Introduction: I will complete this page to see what my client wants from my products. It’ll help me to receive fully detailed answers from my client according to my questions .
Date Discussion
20/03/18
I planned a meeting with my client at her house and asked
her about the product she is using recently. I asked her to
show me the jewelry organizer so I could examine it and
ask about her queries on it.
14/04/18
I showed her numerous designs for a jewelry organizer.
She skimmed through them and pointed out some
problems and best features in every design and selected
couple of designs that satisfied her for a suitable unit.
10/05/18
I decided to discuss some more details on the type of
jewelry organizer’s she’ll like to have. We discussed
about the cost and material of the unit.
8/06/18
We discussed about the materials I had selected for my
product such as pine, MDF, plywood, hardwood and
mahogany. She studied every type of material property
from my file and discussed their pros and cons.
Additionally, I asked her about the product’s
measurements she wants to have in her room.
11/07/18
We discussed about any extra features my client would
like to add to their product. Also, I asked her if she wants
to change anything about the previous discussions we’ve
had.
23/08/18
Today, we discussed about her product in further details.
This included joints, hinges and some other explicit
details.
Summary: By completing this I was able to talk to my client freely about some specific details for my product. I was able to keep ideas updated whenever my client wanted to
add or remove any feature. According to her requirements, she wanted a large organizer that was capable of holding a large number of accessories keeping in mind to keep the
cost from 13-14000 PKR max.
Client discussion
Result
I was able to see what had my client been using for her
jewelry and what problems did she face with her storage
device. Also, she pointed out some weak aesthetic features
about the unit she uses recently such as, it had a large metal
net on its surrounding as its wall due to which small
accessories such as rings or earrings would usually fall.
Moreover, her recent jewelry organizer was not able to hold
large amount of jewelry.
From around an hour discussion, I have reached to the
conclusions for the aesthetics of my product. It gave me
more specific ideas I need to work on, such as the product’s
appearance, size of every compartment dealing each
accessory type separately and the overall size of the
product.
Client was able to decide that she wanted a jewelry organizer
that had properly organized compartments that could carry
large number of accessories. She was ok with the product
being around PKR 13-14000. Furthermore, she wants her
product to be made out of wood only.
She was finally able to decide one specific wood that was
chipboard because it’s generally cheaper, has a smooth
surface and is light weight. Also, we were able to decide
couple of measurements for the product.
My client explained me that she wants a specific area for her
earrings where she can keep the stopper and earrings, both
together, so she does not lose them. Moreover, she said she
wants nothing else to be changed previously.
She explained that she wants her organizer to have large and
small compartments both. She wants her product to be proper
finishing that may give it a little glossy and more attractive
look. Additionally, she’ll be ok with any type of hinges being
used in her product.
Decision
After the discussion session, I was able to understood basic
flaws in the unit she had that should not be seen in my
product. I understood that my product must be made in such
a way that it holds small accessories in a properly closed
compartment. Moreover, my product must be large
enough to hold large number of accessories.
I now have clearly expressed details on my product’s
appearances. I will make my researches more specific
towards the appearance and overall size of my product
to make it more appealing for my client. Moreover, I’ll
have to search for the best type of different accessory
holders, so I can include them in my product.
I will now be able search and recommend her some light
weighted wood such as chipboard, plywood, pine etc. that
would be suitable for my unit.
Now I’ll be able to look for the material in market according
to the dimensions we discussed.
According to my client, she wants nothing to be changed,
which means I can carry on with the work I had started.
Moreover, the additional features my client wants to add to
the product will be considered while its construction.
I decided to make my product the way I had started making
it because all the needs stated by my client had already been
considered before I could talk to her. But still, I’ll have to
keep other detailed information in my mind to keep my
product as much suitable as possible.

Site survey Introduction: In this survey I’ll be having a clearer look at the area where my client will be putting her product.
The area shown is a little congested, so I’ll try my best to make my product according to this area’s dimensions.

