Your Situation and Design Brief Situation Our lifestyles are changing rapidly. Our homes contain an ever-
increasing range of gadgets and equipment. It is fashionable to have multi-functional living spaces. We need creative, innovative products to help us organize our lives.
Brief A manufacturer of classic games has recognized a gap in the market for
a device that allows you to play games and store the parts in the same unit. The device could be used sitting at home, or on the move, e.g. in a car, plane or train. Design and make a playing surface / storage unit for playing games at home or on the move. Consider using CAD/CAM equipment and consider designing the product so that it can be flat-packed.
So.....what does this
mean?
Spend 10 minutes writing an introduction
to the project. (in rough) What will you be doing how will you do this? Write this into your introduction.
