store my personal stuff like wrist-watch, Wallet, Rings, Car keys, Office Diary/Papers,
Pen, latter etc.
2- Primary user needs:
A Flexible, Stable and Clean design.
The Drawer/Cupboard stores stuff of different sizes and shapes e.g my wallet, car keys , rings

4.1 CONCEPT SELECTION - 3 CONCEPTS

Instructions:

Create a concept selection matrix and evaluate your 10 concepts. Your

goal is to identify the few concepts (2-4) you will explore using prototypes.
Remember that the rows of the matrix are your selection criteria. These
should definitely include your key user needs. Most of you will want to
include some notion of cost, wow, and elegance/beauty.
Task:
Post your selection matrix on a post titled Question 4.1 on the Week #4
tab. This can be done as a spreadsheet, a table or a hand-written
document. Just make sure it is clearly readable on the screen so that your
peers can easily provide you with feedback.
Indicate on your matrix the concepts you will be exploring with
prototypes.

4.2 PROTOTYPING (X)

Instructions:
Build some prototypes. Obviously, the nature of your prototypes will be very different
depending on the design domain you are working in. If you are designing a building, you
probably wont build a comprehensive prototype; rather youll probably build something
using a digital tool or make a model from cardboard. If you are designing a website, youll
probably create a prototype using a graphics program like PowerPoint, or possibly using a
web-based design tool. Your prototypes may be focused or comprehensive, analytical or
physical. At this point in the design process you are probably most concerned with answering
the question Will it work? If you do not have a lot of experience making things, do not
panic. Do your best using whatever materials and tools you have at your disposal. Even a
simple prototype will usually be highly informative.

Task:
Ensure your one-sentence problem statement is posted on your My Gap page and that the
concept sketches are available from last week and create a blog post titled Question 4.2 on
your Week #4 tab:
Photographs (or other images) of the prototypes you created, adhering to the guidelines for
student photography.

To make a different sections I used some blocks from a Building Block game
Of my kid.