5ft 22 inches
39 inches

Area marked with a yellow rectangle can be the area where I can place
my product if it’s an over door organizer. Choosing this position can be
more beneficial as the organizer can be hung on any other and can be
shifted from place to place easily. Moreover, this location is also

the dressing table and even falls on the floor at times. Area marked with blue circle can be an
area where I can place my product that has many features to store different accessories but in a
small organizer. Area marked by the black rectangle, can also be an area where I can place
my product if it’s wall mounted, being right next to the mirror can be its suitable position.

Page 9 of 49
 This picture represents the measurements of the side area and the dressing table. My
product must be smaller than 27 inches if I need to fix it on the wall or else should be
small enough to cover up little area on the 43” table with width of 15”. The
maximum measurements are should be up is 15” length with 7” width, so that other
things can also be placed on the dressing table besides the jewelry organizer.

Summary: After observing her room’s environment, I’ve reached my conclusions about where possibly can I place my end
product. I’ll have to make my end product up to the room’s measurements I’ve taken. Completing this page gave a very
strong impact on me as a designer for the product and gave me more ideas to design my product according to the limitations
of the space and the specified possibilities.

Product analysis Introduction: Product analysis is analyzing existing products in the market by how well do they perform their functions. By completing
this I will be able to understand the types of existing products available in the market. I may get across some ideas that’ll influence my
end product. I’ll get to know about the products that are more appealing to the people and are liked by them the most. I’ll be choosing
such products that matches all the specifications shown in my client profile, design brief and client discussion. Also, by completing this
page, I’ll be more focused towards how my product can be different from the existing ones.

 (Primary research)
This is a bamboo wooden jewelry box that was
found in G-9 Markaz Islamabad while my market
research. This box costs up to PKR 2000. Insides
this box, there are three further sections that can be
used to store different sorts of accessories such as
necklaces, rings and earrings. It is a small ordinary
box that can be kept in out our bags while travelling.

I used my aunt’s jewelry box to do my market

research. According to my aunt, this product
was found by her in ILLUSIONS in F-10
Markaz Islamabad and costs up to PKR 3000.
It is made out of metal with metal carving that
makes this box aesthetically beautiful.
However, this box has no further compartments
inside and is covered with a velvet cloth from
inside.

Summary: By completing this I have found out that some existing products in the market do fulfil my client needs but
are too expensive. I’ve understood that I need to make a project according to my client’s needs. Additionally, idea number 2
has inspired me more with its idea of storing earrings. Moreover, the idea of hanging them on the door is a little more
impressive than others. Also. I have seen that most of the products have been made by MDF that is a manmade wood easily
available in markets.

Research analysis Introduction: On this page I’ll be analyzing my findings from each page and what impacts will they bring to my product.

Source: Information gathered: How it will impact my design:

Research plan: By making a research plan, I was able to see the strengths and
weaknesses of every research I have done. After completing the plan,
I knew that the questionnaire, client discussion and profile, and mood
board were the most important researches of all.
This plan will allow me to save time so that I don’t waste time on
researching sources that have no advantages. It will allow me to
ensure that I do not make mistakes with each type and keep my
research fair and advantageous.

Client profile: From completing this profile, I was able to know my client’s likes
and dislikes. I got to know that my client is quite fashionable and
likes to wear matching jewelry more often. According to this profile,
she prefers her unit to be elegant and well-designed.
I’ll be able to combine these elements and be able to reflect my client’s
likes and dislikes in my design. I’ll be able to make my product
suitable by completing her requirements and by giving it a decent
look.

Mood board: My mood board consists of some possible designs that somehow
fulfil my client’s requirement, but only at some places. I used
These images in my mood board will act as the inspirational images
that may influence my design ideas more. It will allow me to take
internet to look up for these images and while doing this I went some designs and make my product much better than the existing

collect large amount of ideas and was able to present them in front of
my client.

Client discussion: My client discussion helped me to talk to my client in different

sessions. It allowed me to gather specified information for my
product that she’ll like to have. With every session after a month, she
would ask me make any further changes she’d like to see in her
product.
I’ll keep these discussions as my first priority to go through while
designing and constructing my product. These discussions will give me
more ideas on adding or subtracting any extra feature in my
product.

