the product below is chipsmore mini. the size of this is smaller than it's original sizing, which makes it fits into your mouth in one bite. Moreover, finishing in one bite can save up a lot of troubles, for instance, you won't have to worry that cookie crunches would fall onto your carpet while you enjoy your favorite chocolate chip cookies. hence, this has good scale and proportion.

this product below is a gigantic pencil, i believe we all wanted it back when we're younger because it looks cool as it looks like it came out from a cartoon or something. But once it reaches our hands, even as a child, we find it useless as it is just too monumental and it is really hard for us to write anything with it, moreover, it is very tiring to grip onto such a gigantic pencil. Even as an young adult, our hands are bigger than last time, i still find it energy draining and difficult to write with this. This product gave me difficulty to write, hence, it has a poor scale affects experience.

this product is very innovative, as it solves a problem that no one has even thought that it is necessary. this cup has a line on the body of the outer part, this way the last drop of whatever drink you were having will never reach to the bottom of the cup creating a big circular stain onto the table the cup is resting on. this design is innovative and the design is as little as possible but it has already solved so much problems, hence, it is a product with good beauty and proportion.

this product actually does nothing, it only has a usb cable stuck onto it and that's it, it doesn't store information, it doesn't play songs, it doesn't light up, and etc. Useless is ugly, hence, it is a product with poor beauty and proportion

Another poor example of affordance is this knife where both sides of the knife are shaped the same, and both the handle and the blade are metal. This makes it hard to differentiate which side to use to cut things. User might be mistaken and use the handle to cut instead.

An alternative solution is to make the shapes of the blade and the handle differently. This allows the user to automatically know the shape with the sharper side is the blade.

The handle material can be replaced from metal to plastic so users can easily realise the metal side is the blade.

Also, changing the colour of the handle to a colour not similar to metal such as red will let the user be able to differentiate the blade and the handle more clearly because of its obvious colours.

A poor example of affordance is this watch which has multiple buttons which seems to show that they are for different function but only the button on the right has function to adjust the hand of the clock, other buttons are useless and just for design. This might lead to user trying to press the buttons that will not work. Also, it is unclear of which side to turn the button in order to adjust the hands of the clock.

An alternative solution is to get rid of the unnecessary buttons and only include the button needed to adjust the hands of the clock. The button to adjust the hands of the clock is placed on the strap of the watch and will adjust the time by turning the button in the way the hand of the clock is turning. For example, you can turn the button the clockwise direction if you want to turn the hand of clock clockwise.

A good example of scale affects experience is tatami mat house. In the past, tatami mat house served as study rooms for rich people in Muromachi period before it became a place for activities such as conducting tea ceremonies in Japanese traditional culture and for people to live in today. Thus, a low ceiling being designed as people usually sit down on the floor when in tatami mat house as there are no chairs. This creates a smaller space, which scales evokes emotion and make the people in the house feel more calm and cozy.

According to Le Corbusier’s modular man, advantages of a lower ceiling is cheaper to heat and allows intimacy.

The product designer that i wish to do research from the given list is Ross Lovegrove.
Ross Lovegrove was born in Wales but raised in Penarth by his parents who were first cousins which both hold the name Lovegrove. His father was a Naval Officer, HWJ Lovegrove known as ‘Stromy’. His spouse is an architect named Miska Miller-Lovegrove.

He graduated from the Royal College of Art in London with a Masters Degree in Industrial design in 1983 showing seminal works, such as, Kodak Digital Camera and Equestrian Chaise longue.

He was selected to be amongst the five top French designers with Jean Nouvel and Phillippe Stark to be a member of the Atelier De Nimes at the age of 27.

His designs are inspired by the logic and beauty of nature and possess a trinity between technology, materials science and intelligent organic form, creating what many industrial leaders see as the new aesthetic expression for the 21st Century.

I am surprised that his designs is always embedded a deeply human and resourceful approach in his designs, which project an optimism, and innovative vitality. For instance, the chair shown below which has the idea of lifting the part where the legs will be rested in a higher position where I personally think that it is going to be super comfortable to rest my legs on one of these chair especially after a long and tiring day.

Ross Lovegrove faces problem where he is unable to design out all of his visualisation and his dream  as he doesn’t have the time, energy and his small studio also limit the resources that he is able to create with.

