E-Learning: Design Opportunities at Home Part 2

Final Product is the last sketch of the 1st picture

Sketching with Rubrics

 

The rubrics help me to visualise what is it that I need and want to draw. Before, I just drew what I had in mind. I did not think about its function and its design properly. With the rubrics, it helps me and I can get a better design with working functions.

E-Learning: Design Opportunity at Home Part 1

Design Appreciation

Good Designs:

This is a good design because it looks interesting and I would buy it as I can hang it up and use it as lamp. Its purpose is clear and it interests me so I would buy it. (Source: http://www.inhabitat.com/wp-content/uploads/nautilus1.jpg)

This is a good design because it looks very cute and people would buy it as it works as a thumbdrive and it looks very cute and tempting to eat. People who love sushi would most probably buy this to show off their love for sushi. (Source: http://ifindkarma.typepad.com/relax/images/sushi_usb.jpg)

Bad Designs:

This is a bad design as the person cannot hold the handle of the gun before shooting and therefore, he/she cannot get an accurate shot. (Source: http://www.ssw.com.au/ssw/Standards/Rules/Images/BadDesignGun.jpg)

This is a bad design as the person would have difficulty pouring water into the small cup sticking out from the "stem" of the glass.  The person would have problems drinking lots of water from the small little glass at the side.

Ideation

1. Shape borrowing means taking shapes that we can see in our everyday lives and putting them together to create something new or something that no one has ever seen. The shapes can be ordinary shapes or different but we can create something new with these shapes. 

2. We can use SCAMPER to change the appearance of an object by replacing one of its parts with something else that has the same function but a different design. We could also do that by making one of its parts bigger or smaller as long as they have the same function. We could also combine a part of the object and combine it with something that has a different design and same function. Its function can be changed by adapting it to any environment by reversing or rearranging the parts or eliminating unsuitable parts. By adding parts with different functions, we could have another use for the object.

Storyboarding

1. What is a storyboard?

A storyboard visually tells the story of an animation panel by panel, like a comic book. It is a graphic organiser that is like a draft or a mind map of what we are going to do.

2. how do we create a storyboard?

Use basic shapes, stick figures and simple backgrounds. Draw your storyboard in pen or pencil. You can take pictures or cut out pictures from magazines. You can also use a computer to make your storyboards. If you draw your storyboard  frames on index cards, you can rearrange to move parts of the story around. We could use open the storyboard template in pages on our Mac.

3. When or where is a storyboard useful?

It is useful for getting students to plan and visualise their ideas and to ensure that they do make use of a variety of shots and angles.
