Criteria C - Creating the solution

frame:
what i did to create this frame is :
1. I firstly took a cube and extended it to make it look like the base of the frame which is rectangular
2. Then i took a shape which is called sphere which is a round shape, i then  make a hole in them and put it through the base so it looks like the lenses( I do it two times)
3.After that i took the cube and made it very long and thin so its the temples and attached it to the base.
4. I then added a shape called bunny ears to make it more realistic and then i attached it to the temples.
The most challenging part was to make the lenses and temples look equal , as well as putting everything together since it was very complicated but simple at the same time.

PHONE holder:
To make the PHONE holder you ;
1. Firstly take a cube and make it wide and long so that will be the holder itself
2. Then you take a cylinder and make it long and thin , after doing that attach it at the front of the holder.
3. Take another cube and make it in an rectangular shape and make it thin. Do it one more time and attach it to the sides of the holder.
4. Lastly take another cube and extend it and make it wide , then make it rectangular and attach it at the back to support everything. You can make it any color i made it black and gray
The most challenging part was making the rectangular sides equal.

I made a butterfly syringe , i made it by :
1.i First took the tube and places it on my work surface
2. i then took the cylinder and made is small and thin and places it on top of the tube.
3. Then i took the hexagonal prism and made long and thin , i placed it on top of the cylinder.
4. Then i took a cone to make it look like the tip of a syringe and added a needle by using the hexagonal prism shape and making it very thin and short
5. Lastly i added bunny ears to both sides to make it look like wings , i also added color .
The hardest part was to make the wings look equal and real.

criteria B- developing ideas

CLASS ACTIVITY , design specification 

1. DESIGN SPECIFICATION
2. SKETCHES
3. ACCURATE DRAWINGS

Design solutions 

solution 1 - syringe



Reflection 
I already knew what i was doing but to improve my idea i thought about what kids these days liked and drew many sketches to find the best sketch and improve it further  .The sketch was not very hard to draw but it took a little time. The highlight of product is the toy which attracts the children and gets distracted when they are getting their vaccination. I think i annotated very well since its detailed and specific. I also used related terminology.  I used a  pencil ,color pencils and an A4 paper.


solution -2 


Reflection 
I came up with the sketch by looking at ideas on the internet and i incorporated some of my own ideas . The sketch was a little complicated to draw and was time consuming . The highlight of the product is the whole product itself since itself since its one whole product , its not in pieces. I annotated it well because its very detailed and i have covered most of the important things. I used a pencil , a marker and used an A4 paper to sketch portrait. 









justification - frame 1

Reflection 
I came up with the sketch by looking at frame designs online and what can someone wear for their everyday life. I used a pencil , colors and A4 paper to sketch the solution. The sketch was not complicated at all , it was very easy to sketch since i had a very simple idea . I think my annotations are very clear and detailed.  The highlight of the frame is the material since that is what is making the frame strong and flexible.

Justification - frame 2 
I came up with the design by looking at my first frame and trying to see the difference , like this frame is for adults unlike the other one which is made for kids. I used  a pencil , shading technique and A4 paper. I think the highlight of the frame is the material becasue frames break daily and this is made for everyday life (the material is very strong) . It was not hard to draw and took aroung 5 -10 minutes. I think i did well on annotating but i could add more to it and make it more clean.

 Justification - syringe 1 
I came up with the butterfly syrine by thinking what girls liked and then i decided to make it in the shape of a butterfly , since that is what girls like. The highlight of the syringe is the shape since that is what distracts the children while they are getting their vaccination.The sketch was a little difficult to draw and took 10-15 minutes. I think i annotated pretty well but i could make it a bit clear. I used color pencils , girly colors and A4 paper.

Justification - phone holder 2 
I came up with the idea by searching a phone holder online and adding my own twist to it . The highlight of the phone holder is the whole product itself, since its one whole product and it does not come in peices or has something very special. I think i annotated the sketch very well and used the correct terms. The sketch was a challenging and took around 10 -15 mins. I used markers , color pencils and A4 paper

Design brief : syringe

The UAE Nurses Association claims that one of the most difficult parts of their job is
dealing with small children who have a fear of needles.Although the association has some
tips and tricks like putting numbing cream to partially freeze the surface of the skin
before injecting medicine, sometimes the anxiety levels of small children are so high that
it is difficult to get them to hold still.If only there was an easier way to administer
medicine within the syringe.

