to see how successful they have been and identify any areas in which they could be improved. 

How:

Go to someone that has experience doing this and ask them for advice 

To see if it fits in with the environment around it 

How:

I plan on making the clock to fit into a "modest" living room 

Sizes are important because if there were no precise size, it might be too big or too small

How:

Collect dimensions from inspirations and/or your design

Materials are important because for example, if the clock was made from a plastic bag it would be very flimsy and we want a durable clock.

How:

When buying materials, it's necessary to check the quality and durability because if its too weak/ bad quality, it could get ruined

We need to construct it properly or else it wont be durable.

How:

Data will be collected from the internet as well as on books

The precise clock i am going to make is the Laufey Bewitched: the Goddess Edition Vinyl because it is simple yet, modest and it would fit in any area.

The color of this clock is going to be monaco blue with white in the middle. The area for the record player will be where the "hands" are.

The numbers will be normal english numbers (not roman numerals) and the hour and minute hands will be white while the seconds hand will be cobalt blue.

The vinyl clock will be made with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) since its thin and durable.

The amount of time needed to finish this clock is around 4-5 weeks including research + drafts.

The diameter of this clock is going to be 25cm so it is not too big or too small. Making a medium sized clock will make it easier to see the time (not too small) and it won't take up too much space (not too big).

The circumference of the clock is 78.5cm so the number gaps will be 3cm as the numbers will be 3.5cm big width wise.

The reason why i am not making it roman numerals is because it would be too "fancy" for the design and it is hard for people to understand as the american numbers, it will be easy for people to understand.

this clock looks like a very unique design from afar however, if you look from close up, it looks wrong and not that nice.

Customer:

i feel like the main audience for this would be a little kid's room because it would mostly be for decoration since you can't even tell the time with the cracks.

Environment:

this looks like it could be environment friendly and biodegradable and also easy to get material for it.

Size:

this clock looks like a medium-sized clock but i also looks like a large clock at the same time.

Function:

this is a pretty thin clock so it dont think its a functioning clock because the gears that makes clocks function are normally thick

Material:

this clock is mainly wood but i think the "hands" are made out of flat polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

- Demographics: Professionals, design enthusiasts, and young people (18–35).

- Opportunity: Close the gap in the market for creative clock designs.

4. Why Solve This Problem?

- Market Demand: There is a rising need for unique home decorations.

- Competitive edge: A unique clock might draw in customers..

5. How to solve this Problem

- Solution: Create a programmable clock with unique colors, and materials.

- Functionality: Silent operation, precise time management, and optional smart functions.

- Visuals: Wood, PVC, and acrylic are used in a modern look with parts that can be swapped.

- Requirements:

Diameter:  25-30 cm

Cost: Reasonably priced.

Durability: Materials that tolerate impact.

This clock gives off a very steampunk kind of vibe and would only look good in like a antique store and not likely seen around houses.

Customer:

The people who would buy this would probably be a clock collecter or someone who owns antique stores because this is not a normal clock.

Environment:

This looks like it is non biodegradable because it looks like it's made out of rusted copper.

Size:

This definitely looks like a very large clock as it has many parts to it and it just looks like it would take up alot of space.

Function:

Since there's 2 main clock parts of this clock, i think the left hand side of this clock is the only functional part of this clock.

Material:

this clock is mainly copper/ metal.

This is a very basic clock but it catches your eye really easily which is a very smart marketing strategy.

Customer:

The target audience for this is probably someone whos favorite color is red or someone who might want a pop of color.

Environment:

This would fit in a red themed room or house but it is very attracting and would pop off compared to all the basic-colored clocks.

Size:

this looks like either a medium sized clock, or a medium clock because if it was too big it might not look appealing.

Function:

this is a very basic-functioning clock and nothing that special.

Material:

this looks like it is made of plastic and acrylic glass and maybe metal for the hands.

The diameter of this clock is going to be 25cm so it is not too big or too small. Making a medium sized clock will make it easier to see the time (not too small) and it won't take up too much space (not too big). 

It could take me a few weeks to complete this clock because  I need to finalize the design, get a manufacturing company, and get the actual final product.
