In this unit of product design, I designed my own bluetooth speaker after learning about many aesthetics. The aesthetics I chose is the mid-century modern.

What did you struggle most during this project?
The hinge was the biggest problem that I was struggling. The screws were way too long, and I couldn’t even close the speaker’s top properly. However, after using the glue to glue the hinge on to my speaker, the problem was solved.

What aspect of this project are you most proud of?
I am proud of the aesthetics that I chose from the beginning, which was the mid-century modern aesthetics. After the progress, the final speaker looks really cool with some basic elements from mid-century modern.

What’s a skill you learned or improved on over the course of this project?
A skill that I learned is that how to adjust to changing circumstances. One of the class, I was struggling with the hinge problem, for the entire class I was trying to fix it, but it doesn’t work well. I basically wasted almost one class and did not do anything, then I thought about changing it to a simple way which was using glue, and it finally worked. If I didn’t adjust my way to the hinge, maybe I will waste more time.
