edited assignment 2!

User: 80+ year old who stays in a kampong house.
Environment: Kitchen. a simple one.(kampung house)
Photo Analysis:
-The utensils are kept tidy
-But it’s too congested together. It will be quite difficult to find what she wants.
-The higher rack is a bit too high for an old lady to get.

Needs:

-Something which is easy-to-use for aged people.
-A rack or shelf that able to hold the utensils and tupperwares.
- Something which is simple to suit the kampung kitchen as it is not a normal kitchen like we have in Singapore.

i think thats all i can think for now!

Assignment 1~ Done!

Alright. Let’s get started cos I guess I’m lacking behind. Hee... Ok here we go!

Assignment 1~

week one!
Research on theme first! Find out what is about and find the problems that are REALISTIC! If there’s any itchy ideas in mind should just draw it out!

Week two!
Research more on the problems. Lay out the problems. Then, try giving a rough idea of each problems. Maybe I can compare which problems are realistic to be solved! This will help me to decide which problem I want to do on. More research will be done if needed. Week three-four!
Here I will decide which problem I should be doing on. Then I will research more on the problem such as the need, the user and the environment. Like with the help of PIES~ physical, individual, environment and social need! We can have picture analysis of the problem.

Week five!
Will do a pesona profile of the user. This will help on trying to find more of the needs.

Week six-seven make sure on the track and not off the right track. This week will decide the design brief and specifications.!
