ZIS Upper School Design Principles

The designers of the ZIS upper school decided to make a principle that stated the need of a large central area which is bright and very open. The designers did a good job of this by creating a very open and bright first floor with a whole side full of windows. This area is very open and is used for relaxing and socializing with others. This area brings the school community closer together by all the different classes and grades being able to meet each other. This area is also used to eat during breaks so students can meet new people.

ZIS Upper School

The new ZIS upper school building is a very well designed building. It is a very simple yet modern looking building. It has a certain color scheme through out the building. The hallways are wide enough and high enough to walk freely without a stuffy atmosphere. The school is a solid building that will not break and stay in good condition for a long period of time. The new upper school is a building that you like to go to and enjoy being in. It has been well design to meet all expectations.

video design Review

Video 1 (furniture): These chairs are very comfortable to sit in and don't cause pain. The chair has a good looking modern design which at the time was very new and interesting. The chair was also stable and would not break easily. The design of the chair has also stuck and many other chairs have followed in its footsteps. The materials used in the chair make it light so you can carry it but also tough enough so it will not break.

Video2 (underground): The map of the London underground was very easy to read and to understand. Color coding and spacing out the map made it pleasant for the eye and simple. In this map form always followed function. This was a great piece of design to simplify the map. This is obviously a great design because it is still used today by just about every other transport company in the world.

My Company

Company name: Nike

Nike is a part company that sells sports equipment and clothes. Nike has multiple commercials that show their products. Nike is a very high class and powerful company if not the biggest sports company in the world. I want to redesign or improve many things about Nike. I want to improve on things such as advertising, quality and the look of certain products.

pre course survey

1. Describe some of the large design technology projects or assignments you have done in the past? (Products made such as posters, movies, web page; the software you used; and the steps in the process like planning, editing, evaluation, research)
   
2. What would you like or what are you hoping to learn about in this course and what prompted you to sign up?

I have created a movie in the past which required using a camera windows movie maker, and adding music from itunes. First we planned out the movie and came up with the content. Then, we filmed all of the scenes we needed and imported them onto windows movie maker. Then after all the editing we added music that worked well with the clips.

I like to create things and work with computers which is why I am doing this course. During it i would like to perhaps make another movie with friends and have fun doing it.

Great Phone Design

Great Design

Great Design 1

• Best selling products are good designs
• Good design aren’t as good as we thing because they are very hard to use
• Design should match up with expectation (need to fulfil)
• Old technology good and useful, new is complicated but looks better
• Value is added to the uniqueness of a piece
• Ease of use

Great Design 2

• Every product should be produced as cheap as possible
• A lot of things have to be taken into consideration when designing something
• Design only costs once, but it brings in more and more money, with ever product it sells
• Simple things don’t sell better, because more complicated things are needed such as colour types etc.
• Design can change lives of humans
• Artists beauty is irrelevant

Great Design 3

• Design gets you to be the #1 sold product in your category
• Getting every aspect of the design perfect, making a usable product, making the right tradeoffs between price and functionality, between flexibility and ease of use, between weight and battery life is not 100% necessary to be the best selling product
• Design has to be state of art
• No one should be able to compete with your design (it should be a must have product)
• Design has to meet my customer’s needs
• Design does not have to be 100% perfect (example: red bull)
• Has a certain flaw

My Phone

This phone is very easy to use and has a very simple but good design. With this phone you get a good working phone with a good appearance. The buyer can also personalize the color. It is a good size and can easily fit in your pocket. It is also very light and easy to carry.

It is a very nice phone to look at and has smooth design throughout the phone. It feels good to hold and carry around in your pocket. You definitely get a good phone for a low price. This is a flip phone and the buttons inside are also easy to use and to press.

The only flaw with this design is that the edges of the phone can easily break because they are a little weak. The design definitely meets all of the customer’s expectations.

This phone is advertised in many different ways such as T.V fliers, newspaper, etc. These help customers to see what is available to them, so the customer can compare products to each other. The product can be amazing, but if the customers don't know that it exists no one will buy it.
