Project 2: Postal Present


MODERN VICTORIAN
JEWELLERY HANGER



JEWELLERY HANGER

For this second project, i decided to make jewelery hanger which will i give to my bestfriend. That flowing and elegant form was inspired by victorian decorative and i made it in a modern way. So it can be called modern victorian jewelery hanger. I chose red as colour because red represent brave and strengh but on the other side it can be feminine and soft.
The material i used is acrylic because it stiff and strong and have a smooth surface. And for the cutting, I used laser cut because it's accurate and clean finish.

Task 6: Bad Design


I chose this tap for my bad design assignment because it caused a lot of problems. First, the length of the tap is short compare to its sink, so when the water runs out, it touches the edge of the sink and the water spill everywhere. It may cause our clothes and the floor wet. Second, the tap switch only on for more less 8 seconds thus we have to press it all over again while we wash our hand and it is an hygienic issue.
I think the best solution is just simply change the design of the tap into the longer one or change the overall design. And maybe change the switch using the sensor so we don't have to touch the tap while washing the hand.

PROJECT 1: EXPERIENCE ENRICHMENT





"PIPO" SNACK CRUSHER









This snack crusher is targeted for toothless elderly people and it is basically mortar and pestle. This tool might help elder people to enjoy the snacks they might missed tasting it. In making this snack crusher, so many things has influenced me. I was inspired by Javanese culture where elder people have to crush their food before eat. The types of food that can be crushed by this tool are peanuts, biscuits, and any other snacks.

"Pipo" snack crusher allows elder people to eat snacks by crushing it with the mortar. The plastic and rubber material produced a lightweight yet strong tool which make it portable. This tool also has a lid that prevent the snacks to fly everywhere while crushing it. I've chosen bright colour to boosten up appetite and this tool has been design in hand-held size. Another feature is the inner part of the pestle has rounded edge thus the mortar can reach every edge of the pestle and it also easy to wash.