Product analysis: In my product analysis, I decided to look at 6 differently designed

jewelry organizers that existed in the market. I looked after their
prices and the material they were made up of. Moreover, while
looking for their important feature, I went through their reviews to
know how much was it liked by people.
This research as allowed me to go through the existing products in the
market. Also, I was able to understand that how my product must be
made suitable for my target audience. The reviews I’ve read for
every product will prevent any drawback in my product.

Specific research- Searching for a designer was done according to the needs of majority
from my target audience that solved the questionnaire. After the
From this research I was able to find myself a specific designer that
designs organizers. This gave me information about how to decorate

the interior and exterior of the organizer and make it look
aesthetically attractive.
Moreover, her designs and their specifications were fulfilling my
client’s need.

Questionnaire: I created this questionnaire to know what my target audience

basically wants, by asking them different sort of questions. I selected
questions that I thought would bring more inspiration for my
product.
My questionnaire gave me more ideas about how my product should
look visually appealing to others. My audience clearly wants
something that is less expensive and still well-designed.

Summary: This page helped me summarize and revise all the information I’ve gathered about each research source.
Page 16 of 49
 Specifications Introduction: By completing this page, I’ll be able to have a better understanding of exactly what I need
to include in my product and exactly at what point in my research it will be researched. This specification
will set out rules for designing and making my product to ensure it is suitable for my client.

Timeline: According to my Gantt chart,
my project will end at the end of
February. Yet, I’ve decided to
complete my task before the final date so
I can make further changes if needed.
Functions: My product will store the most common types
of accessories people own. For example; earrings, necklaces,
and rings etc. Moreover, the product will have beautifully
organized compartments for every accessory. Also, it will
protect my client’s jewelry from getting damaged or
tangled. Moreover, it’ll have a safe lock system.
Material: According to my client discussion, my client
wants the material to be a little lightweight and so
she prefers to use veneered MDF, that is also easy to
work with. Additionally, the existing products, most of
the products were made out of MDF.

Target audience: My client profile,

this product is for a 17 years old girl
however, my target audience is
basically up to young adults from age
18-35.
Size: According to my site survey, my
unit will be suitable enough to be
placed anywhere in the room. It’ll be
almost 24"(length) and 20"(height)
which is big enough to hold my client’s
desired products.
Green issues: I will have to ensure that
the wood I use comes from a sustainable
source to make sure I do not waste any
natural resources.
Weight: I’ll be making my product as light as possible so it is
easy for the user to lift it and place it anywhere. It will be
almost 8-10 kgs, that can be lifted and hung easily. However,
according to my product analysis, most of the existing products
weigh more than 6 kgs only.
Durability: I am going to make my product in a way that it
does not break easily. It’ll be varnished or waxed in order to
prevent it from being damaged by the water, as my client
also wants it to be water resistant. It must be made in a way that
it’s user-friendly.
Cost: The cost of my product will almost be near PKR 4 to
5,000. According to my research on existing products, most of
the products are below 13,000 with remarkable features.
Safety: Every metallic part must be joined or
adjusted properly so under any condition, the user
does not get hurt. The edges must not be that tapered
and nails must be hammered properly without any
protruding side getting out.
Aesthetics: I need my product to look more elegant
and well-designed under my client’s likes and
dislikes. The product needs to look more attractive.
Different designs can be added to this wood work by
either carving different designs or using acrylic paint
(wonderfully versatile and will stick to almost anything)
to design different things on to the wood. Dark colored
theme would be kept all over the product so that it
goes well with its surroundings.

Ergonomics: Joints should be well

built and strong. Nails/screws have to
be secured properly, to prevent
injuries. It has to be ensured that the Summary: Specifications on this page shows the features my product must contain to meet my design brief and client’s
edges are filed to remove sharpness. requirements. Most importantly, the key things to influence my product on this page are size, aesthetic, safety and material.

