Assignment 02
"Toy Design : Play And The Act Of Play"
Progress
The first week on the assignment was spent on conversing with children I could get in touch with and doing research on toys, play, children with toys and head movements.I also made a list of materials available at home which I could possibly use.
The second week was spent to summarize the data obtained in Empathy and forming a problem statement, finding the properties for the list of materials stated and forming design considerations for initial idea development.
The third week had me brainstorming for ideas which originated from different sources of inspiration. I also came up with a method to make sure that the final toy will fulfill all the criteria I have set from the information obtained in empathy and define.
The forth week was when I started to build my toy. I made a rough model at first to test my toy concept (unfortunately no video recorded). After that, I proceeded to make a proper version, while carrying out more tests for an optimal outcome.
In the fifth week, I made final adjustments on my toy and filmed myself demonstrating one method to play with it (since it can be used in different ways). I also took photos of different parts of the toy to be used in my poster.
