E-Learning: Design Opportunities at Home Part 1

 I chose the first problem instead of the second in the end....... As you can see, the cupboard design in the kitchen is big and spacious, which is truly good, however, one negative point about the designs is that, when one is cooking, attending many things at once, it is definitely more convenient if the refrigerator is near to the stove. In this case, it is not, and sometimes it is a hassle when we want to do things.

Ideation

1) Shape Borrowing
- it is a way of designing that helps us be able to use a shape and create an object we want to create
- example would be to use a triangle and sketch out a phone holder possibly, with a flat base
- one fact is that we are able to come up with unique yet cool for people, who want to own the certain object you've created.
2) S.C.A.M.P.E.R
- an acronym made up of 7 different styles of designing that serves as a guideline to create even more extravagant things
- very useful for anyone (pros or amateurs)
- Substitute Combine Adapt Modify Put to other use Eliminate Rearrange
- assists anybody to use other creation and mix them up to make Modern day people like us live a better lifestyle
- we use this mainly to make our design easier and the functions more simplified but still greatly appreciated in the sales market and to appear well in its appearance
- has to be good-looking and not dull, to attract customer's attention to it, or maybe even a unique one-coloured design can grasp the customer's attention
- when something is not in good use or arranged weirdly, it stands out well