 Anthropometric measurements for the final design
Introduction: I intend to carry out measurements in order to ensure that the size of the unit is made according to my target audience. I will look at the average anthropometric
measurement, compare them with my client and then finalize the size of my unit.

After choosing design number 3 (from initial ideas), I intend to carry out these measurements in order to ensure that my product meets my
client’s and the target audience’s requirements. I have taken measurements for the height in order to see at what point is it supposed to be
hung or placed.

bangle holder. However, I opted for the first one as
it was easier to make and seemed appropriate to put
bangles on a smooth surface.

This development was used in order to

place the bangle holder in place. It is made
up of 2 thin wooden pieces joined together
at a specific angle that will help the holder
to stay in place and not roll forward.

Material research Introduction: by completing this page I will be able to have a clear view of all the materials that I need to use.

This comes in a range of stylish decorative designs in plain solid colors, wood grains
and textured finishes and are lamination. This imparts great looking finishes and
heighten the aesthetic value of the item. Laminated chipboard offers maximum
convenience and time saving as it is ready to install while being easy to maintain, and is
resistant to stains and scratches.

 Velvet is a rich fabric that comes in range of colors, with different textures and is used for clothing,
upholstery and interior design applications. Velvet fabric will be used in my unit for lining purposes,
which features a plush nap, has a soft and smooth surface that will protect the jewelry items from the
rough wood. A velvet liner will also give the storage space an elegant look. If the velvet liner gets
dusty or dirty, you can clean it with a few simple techniques, such as the fabric has a pile, or raised
surface, so velvet should be cleaned by hand.
It costs up to PKR 300-400 per meter.

Stainless steel hinges are available with a huge variety of surface finishes. They offer an
aesthetically pleasing appearance of high quality and it is easy to maintain the high level of shine.
In addition, stainless steel is easy to clean. Its durability and low maintenance make stainless steel
an affordable choice. Moreover, stainless steel hinges have a significantly higher resistance to rust
and corrosion against many man-made and natural environments.
A stainless-steel narrow hinge costs up to PKR 15 or 18.

Tools research storage unit. I will discuss all the tools required and their specific use

Marking tools:

Woodworkers Try Square: The tool is used to
draw lines by pushing it against the
surface of the wood. Typically used with a
marking knife or a pencil the try square can
easily mark lines. It is also used check if a
wood piece has a 90-degree angle along the

 Introduction: This page will show all the steps carried out while the construction of the unit.
Making diary

Firstly, I made a
prototype of my unit,
using cardboard,
coping saw, duct tape
and glue.
I measured and checked the
whole material that has to be used
for the unit to ensure that I have
enough material to work with.
Using a t-scale and a marker, that’s
visible on the surface, I marked all
the required measurements.
Using a circular saw, I cut all the pieces
accordingly and made sure to clamp the
wooden piece with a G clamp to ensure full
safety, while also observing other safety
factors. Other smaller pieces were cut by a
power tool miter saw.

After smoothening the edges using
a sand machine, later I joined some
of the main pieces first using a
limited amount of glue, including
large the compartments and the
necklace holder and let it dry
completely. However, the main
body was joined by nails before
gluing all other pieces.

while usage.
Page 40 of 49

After cutting the straight line for the recess, I
created holes by using a thick drill bit in
order to make it easier for me to cut the
slanted part of the recess. After this, I carried
out the same processes and cut down the
slanted part using a coping saw.
Next, I cut a smaller door piece for the locking
compartment and drilled in a hole using a drill
machine. After drilling the whole I attached in the
lock, by pressing the mouth of the lock using a
hammer. Later the door was attached to the
compartment using the same way the door of the
main body was attached. Moreover, a groove was
also made in the wooden piece in order to make
the lock work properly.
I later smoothened the insides of the recess using a
rectangular hand filer.
Next, I attached the mirror to the door of the main
body using a strong glue (i.e. cementex)
Next, I attached the door to the main body using a portable
reverse screw machine. For this, I first marked all the areas
on both sides (door and the main body) where the holes
were to be drilled, later I took a piano hinge according to
the full length of the organizer and attach to both sides by
drilling in screws (before putting screws, I preferred gluing
the hinge to the main body to make it stronger on hold with
the door attached. Also, by taking safety measure under
consideration.
Next, I covered the mirror back using a velvet
cloth, but before, I gave in a cotton filling to
secure the mirror more. I attached the cloth to the
mirror by placing nails on the corners (away from
the mirror corners to avoid any breakage) and hot
glue throughout the edges to keep it in place.