 I am going to create a syringe by which the small children will take the vaccination without any hesitation.  The main features of the product includes : the plastic syringe , toy attached to  syringe  and liquid / water.  Doctors like pediatricians will use the syringes and nurses as well . The syringe can be used in clinics , hospitals and school clinic. The syringe will be a very eye catching color . The texture of the syringe is going to be smooth and the toy will distract the child . The toy will reduce the anxiety in  children; since the syringe has a toy, the eyes of the child will only be on the toy so for the child it looks like the toy is coming to it  while its actually injecting the child.  I am targeting mostly toddlers or small children. for girls there should be a specific color with a fantasy toy attached and for boys there should be a specific color  along with a car . The material used is plastic

Design brief 2 : frames of eye wear

eye wear frames  these day are breaking often and quickly due to the quality of the frame and the materials . By eye wear breaking often a lot of money has been spent and its hard to find good quality of eye wear. If only there was a strong and good quality of frames produced. Although people can find a really good quality of frame it could not last long , due to the frame being really fragile and thin ;even if thick its not made out of the right materials.

I am going to create a frame which will not break easily and will last very long. The main features of the frame : temples , front frames, hinges and nose pad .The material used will be titanium. Opticians / eye specialists can recommend  the frames. The frames could be used in clinics and hospitals and sold by opticians . The frame will be very smooth and thick so it will not break easily and it will be comfortable. The shape of the frame is like a typical frame except that there will be a padded support near the nose, since a lot of people find that area uncomfortable. The color will be very basic and the target audience is teens and adults, the frame can be for any gender. The frame will weigh like how other thick glasses weigh. The frame will be flexible and any pressure will not break it. Therefore your frame will not break and people would not have to waste time buying new frames.

Design brief 3 : Phone holder

Kids , adults and teens these days have devices which they use every day. The problem is that if they want to read or watch something its usually flat on the table or needs something to hold on to be stable and by that happening , it ruins your neck posture or hurts your wrists.  If only there was something which could prevent this problem.

I am going to create a phone holder which will be made from nylon and can extend so people do not have to have their phone flat  . The main features of the device holder is the base and on top of the base will be a rectangular hollow box  where the device can be placed. To extend you just have to pull the sides and it can extend further.  This product is perfect for any gender and any age , it will not affect your posture and it will not make your wrists he. The texture will be smooth as well as it will come in many basic and colorful colors. This can be sold/ recommended in electronics stores and maybe online. Therefore this product  will solve the problem of having your phone flat on the table and will prevent any health issues as well as its portable and convenient 

TERM 1

introduction : 
My name is Alissa Shah and i am from India. I have been Going to Eis meadows for around 8 years. I am 12 years old and i just moved to year 8. My hobbies include netball and badmiton. my favorite subject currently is English . My favorite colour has always been Black. I have two siblings and a dog which is in India. We created this blog as part of MYP design for this year. Our teacher has shown us how to be a good designer. In the previous year i have learned about very effective and powerful advertisements. In grade 7 , term 2 we created a product for the tech fair. I am still waiting to learn more about designing.
The subject MYP Design makes us understand the problems and analyse the work in a product which is already created. To be a good designer you have to be very observant and need to know how to note the flaws and need  a solution for the flaw while re- designing the product.

KEY CONCEPT : Devolempment 
RELATED CONCEPT : Ergonomics
GLOBAL CONTEXT : Personal and cultural expression 
STATEMENT OF INQUIRY : products devolopment creatively using the technique of 3D modelling to meet an individuals needs can increase their ability to function within the real world

The MYP design cycle consists of four stages :

criteria A:inquiry and analysing 
criteria B : developing ideas 
criteria C: creating the solution
criteria D : evaluating the solution

WHAT KIND OF LEARNER AM I ?

LAUNCH

REFLECTION

In class we reflected on 3 D printing . 3 D printing is also known as additive manufacturing .  Materials they use  : nylon,rubber,metal , silver and steel there are also more. 3 D printing is usually used by designers , engineer and more. The object which is being made is done in layers. 3 D printing is successful because the process is done really quickly [ 24 hours] and has been made in very big projects like the worlds first 3 D printed bridge was made in Amsterdam and Adidas and Parley for the Oceans collaborate to make a 3D printed shoe made from ocean plastic waste.

tinker cad 

This lesson on tinker cad was learning about the moves results. 
 The instructions below helped alot .
I learned the moves result by using the panels on the top right corner and by using the shapelist

















This tutorial of camera controls understood how to navigate around the object using View Cube.
 The view cube is used to view the object from different angles. It is called a cube because it has sides labelled :-
        Left, Right,Top, Bottom, Front and Back.
       Using the ViewCube I was able to navigate around the stage and thus see the man behind the stage.
















In this tutorial on tinkercad, I learnt how to create a holes and move a shape. I learnt that you can drag a shape from the right panel and I also figured out how to create a hole, using the lesson on tinkercad.
