Year 7 Modelling Project

Homework

• Research from 3 or more sources (this can mean 3 different websites)

• Print out your images making sure you have reference to the website you found them on

• Make sure you collect images to do with the themes – quirky creatures or Pop Art

Year 7 Modelling Project

ContextA product design company wishes to create a range of interesting phone docks for the teenage market. They have employed you as a freelance designer.

Year 7 Modelling Project

Initial Design Ideas inspired by Pop Art and Quirky Creatures Themes

Produce a series of drawings from the resources handed out

Year 7 Modelling Project

Produce a range of designs and make a model for a phone docking station. It must attract the teenage market and you must use the themes:- Pop Art and quirky creatures as a starting point for inspiration. (You can use either or both) Your model must be made using styra-foam and the hot wire cutter. It must be finished to a high standard. Your model must be to scale. A phone should sit upright in your phone docking station and be able to charge the phone. As the designer you can decide whether your design includes any other features – this is optional.

SpecificationUsing the context and design brief write a list of things that you must do to fulfil the design brief. One example has been done for you. (remember, this exercise can get you to the next NC level)

• The model I design and make must be made of styra-foam.

How to Generate and Develop Ideas

1. COPY and draw from existing images/objects.

2. Re draw and add CHANGES.

3. Re draw and COMBINE the best parts of two different designs.

4. Make sure you show a VARIETY of ideas with REFERENCE TO YOUR RESEARCH. (NC level 4)

5. Clarify your ideas through DISCUSSION with your peers and the teacher.

6. Add ANNOTATION to show you have considered:- size; materials; the specification points; the links to your research.

7. Think about your ideas and write down the good and bad points.

8. Use your knowledge of existing products to IMPROVE your designs.

Mark out onto Styrofoam using a pen.

Cut out using a hot wire cutter or coping saw.

Improve the shape by using a file if necessary.

Paint the model.

Add details and outline using a permanent marker pen.

Smooth the styrofoam using glass paper. This makes it ready for painting.

Add the finishing touches by attaching (using glue) extra components if your design requires it.

Is it the right shape?

Is it smooth enough?

Add the slot where the phone will sit by cutting out a groove or attaching extra pieces together with PVA glue

Year 7 Modelling Project 9/3/12

Homework

• Research – look at existing phone docks – print out/cut out 3/4 pics of ones you like.

• Try to find out how much they cost.

• Reference which website you found them on.

Product Analysis

Philips has launched the awesome new Fidelio series of docks. There are a total of five such docks for the iPhone that bring about an aesthetic feel to the way you listen to your music. Among the more elaborate versions is the DS9000 speaker dock that provides with good clarity of playback, a couch-like design to cradle your iPhone and a very rich build. The DS8500 is made to look good with or without an iPhone attached to it, this it achieves with the help of a chic design and sleekness. The SBD7500 is bolder and takes on a more macho look. It maintains the richness and brings about a ‘truly-portable’ design. The DS3000 and the DS1100 complete the line. The DS9000 ($500), DS8500 ($200), SBD7500 ($100), DS3000 ($80) and the DS1100 ($70) will all be available in the App Store.

Homework

• Complete final design presentations (to your highest standard)

• Make sure you add the title and annotations

Year 7 Modelling Project

Expectations for a Final Design

• There must be a title – e.g. Final Design for my Model phone dock

• The final design presentation should take up a whole page – do not start half

way down – remember, you usually have one large drawing and then a smaller

drawing to show a side view

• Your drawing should be a good size – not too small

• For the clock we will expect a front view

• It should be carefully drawn – not sketchy

• Neat and bold use of colour

• Outline with fine liner pen to make it stand out

• Add labels or notes for further explanations – we call this annotation
