For this assignment, I chose to design a flat packed CD rack which targets all music lovers. Its main purpose is to be able to be put anywhere in the house or living space so that the user is able to change the position of the cd rack whenever he/she gets bored of the existing position.
The first initial design was to make the cd rack hangable from wall which is something you don't see everyday. But then just one wouldn't be enough so I decided to add more cd racks so that they hang from the ceiling. Although after consultation, I came to realise that by having it like this, cds will easily fall out of the rack. Thus, making this design very bad and annoying.
In the end I decided to make the cd rack so that it lies normally on a flat surface. There was to be two cd racks that would be joined to make one large cd rack to provide more space to store cds.
The sheet material that I have chosen to use for the cd rack is polypropelene as it very bendable and can form into a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Whereas the fasteners that I used to join each piece together was press studs as it is very strong and durable which prevents the cd rack to collapse or fall apart.
Therefore the transformation from 2D to 3D is very easy as you only need to connect the press studs together although it can be quite time consuming with the amount of press studs that will need to be connected with one another. But nevertheless, I hope this product would satisfy the user if they were to receive it in the mail XD.
Good job...I like the way you transform the 2D sheets into functional cd holder. But i'm a little bit worry about the material that might not strong enough to hold the cds.
ReplyDeleteNice design and great idea. I think it could have been made clearer on the instruction sheet, maybe with labels or something to tell them apart.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, i like the engaging interactivty of the reciever, however it can get quite tedious using all those buttons. Perhams fewer buttons or a different fastener?
ReplyDeleteVery original design though, and maybe a stronger a material ? Perhams 1.2mm polyproplene.
The idea itself is good, but may be you should change the material? because it looks quite flimsy and therefore not very inviting to put CDs on it. What I like about your design is the fact that it can hold lots of CDs while using little material.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting idea but maybe you can take in the considerations of changing the marital in order to extend its lifespan, maybe try metal or thicker plastic. Your design is definitely very innovative I’m in love with the shape it almost looks like a fish bone to me.
