Assignment 03
"Toy Design : Play And The Act Of Play"
Task
individual
In this assignment, I was required to design and materialize a toy or object of play from recycled materials, found objects or daily objects which has to be able to interact and respond to the movements of the head. I am to assume my role as a designer working with a non-governmental organisation and change my mindset to that of a child in order to create a toy with the value of "play" within it, allowing it to be enjoyed by children/youths from a rural community.
Most importantly, the 5 stages of design thinking should also be implemented and clearly evident.

Final Outcome
Reflection
1. Lifelong Learning
As an individual assignment, I had to locate, extract, synthesize and utilize information obtained from both online and through physical interaction. This includes engaging in conversatio with others and seperating important information from those which are of less use.
2. Citizenship and Global Perspectives
During the Empathy and Define stages, I had to be aware and consider the opinions from diverse perspectives in order to reach a reasonable and rational outcome in terms of the clarity and reliability of information obtained.
3. Digital Literacy
Besides finding information about studies related to toys and the act of play online, it was during this assignment that I was able to learn to utilise Google Slides effectively in order obtain an optimal outcome in terms of graphic communication and its clarity for the final submission.