The recycle bin is poor affordance as people tend to throw paper into any of the three bins. The top of the bins is opened too widely. It confuses public in practicing recycling. Users are failed to do their reaction instantly, and easily throw anyhow. As for modification, to prevent exploiting, the top of the bin should be designed with a common shape for glass, plastic, and paper. In addition change the flat top to curve top to encourage public in using the bins.

This watch is an example of poor affordance as there are five adjusting buttons around the watch, and user are not sure which button is for which function. Users are required try an error to get the function they want. As for suggestion, button for date and time can change to rotating the button at the side and only leave a press button for light to make it more convenience to use and enhance the affordance.

(Scale affects Experience of Object/Products )

This is a bad example in scale experience. It’s a design influenced by tree. However, the big scale of the trolley’s impact is giving negative experience during shopping as the height is unreasonable for average height. It requires more work done to place things on top and lift down for payment. In term for each segment, its way too small and blocking other things, as we can see from the picture, the milk is higher from the box. Furthermore, the structure looked unstable, unbalance, and easily trip over if user put things like 10kg rice.

This a Latch Table by Vincent.Bergogne. As we can see it’s a giant wood peg, which function as a table. The visual effect impresses us through an interesting way by enlarging a tiny thing that we use daily, a contrast, and enlarging into a big scale. The structure of the product is symmetric and remain the image of wooden peg, scale and proportion of the product is reasonable and eye catching. A product that makes people reflect on what if human are small, and all the things are bigger than us, stay humble.

In my point of view, this chair is a poor product as it looks uncomfortable to use it. It’s not understandable, either sitting or lying down the chair seems to be shaky and unable to stabilize one's weight. Furthermore, the distance between table and sit is vary for different user and doesn’t follow human ergonomics& behaviours.

This product is beautiful with the design especially the packaging which is also made from soap. It’s eco-friendly as the packaging is biodegradable. For the design of packaging, it looks aesthetic, because of the mono colour in use is comfortable to see and appears to be little design as possible. As a prevention for Soapbottle from dissolving due to the liquid filling, it’s coated with a water-insoluble layer. I like this product so much which lead to a zero waste lifestyle.

A poor design of form of function is the hourglass salt & pepper shakers. It’s uncomfortable to use as the middle part of the body has only provide a little space for salt & pepper to access. This product is non useful as it creates inconvenient for the user. It’s not understandable as the holes on top are also too small and easily get stuck by alt & pepper.

Stopper for door

Another example of objects/products with poor affordance.

Many users at home uses this product when they want to close the door apart or stop the door from banging close when the wind pushes. The issue is that this small stopper may sometimes misplace or gone missing. Making users search for the stopper or use other object to prevent the door from moving. They needed to make the effort and time to find the stopper and find the part they want to stuck it  Therefore, they need to innovate the idea of the stopper to make it convenient and easy for users to use.

Door from a train toilet

One of the examples of objects/products with poor affordance.

Labelled badly with unclear icons such as adding words on top of the icons to explain what they mean. The labels were badly placed and the arrows next to the words, making it unclear which button the labels were for. There are piles of information around this design, trying to help people to use it successfully. Many won’t notice the signs because it’s not where their attention is at the time, or they do not bother to take the time to read and press what they think will. Thus, this will create delay and sometimes chaos when people tend to use the toilet.

The piece of sculpture in the middle of the coffee table creates an overpowering visual impact in the room, it interferes the users visual with each other. One oversize piece will force the room out of balance. The other objects are in balance and in the right proportion to everything else compared to the sculpture there. The sculpture does not provide balance or aesthetic purpose to the space. This obstruct the users view and visually distract them.

A good example of how scale affects experience of products.

The extreme tranquility of space and detailed concision of the architecture blends perfectly, in the term of configuration and structure, creating exquisite and illusion when building the unique Dream Pavilion.

The numbers of oversized floating pavilion roof offer aesthetic and innovative way of dividing spaces for gathering or meet up.  This kind of design attracts users to amaze, or sometimes simply to inspire. The volume of the space allows the pavilion to become the focus in the space and users simply interacts with the surrounding and appreciate the spatial meaning.

- Screen of movie theater

The size of the screen is multiplied  compared with the television in our house, same goes to the visual impact the viewers experience. The scale of screen also allows people to have deeper impression and satisfaction.
Another interesting fact of movie theater is although the screen is big, but the viewers do not feel pressurise as the ceiling in movie theater is high, thus provide the viewers a sense of openness. While to provide the viewers a secured and comfortable environment, the light is switch off.
This chain reaction that fulfil the requirement of users contribute to the extend of movie theater since 1896.