After pasting the tape, I decorated the mirror. I
first drew the selected design using a board marker
(because it is easily erasable from the mirror).
Later, after the design was made, I traced it again
using a black glass paint.
After tracing the whole design with the black
glass paint, I used crystal glass paints to fill in
different colors. I used light brown and golden

This was the final product after all the

Making diary(summary)
Safety:
Safety was one of the main factors to take under consideration while
working on this unit. I had to ensure that I was following all the
important safety rules while working with different types of tools or
power tools. For example, while working with the circular saw, I had
to make sure I was wearing an apron, safety gloves, goggles and a
mask to avoid any dust. Just like that I had to make sure I was
wearing safety gloves every time I used any power tool and gave my
full attention while working with it.
Problems faced while constructing the unit:
While making my unit, I did face some problems though everything
was already planned. The first problem I faced was attaching the
cloth to the mirror side with nails. It was actually quite challenging as
I was afraid of getting the nail bent while hammering and breaking
the mirror. Also, I was afraid that the hammer or the nail might slip
and hit the mirror, as the mirror used here was very slim and
delicate. The second problem I faced was with the PVC taping. At
many places it would not stick properly due to which I had to follow
each step multiple times. Also, many places like the recess part made
it quite difficult for me to attach the PVC taping on the pointed
edges, as it always appeared to look rough.
Quality control:
For giving my unit a more refined look, I had to be very precise while
cutting the chipboard. The chipboard gets ripped easily if any harsh
process has been carried out. Whenever a filer with large cuts was
used to file, the edges would give a very rough look with half of the
chip torn off. Also, I had to keep in mind the amount of filing I had to
do, or else the pieces would have not stayed the same length.
Moreover, I had to be very precise and gentle while working along
the mirror as they can break easily with one hard touch.
Changes to design:
My unit is similar to the idea I later developed. However, some
changes were made as I decided to make a wooden knob myself for
the lock compartment, as the other knobs where creating
disturbance while closing the door. Moreover, I decided to add
cotton padding underneath the velvet to keep the mirror more
secure. Also, I decided to use a piano hinge instead of butt hinge as it
seemed more appropriate for such unit. Moreover I excluded the
ring holder compartment and instead added a small compartment
with a lock to the top left. However, for the rings I decided to make
small cylindrical shaped holders placed perpendicular to the surface
under the bangle holder, and this can hold up to 3 or 4 rings in each.

 Final testing and client feedback

This picture shows where my product was

placed in my client’s room. We decided to
place the product on wall right above the
dressing table. This way she thought she
can use the mirror for getting ready as well
without moving places to get her things
form the dressing drawer.

Me and my client met and I helped her place her unit on the wall by the help of the hooks attached to the backside of the organizer, that were later fixed in to
a holder attached on the wall. Next up, we placed her accessories in the desired places. My client was very happy with the outcome as now she had a unit that
completely fulfilled her need. We both had selected a very suitable place for the unit which gave it more of a nicer look according to its surrounding as well
which was a plus point. Moreover, it looked amazing with the color of table that is placed underneath it. My client and I also had a small discussion in which
said that this unit completely covered up the space required for all the accessories. My client said that the unit holds all the accessories in place properly. He
also stated that the material was quite durable yet good looking. He said that “I can easily access all the accessories and all my storage problems are solved
and also I can keep my expensive jewelry safe and I am really content about that.”. In a nutshell, the unit I made completely fulfilled the purpose and most
importantly my client was satisfied.

