZER

  1. The artefact (organizer) must be able to neatly sort and organize the client's equipment, tools, and materials (such as wires, LEDs, and plies).

     2. The artifact (workshop) must be able to act as a workshop as well. It should have spaces for the client to work on and should be or have an
insulator if the client is working on electronics.

   
3. The artefact (metal product) must be mostly made of metals. It could contain wood or rubber, but the main component used must be made of metal.

 4. The artefact should be safe and easy to handle and should be pleasing to the eyes. The edges and the corners should be bent correctly, so that they are safe but at the same time, still pleasing to the eyes.

Design Requirements (PIES)

Physical
-The artefact should be able to organize and store materials and equipment. It should be able to safely and organize the said objects neatly and the organized items must be accessible without much trouble.

Intellectual
-The artefact should be able to remind the client of his/her duties when using the product. It should also be able to hold reminders for the client.

Emotional
-The artefact should be able to ease the client's stress and help him/her have a great time while working or using the product.

Social
-The artefact should be able to help the client communicate with his/her co-workers or acquaintances, as well as help him/her be updated with the latest trend in his/her surrounding. (Like coffee)

Design Brief

   

 Creating a Metal Artifact? Psssshhhhh... Easy. No, not really.

Making your own work of art out of metal. It is slightly impossible considering all the other factors like its stability, functionality and of course our client's design or even color of choice, it is kinda difficult. But even with all the problems exploding in our faces, we are not going to give up that easily. We are never going to give up. We will just find a way to make this 'product' work.

So, what are your considerations?

        Well.... aside from the fact that we haven't thought of a client yet, his/her opinion would really matter to us and the other consideration would help us make our product even better. We think that even if it was good or even at its best if it still brought that unsatisfied look to our clients face it wouldn't be as good. 

We can therefore conclude that...

The product should be able to meet the client’s expectation. It must be able to store and organize all sorts of electronic tools and materials. As an added feature, it should also be a workplace and a safe storage at the same time. If we accomplish of all these future plans and goals then I would feel nothing but that sensation of happiness. So, I hope it all works out.

Design Task

We were given the task - or you could say, chose to take the task of not only knowing what our artifact would be but also chose our client. The task is simple - or really complex, innovate and create. A new chapter has begun in our journey of 'metal works'. And in accordance to this, we were also asked to make our product something fresh, new, clean and out of this world or simply called an innovation.

Summary:

We are to create an artefact made of metal that will satisfy the client. Our client, Mr. Andrew Tenorio asked us for an innovative organizer for his electronic materials and equipments. 

"Creativity is thinking up new things, Innovation is doing new things." 

PEACE OUT :)

 

3RD Quarter

METAL WORKS

Another quarter has just begun and another mission was surprisingly introduced to us. And that my friends is known as 'metal works'. I know it may sound hard - or like really difficult but that won't stop our group from creating a successful artifact.

Meet our group called the...

NEW METALRIZON:

• Ron Surara
• Angel Mancera
• Rodel Elep

Composed of three members from the section 8-Rosal, we are most likely to succeed unless stated otherwise. lol.