The wrist band looks uncomfortable to wear, you have to squeeze your hand through, and the thin band might pull at the skin.

1) What do I think is “Product Design”? What are my expectations from this elective?
Product Design is something where quality product where the product itself brings out a story or show another perspective in life to others. My expectations from this elective are bringing me to view every product in this world in a way that I wouldn’t have ever thought to view and also express my own stories and feelings with my own design of products.

2) What are my thoughts on the Utilitarian function, Emotional attitude, Cultural style and Belief / Purpose of Product design.
These aspects act as a guideline when it comes to product designing. These aspects are important as it is able to express out different feelings and the personality of the users of products with the same purpose.

3) Importance of understanding Maslow Hierarchy of Needs (in relation to Product Design) to even your course of study
It is important to understand Maslow Hierarchy of Needs as it shows us to design a product that satisfies the needs and wants of our users and customers. This will greatly enhance the sales of the product as more people are able to understand the perspective that we are trying to show them.

A good example of beauty and proportion would be this reusable, eco-friendly tote bag.  At first glance, it is pleasing to the eye with its simplistic design. These types of bag originated from Africa, and nowadays, you can get them anywhere, with whatever design you prefer. They can be used for grocery shopping, school, work, anything to replace plastic bags, this also means that they are durable and have space to hold many things, without being too big.

I would choose the Walkie-Talkie skyscraper in London. It does look aesthetic made of glass, but its concave design concentrates sunlight on the street below, effectively cooking everything in sight. The light is apparently so hot that local residents have taken to cooking meals on the street. So the appearance was carefully considered, but not how the design would affect other things like the surroundings in this case.

A good example of form follows function would be this Dyson hairdryer. I think this is a good design as the size and weight is not too big or heavy, allowing users to move it around easily while blow drying their hair. The handle is slim and long, making it easy to hold and press the buttons with one hand. The heat and wind strength are easy to adjust with the buttons, include 3 options each, most hair dryers only include 2 options. It also won’t suck your hair in while blow drying, with the unique design at the centre. Additionally, it has many different magnetic attachments for different styles and hair types.

a bad example is spongebob ice cream. spongebob is almost symmetrical and proportionate character that came to life in the 1999 and brought plenty of joy & laughter into our lives but can I get a moment of silence for the spongebob ice creams that look nothing like spongebob and on top of that, very demonic. the idea & concept was there & how they carried it out was decent, could’ve been better but I doubt any of them expected the ice creams to just turn out so BAD when they start melting. it is not honest because customers will open the ice cream package thinking that they will get something that looks like what's on the right side of the image (happy cute spongebob) but instead opening up the wrapper & seeing what's on the left instead...
ice cream is also not exactly environmentally friendly as well all know due to it being made up of dairy and palm oil.

It also has an angular, soft touch-handle that allows easier grip for the user.

a bad example is the ikea stelna cup. its basically a normal cup but instead of having a normal handle that’s hollow, it has a small block of glass as its handle. i think this product is not exactly practical because if you were to make a cup of hot tea or coffee in the kitchen and want to enjoy it in a different room, the mug would be too hot to touch & the handle would be difficult to hold as well due to the small surface area on top of the handle also being hot. hence, rendering the mug useless when it comes to serving hot drinks. also, the mug would be more prone to slipping out of user’s fingers if glass surface were to be wet making it useless no matter how much more durable to impact it is made to be if you cannot have a firm grasp on it.

Chosen designer: Zaha Hadid

family & education background
born on 31 October 1950 in Baghdad, Iraq.
died on 31 March 2016 from Bronchitis.
graduated from American  University of Beirut with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.

design philosophy & style
- she has a very minimalist & simple style that she gives an edge to using shapes whether it be asymmetrical or symmetrical.

- her works consists of mainly white buildings with curves and lights, giving her works the minimalist and futuristic feel.

