PROGRESS CHART

PRODUCTION LOGBOOK: JOURNAL ENTRIES

Date: October 1, 2014

     Procedure: Cutting of wood beams, and hanging objects.

     Cogitation: The wood beams will serve as the handlers of the hanging objects                                   in the artefact.

Date:  November 12, 2014

     Procedure: Polishing all of the wood beams.

     Cogitation: The wood beams’ design will make the decoration neater.

Date:  November 14, 2014

     Procedure: Putting hooks to wood beams

    Cogitation: The hooks will allow the wood platform to connect with the            wood             beams.

Date:  November 19, 2014

     Procedure: Completing the blog.

     Cogitation: The blog will serve as the documentation of our work.

BRAIN STORMING DESIGN IDEAS

BRAIN STORMING DESIGN IDEAS:

Not drawn to scale

I. INVESTIGATION

RESEARCH:

     The things we liked about this design is that it is easy, creative and colorful. This is a good design but we need 5 or more hanging objects and not 4.  The size of the wood beam is also limited, the size of the wood will not fit to the design.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

1.   Does it meet the requirements of the Design Brief?

2.   Is the artefact well-balanced?

3.   Is the artefact strong enough to withstand natural forces?

4.   Can the artefact spin without any collision?

5.   Does the artefact pose no harm to the health and safety    of people?

TOP FIVE PRIORITIES

TOP FIVE PRIORITIES:
