Design and Technology assessment 2

we all know the stress and mental strain.

Work, school and life in general can often put on

our shoulders every minute counts in our busy lives, and

often when we lose time in traffic, always time procrastinating.

There can be severe consequences to one's well being and

happiness as made evident by these shocking statistics.

There is a prevalent need to increase the productivity of

the lives of school students and adults in a bid

to alleviate some of this stress.

The common excuse of I don't have time needs to

be addressed to ensure people are able to balance productivity

and relaxation in their lives every day.

Upon my explorer exploration of this idea of productivity and

wasted time, I was able to identify where we often

lose lots of time unknowingly car trips through observations made

during personal car rides, to the beachfront houses, holidays and

more. It becomes quite obvious that as a passenger in

the car our hours can go by that could have

been spent finishing something important.

The these these observations justify this need for car right

productivity in order to effectively make use of time every

day. A survey and questionnaire sent to people justifies this

need 96.3% of respondents find that to a certain extent

car rides waste time whilst 90 96.3% think that it

would be useful to be productive during car rides.

The short answer questions in summary prove a lack of

enjoyment present during long car rides, and the difficulty to

be productive in the car as a space to do

things is limited.

As these examples show, many people find it difficult to

be productive in the car simply because the opportunity is

not present.

Lastly, to gain a more informed perspective.

Through my exploratory research, I conducted an interview.

My first question was how do you feel one stuck

in the car for a long drive with a lot

of work that needs to be done soon or and

answers mentioned feeling stressed and or agitated, evidently time is

being wasted, but there isn't an opportunity to do anything

about it.

The next question about boredom had all people interviewed responding

with yes, being productive, being recreationally productive is another problem.

Sometimes finding recreational activities can be difficult.

The third question describe how productive you are during car

rides um, has a general trend of people being unproductive

and as a result being left stressed and unable to

do anything.

And in the last question, the two school students who

were surveyed responded with exam season as the worst time

to go on a long car trip and the two

adults responded with one when school reports are due, which

was a teacher and two winter.

I have the most patients, which was a doctor.

All these answers justify the need for productivity during car

rides. As it is not something that is currently available

or easy to achieve, linking this back to the desk

research completed.

Many people feel stressed like they don't have enough time

to do the work they need to.

If productivity increases in the car, this may give people

more time to themselves and as a result, eliminate some

stress from this.

The design brief was drawn design and produce a portable

table that can be used to maximize productivity in the

car. This actively addresses the identification and exploration of the

need as a table will offer, desk space can be

used for recreation and office productivity opportunities.

There are multiple areas that must be investigated to endeavor

successfully into this project.

Target market, which is about who your target, who I'm

targeting and what my users need and want.

The method will be through questionnaires and surveys and the

reason is that it's necessary to determine the design requirements,

Who is most likely to need productive car time and

what it will look like for different people.

The next is budget.

What will my target market be willing to pay and

what and what is the most affordable for me?

The method of investigation is through survey and desk research

and the reason is to ensure the final, the success

of my final design in the business environment.

I need to know what people will be willing to

pay and I must ensure I stick to my budget.

Areas of investigation also include existing ideas, what things have

been created already to increase productivity in the car and

can I use this as inspiration?

The method will be through observations and desk research.

And the reason is to investigate possible features that can

be added to my design to elaborate on things that

have been successful already materials and tools, what materials will

be most suited for car use?

What tools can effectively create something to satisfy the need.

This can be investigated through experiments, testing, sampling and research.

And the reason is to ensure my design is of

high quality and functions in a way that appropriately addresses

the need.

Techniques. Will my techniques have to change to adapt to

car needs and cause safety.

So tutorials and experiments will help with this.

And it's to make certain that in the environment I'm

working with my my design can have a long life

and be durable and strong.

Car. Safety is a big one.

What will, what will I create?

What will I create that will satisfy requirements in Australia?

And how will I ensure this?

This can be through desk research and observation, and it's

to guarantee the safety of consumers and the legitimacy of

my final design.

In order to evaluate the success, ergonomic factors is another

area of investigation.

The person must be seated comfortably in their seat belt.

This can be done through observations and measuring and it's

vital to ensure the consumer is safe and comfortable in

order to evaluate the success of my final product and

does design the functional aspects I must look at include

contract ability, the safety of use while it's while the

car is in motion, its durability and and how comfortable

the thing is.

This can be evaluated through tests and long car rides

and the standard to achieve a successful product is that

the table can contract in and out with ease and

that it doesn't collapse and can carry lots of weight.

Aesthetic features include having an overall minimalistic look and this

can be tested through observations.

The table must tuck away discreetly and in a neat

manner and went out.

The table must have a nice shape and be minimalistic.

The table also has to have a clean and minimalistic

look to it so that the color doesn't distract the

driver and it looks nice with the interior of the

car. The final, the final factors that I must look

at to evaluate success include ergonomics, which which which can

be evaluated through prototypes and evaluating how well the table

works in its environment, and the standard to achieve this

is the user is able to easily use the table

in the car and it's within easy reach.

Durability and strength can be tested using experimentation of different

materials and testing of the strength by putting things on

top and to achieve a durable and strength table.

The table must remain upright the entire time of the

car drive and is easy to hold weight and can

easily hold weight such as books and laptops.

Quality experimentation of different materials can look at the quality

of the table and to achieve a successful table, the

material should be strong and easy to clean.

It can't be flimsy and bend or break easily.

The table also must be user friendly.

This can be tested through prototyping to make sure that

the table can adjust and part of it together nicely.

Um To achieve this successfully, anyone who uses a table

should be able to safely adjust it to their desired

height and it should be easy to use and comfortable

for all consumers and, lastly auxiliary features or additional features.

Evaluating this can be done through appropriate measurements and tests

and to ensure its successful product.

All additional aspects of the final table should be attached

well and easy to use.

I look forward to working on this project towards maximizing

car ride productivity and needs strongly present in our busy

society.