-she believes that she can make architecture into an art form, incorporating art in our everyday lives even though her works were seen was circular forms that are unconventional by others.

what surprise you about their approach to designing products/inspiration
-she draws inspiration from her surroundings

-it is surprising because who would’ve known vineyards and farmland inspired her work Vitra Fire Station in Germany as I find the resemblance uncanny… but you if you think of it as a futuristic version of a farm it does start to make sense

a work that truly inspires me
I don’t think I can simply one as Zaha Hadid has many inspiring and she does not stick to a style of architecture, but the Guangzhou opera house has left a really huge impact on me. I remember talking a walk after dinner one day while I was on vacation after semester 1, and from far away I saw this building that was lit up, and it stood out in contrast to all the other building because of how it was shaped like a triangle with numerous small bright triangles that misty night. It really mesmerized me as it’s not every day that you get to see a building not shaped rectangularly and it was a first time for me. I remember thinking to myself how special and unique the opera house was, not knowing who was the person behind it.

challenges they faced on the design project
-definitely critics! Everyone has haters

-thriving and making a name for herself at the beginning when she’s a woman in a male dominated industry on top of being Arab- which is a minority

I learnt that you can cooperate art into your everyday life and that it doesn’t have to be made complicated or extravagant, something simple can stand out too and we can draw inspiration from the things around us but always think out of the box. don't be afraid to pursue what you want to.

A poor example of form follows function would be this limited edition Evian 2005 triangle glass water bottle. Although the design is unique, the shape of it makes it hard to hold while drinking, especially when your hands are sweaty. The small size will not be able to hold much water. The cap also makes it inconvenient to drink, as you will need to remove the outer cap, before unscrewing the inner cap to drink.

a bad example of beauty and proportion (i think) is the remote control. it takes quite a while to find (a) specific button(s), inconveniencing the user. it has too many buttons, making it hard to understand. even after using the same remote controller for a year or more, one never truly knows what every single button is for and they never really get used to it. also, the button labels may fade over time or get scratched off and other buttons don't even have labels to start with

a good example of beauty and proportion (i think) is this set of stackable table and 2 chairs (pic at the bottom). it is able to be stacked safely atop one another unlike other tables and chairs that have a similar design, that can't be stacked or folded in a pleasant decorative manner. when more space is needed where the table and chairs set is, it can be conveniently stacked in a corner and placed out when the area is not in use. it is a rather simple design made out of rattan and is actually quite comfortable.

product: Reliant Robin (three-wheeled car)

shape: 1 wheel at the front, 2 wheels at the rear. engine is at the front of the car with rear-wheel drive, single front wheel for steering

purpose of the product: a car. to transport people or objects from one point to another. it saved owners 55 pounds(currency) a year over a conventional car, it was registered and taxed at motorcycle rates until December 2012

effectiveness: not effective at all. could not perform its function. it was a safety hazard and loved to 🤬 over (tip over forward)on even the slowest of turns.

having the engine in the front of the car when it has only 1 front wheel was not the smartest idea. the engine is heavy and the singular wheel in front would not be able to balance out the weight when turning, i think...to say the least, it was a huge flop.

GOOD-
Golden section is also used in the design of the appearence of cars. This is a Jajuar type sports car that uses this golden section, so the appearence shows a nice fairshaped stream line form.
This example treck the boxes of
1. Innovative, because the style of the appearance is different from the other cars and makes the owners feel being impressed.
2. Aesthetic, the golden porpotion and the streamline style and the bright red colour makes it aesthetically pleasing.
3. Useful.it makes this product which is the car itself useful because the reason people choosing the appearence of their car is to please himself or proving his wealth and a nice designed car satisfy that.
4. Long lasting   I think the streamline design makes the car more long lasting because it prevents it from more air resistance and the paint more last longer.
5. Thorough to the last detail
A design of the car appearance should be accurate in the measurement and the angles to make sure the external wont affect the insider runs well.
7. As little design as possible
The design of the external of cars mostly use minimalism style to show the attractiveness of modern style.

POOR-
I believe everyone has met this awkawrd situation before, this is really frustrating when you need to use two plugs and the same time and there is no way to adjust the position or else...
1. innovative
This design is not innovative because i am sure the technology nowadays can solve this problem and ensure the voltage of electricity and the safety of users.
2. aesthetic
This product is not intend to be made aethetically pleasing since they just need this to be funtional for the mass people.
3. useful
In my opinion this wall plug is not that useful since it only satisfy one plug instead of two.
4. Understadable
This wall plug is understandable because when people saw that, they would find the holes match the jack plug of their charging wire easily.
Since this is not aesthetically designed, the principle of Little design as possible, thorough to the last detail cannot be took into consideration.