Evaluation of the design
I decided to opt for making a jewelry organizer for my friend, whom I have taken as my client. She has always been complaining about how hard it
is for her to gather her accessories in multiple boxes of different sizes and shapes. She mostly loses the small boxes or the accessories inside these
boxes would get tangled. To help her with her problems, I wanted to make something innovative and fit to purpose so I decided to create this
organizer that will hold large number of accessories in one place, without anything getting tangled.
Firstly, I began by creating a task analysis along with a research plan to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each step. This allowed me
to work resourcefully and save my time as well. Next, I did a client profile which was a key step in my project as I got to know each requirement
my client needs for her unit.
The mood board along with the designer research and the questionnaire also allowed me to get more information to make my unit as suitable as
possible for my client. For my product research, which was the primary and secondary research, I studied 8 different existing products. By looking
at these products, I reached a conclusion about the maximum costs of such products. This research also helped to come up with more innovative
ideas regarding the unit. Also, this helped me to gain knowledge about which type of products are best sold for their specific features. Next, the
designer research helped me to visit a profile where a lady already makes different types of organizers for day to day problems. While going
through her profile, I came across an amazing jewelry organizer. I used couple of ideas from her website to make my unit more suitable for my
client. Moreover, she had given the whole description for how to use the material as less as possible and still create an amazing organizer in less
time.
Next up, I drew the ideas by hand and added annotations for the reader to deeply understand what ideas I am trying to convey. Every idea was
unique, and fit to purpose. Next, I decided to develop each of the ideas further. In the developments I stated how each of the unit was to be
assembled. I discussed all the ideas with my client and gave her the liberty to tell me which one was the most suitable. The design we selected
was exactly according to the client’s need.
In order to start my work, I first visited the market for a small research on different types of materials. I visited different shops where different
types of laminated chipboards were available. I asked for their prices and kept visiting different sites for other things. After our market research, I
created a cutting list that included the total amount of all the materials I needed with their prices calculated accordingly. After the cutting list was
made, I made a small flowchart of all the steps to be carried out.
Next up was the production plan which stated some of the main processes and the way of quality control during each process. The next step was
the construction of the unit, which was quite challenging. I faced minor problems like pasting the PVC tape and precise cutting of pieces
laminated chip board.

Overall, I believe that my project reflects all the specifications mentioned earlier. I am satisfied with the end product I have created as it fits the
purpose. However, cutting sanding and finishing was not as per my satisfaction because the edges and corners appeared to be rough.
Also, by adding the Gantt chart, it allowed me to meet the specific deadlines and was helpful in organizing my work. I did not come across many
problems and met almost each and every deadline on time.
I would like to highlight the key strengths and weaknesses of my product:
Strengths:
 Fit for purpose.
 Provides separate compartments for individual jewelry items and other accessories.
 User friendly and easy to store and retrieve jewelry of interest.
 Compact and sturdy.
 Aesthetically appealing as I have added a mirror and abstract design has painted on the side of the mirror.
Weaknesses:
 Exceeding weight limit slightly which could have been avoided by using even better design tactics.
 Wall brackets diminish the overall look of the product in its environment which could be avoided using concealed brackets.
 Needs more capacity for ring holders and necklaces.
 Although metal mesh to hang earrings is used. However, with passage of time it may not be safer due to wear and tear.
 Corners and edges seem rough hence giving an untidy look.
Future Recommendations:
If I make this product again or go for mass production I will make the following changes in my product:
 I can use some other light weight material for the inner compartments; such as acrylic or some other engineered wood of reduced thickness
 The wall brackets could either be placed on the back side or a railing be used to hang which can be easily detached.
 Unnecessary compartments need to be modified to have more space for rings and necklaces.
 Aesthetics can be improved using carved wooden beading instead of PVC tape.
 Plastic/nylon mesh (that can hold the weight of the jewelry) can be used. This will avoid injuries if jewelry is taken off form the mesh portion
in haste.
