PROTOTYPE Completed

Using the Stepper control board’s switches, the model’s shades are able to move up and down using 2 buttons. First photo shows the shades closed.

This photo shows when the shades were fully open. I then pressed the button to make the motor turn Anti-clockwise making the shades go back down.

Shades returned back to closed position.

In conclusion, from this experimentation process i have learnt how to develop a design using a theme/story from start to finish. The process of creating the design prompted me to be creative and imaginative using the design skills i know.

This process started with choosing a greek themed God character and doing research on their strengths and weaknesses. From there, artificial intelligence was used to generate ideas on the chosen character which best represents them. After doing the reaearch and aquiring ideas the experimentation phase began to start designing an object/installation turning a myth into reality. Studying different materials and mechanisms helped in gaining more ideas to generate a system which represents the chosen character/theme, at this stage i created a prototype to better understand the motion of my object.

Furthermore, This initial prototype was developed using sketches and further experimentation which landed me on my final design, i then created a model out of the feedback and development which would represent the real life design showing both it’s functioning and aesthetics.

Ultimately this unit gave me the skills and knowledge on how the creative design process works, from the earlier research stages to the final model making process.
