MY PROTOTYPE OF THE MAIL HOLDER

This is the prototype picture of my mail holder.

Evaluate

Evaluate

Although evaluation occurs constantly throughout your project, it is at this point that you formally document this process within your portfolio. You should include the following 4 headings in your evaluation (the four P’s);

Process:

Your process evaluation will allow you to acknowledge how effectively you used the design cycle (PRIME). This should be done in a discussion, though you may also ask the following questions;

1.    What would you have done differently?

2.    Did you allow enough time?

3.    Did I budget enough?

4.    Was your journal helpful?

Product:

MAKE

Begin implementing the solution you have chosen.

 Make

In addition to implementing your solution (creating your database), you should also be updating you portfolio, which may include the following;

·      Update your Project Plan, which may include a time line, action plan and/or Gantt chart.

·      Update your budget

·      Create a journal of your progress. This may include the following

ü  What I did today

ü  What went well

ü  What went wrong

ü  How did I fix it

ü  Reflect on time plan

Ideas

Ideas
In this stage you will identify your preferred solution, from one of the many you discovered for its use in the Making stage.


In this step you will undertake the following;

• Identify and justify your choice of solution (e.g. Microsoft access)
• List materials and/or software required (e.g. computer, windows xp, database software etc
• draw sketches of your solution (story boards, database schema etc)
• further investigate the solution you have chosen, particularly if you require further skill
• develop a project plan, which may include a timeline, action plan and or Gantt chart
• complete a budget
• NOTE:
• you a encouraged to use a range of mapping and/or brainstorming techniques within this stage
• 
  

Research

Research
 couraged to use a broad range of resources during this stage

Find out all the different ways to solve the problem.


In this step you will undertake the following;

• Find different ways to solve the database problem you are presented with (e.g. what soft ware to use................, what tools to use.............)
• compare different software programs, both in terms of features, cost and access

Also explore how other people/designers have solved simmilar problem  

• NOTE: you are encouraged to use a broad range of resources during this stage. this may include the following;
• the internet, text books,magazines and journals
• Ask people & experts for advise
• don't forget to commence your bibliography ( i.e. where I found my information)
• don't forget to include print screens of different software packages you have tried, websites you have visited and other important information.

Problem (design brief)

Problem (design brief)


the problem also known as the Design brief, is the situation you are presented with which requires a solution.

  in this step you will undertake the following to assist in understanding the presented design brief (problem)

• Firstly analyse the Design brief
• Highlight key words in the design brief
• Define any of the key words you are unfamiliar with
•  list any limitations or critaria you must adhere to
• Finally, determining exactly what the problem is that you must solve. the following strategy you may use to do this; Re-write the Design brief in own words (e.g. I have to ......., the problem is....., If I................., I will solve the problem) 

onguard safety test-online test certificate.

when you finish the consolidation test from onguard pro safety online test, it gives you the online certificate



                                       this is the first certificate and is about handling metal work                   

                                    this is the second one and is about personal protective equipment                              

 

this is the third one and is about the warning signs

 this is the fourth one and is about the hot melt glue gun

 

and this is the fifth one and is about the woodworking handtools 

 

and this one is the general machine work safety

onguard safety test online

our class had to do a safety test before we move on to the making section. so we had to do a test on a website called 'onguard safety training'       

 

first we had to read some safety informations for various tools.

this picture is the information about a cold chisels. it says, A cold chisel is a tool made of tempered steel used for cutting 'cold' metals, meaning that they are not used in conjunction with heating torches, forges, etc. The are four common types of cold chisel. These are the flat, diamond, cross cut and round nose.

now this is the  Files and the Jewellers saw.

and this is the tin snips and the hacksaws.

and this is the aviation snips

and this is the bench shears

and this is the steel rules and the scriber

and this one is the engineer's square and the combination square.

these are calipers and dividersthese are the ball pein hammer and  the tin mans mallet

this is the pop rivet gun

The cardboard model of my clock

this pictures are the cardboard model of my clock

now these are the backof my model

planning for my clock creation

My Example- I have to go to play tennis for school at saturday but I'm usually late so i want to make a clock that looks like with tennis court.

Class Example- I am always late to school

Design cycle- we use prime 

Prime- P-Problem

            R-Research

            I-Idea

            M-Make

            E-Evaluate

 Problem

        The Problem is the listing of Limitation and I will add more about it when we discuss it in the class.

      Research-
  Research is about what we need to find out about to make our clock.

            -Decide on the theme of clock

        -Then reseach some images that are relavent to my designs

          -Research what is a clock

         -Research how does the clock work

              -Research what components are in clock

               -We use acrilic so we can research what acrilic is.

            -Then research the similar designed clock and take a look at it.

         -What type of other materials can I use

            -What is my budget

          -How much will this all cost

            -Time frame

     -Have a go on using acrilic with making a letter holder.

                                                         

                                                                            Ideas

                                                             

         

                                                                 see the chart below

                                                                             Make

                                                    The M is simple it just stands for make,

           when I'm finished with making my clock I will take a picture of it and then i'll post it on here

                                        and also the picture below is the design sketch of my clock

E is a bit simple to

e stands for evaluate.

yes..... I'l come back to this later when i finish making my clock.

                           

my first words

This blog will be used for my school, knox grammar school's tech class. This unit I am learning to making a clock. I was at Ms Andrics class but the term 1 is now over so I'm now in Mr Bailey's class. Mr Bailey said too post the procedures of making clock and making portfolio in the Blog. That's why I created this blog!