GOOD-
This is a design of the pressing pump of the shampoo bottles. The designer observed that in daily life, people need to use both hands to do this easy pressing motion, one hand to press, one hand to get the shampoo. Well somtimes we may filling one hand with a towel or a loofah, but still we need to free both of our hands to get that shampoo.
The new design of the form of the pressinhg pump satisfy the function for both pressing and getting shampoo at the same time.And this work won the designer a Red Spot prize.
1. useful
It doesnot effect the function of the pressing pump and even improving it and providing more convenience.
2. innovative
it is rebuilt with an fresh innovative idea to improve the product.
3. aesthetic
the design of the two pieces and the light colour still match the outer packing of the bottle and make it aesthetically pleasing.
4. unobstrusive
the external appeaence has change, simultaneously assure the function.
5.little design as possible
the new design is not compliated that take over the main focus of the whole product.
6.understandable
since the new design has gone through the observation of peoples habit in pressing the pump, people will immidiatly understand the reason of adding on the two pieces beside.

POOR-
It loos like the design takes consideration of kids' height and lower the height of the wash basin.
However, as you can see in the picture, the wash basin is still difficult for the kid to reach the tap because of the length of the plat. It means that the designer did not thoronghly reflect on the function of the wash basin the the aspects of the using experience for kids. That carelesness hinder the normal function of this production ,so make the change of form meaningless.
1. innovative
the changeto the height of the basin is not a fresh idea, it can be commonly seen almost every market restroom.
2. aesthetic
this kind of design is not aesthetically pleasing. the matching colour is dull and not modern.
3.understandable
anyhow, the lowering of the basin still makes it understandable that this is specially made of children.

One example would be the tip ton chair. It has a simple design, allowing the user to change between a relaxed or forward leaning position. Its interesting shape allows the chair to stay in its place when rocking forward with special 'skids'. It is also lightweight, durable, stackable.

This is a same chair product as 3B bad but in the other hand this chair just gives people a sense of stability although the supporting material is just a few rods of steel. The wooden block they use to put as on the sitting area and back area also give viewers a sense of stability to sit on.

This product gives people a sense of uncomfortable due to its weird proportion. People would not want to sit on a chair like that. Even though the base could be stable but it still gives the viewers a sense of unstable.

This product is a silicon non-slip shoe which can protect our safety and shoe when rains and show. This link below shows the demonstration of how is the product used.

As shown in the demonstration, it covers our shoes nicely, aesthetic, portable, easy to use and prevent us from slipping. It also have reasonable price which only cost us $19.90 now, it is worth as our shoe cost much more than that.
I believe this product fulfill the principle of Beauty from the overall design, function and sustainablility.
This product do follows proportion of human feet too as it is elastic and stretchable.

I choose this plastic bottle as an bad designed product because it is not long-lasting and not environmental friendly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT8pEDdvmDM
here is a video that shows the reason of why there is only so little amount of plastic is recycled
The volume of water that can be carry is very little (50ml) , although is aesthetic appealing, but the main point of the design (can be stack together) require more than 2 bottle to fulfill. This creates more wastes and is not sustainable, it destroy the beauty of nature and not maximize the use of the bottle (proportion).

This boot opening is exposed thus, it does not fulfill the function of boots,  although it might looks fashion and aesthetic for some of the people. Maybe the intention of the designer is only for fashionable purpose.

(Forms follows function)

A good design of form follows function is Fire Hose Reel. It's design normally nothing but with red which easily catch public attention. As a common-sense fire is in red, and red colour is a sign of hazard and automatically, people could notice with quick reaction. Through education, we know that fire hose reel is only use for fire.

From function perspective, it's easy to use during emergency. Turn on the water supply at the stop valve, then turn the water on at the nozzle. After that, direct the stream at the fire base. The length of the hose allows the user to extend to a further place.

Fire Hose Reel is either useful or good in design that suit its purpose. It’s product useful and understandable.

one poor example of this chair is that the back support of it is too high up for the user to lean on and since the  back support is not fully cover the user may accidentally lean on it and fall back from the chair.

one good example of the is that the chair feels stable to sit on because of the material selection .

1A) Reflection : dimension of product design

What i know about product design is that it is item that has been design for every user to use.

What i want to learnt more about product design is to design something more which will be able to last longer for the user to use and even to make it more appealing.

One good example of perfume is that it has different scent which suits your personality. The most appealing about perfume is that the glass bottle attracts customer more.

One poor example of perfume is that the spray of the bottle could easily get spoilt or even crack whenever you accidentally drop it.
