Category: Design challenge

In Design, we were challenged to make a product out of a A4-sized leather and use it to solve our real life problem. A thing that concerned me for a long time is my backpack which lacks decoration. In response to the problem, I decided to make a mini backpack. This project includes large amount of sowing, and, since of limited amount of leather, I could not re-cut pieces. My biggest struggle is making the size of each piece precise and sow the pieces together correctly. As I have not done much sowing before, one of my take aways is learning how to sow. My skill had improved over the corse of making, yet there are still many changes I wish to have make in the beginning. first, I would have made the strips on the back of the backpack differently. second, I would attach the back piece to the zipper differently (like what I did for the front piece).

This prototype is a design project I made, and it is meant to detect smell. The second picture shows the front of the prototype and as you could see, I made it into the shape of a spiral shell. On the back of the prototype, as the third picture shows, includes element of a smell detector, such as a screen, buttons, and a place where the batteries goes. so, when you press the detect button, the smell will go through the tip of the shell and the result will appear on the screen.

 

This is a design we made in science class, this design helps to clean water that is dirty. The water turn clean when we pour the water inside.
