My clients problem

 My client has a problem with working in the dark because my client often has a lot of work to do on her desk leading
to messy work and things everywhere. Another problem that I’ve found out is that my client is finding it hard to
locate small object and record important information. I aim to solve this problem by creating a lamp that is bright
enough to lighten up the client desk. The lamp has to be small so that it doesn’t cover the whole desk. The lamp will
also have a small storage to store small things like keys, pencil and other important things. The lamp will have a
place where the notes can be stored in a place where it is clear.

In this slide, I have found out what


my clients problem is and the things
I need to include in the product I'm
making.
Design Brief

I will design and make a lamp for those, in Qatar, who have trouble working in the dark and needs a simple/small storage
system. The lamp I will make needs to look good, have an appropriate size and it needs to be affordable. To do this, I
need to :
 Find where the problem is?
 The function of the product
 Who is going to use the product.
 how often and when will the product be used
 What materials will be used
 Health and safety considerations.

In this slide, I have found out what


my client needs. I have found out
what my product should have in
order to be successful
Purple orange green In this slide, I have explored the
Ultraviolet light bright visible speed of light photon of light ideas of a lamp and I can use these
ideas to make a successful lamp.

Research(Safety hazards)

To make a successful lamp, i need to think about the


lamps safety. Common saftey hazards for a lamp are
how sharp the product is, is there any small pieces
the client must look out for, is it fragile and the heat
of the lamp. The lamp i am making must not have
any sharp edges. If there are any sharp edges then i
need to make it smooth or find a way to make sure
that my client won't have any contact with the sharp
edge. I need to also focus on what the lamp is made
of. I need to make sure that it is made out of a
durable material that is not fragile. I also need to
reduce the amount of small pieces used in
this product. If the product needs to use alot of
small pieces, i need to make sure to warn my client
about every small piece there is. The last thing i
need to look out is the heat of the bulb. I need to
make sure that my client cant touch the bulb so she
does not burn her hand. If i can, i need to put on a
warning sign to warn my client about the bulb.

In this slide, I have explored the


common safety hazards that are
needed for a lamp.

Researc h(LED Cir cuits )
R = resistor/ ballast resistor
V = Voltage

LED Circuits(light emitting diode) will likely be used


for the lamp. The simplest circuit that will power the
 LED is a voltage source with a resistor and a LED in
series. A resistor is often called a ballast resistor. A
ballast resistor is used to limit the current that flows
through the LED to prevent it from burning. If the
voltage source is equal to the voltage drop of the LED,
then no resistor will be required.

If the product is portable, a USB LED lamp circuit will


be used. The circuit will be like a simple led circuit,
but it will be powered through a power supply like a
computer or laptop.

Research(Lamp structure)

head

A basic lamp has 3 parts to it. The base, the neck,


and the head. The base of the lamp is designed to be
at least larger than the width of the rest of the
lamp. The base of the lamp has to also be heavy so
that it can balance the whole lamp so it won't fall
over. The neck of the lamp is simple. it depends on
how the lamp works. A typical lamp has a long neck
that can hold the head and be flexible. Some lamps
have a solid and non-bendable neck. The head is
where the bulb goes. The head is designed to be
able to spread the light. The head is also supposed
to protect the bulb if the lamp falls. neck

Product disassembly   
base is shaped like a circle and it is designed to be in a
specific size. The base is designed like this so that it
can be opened and closed easily to access the
concrete base. The concrete base has a heavy
concrete on it so that the center of gravity is shifted
towards the bottom, so the lamp won't fall. The
bendable neck is designed to have a gooseneck shape.
Gooseneck lamps are designed in a way that can be
bent in all directions. The cords that are connected to
the plug is designed to be long so that the lamp can be
placed far away from the socket. The plug is designed
in a specific way so that it can fit in the socket. In this
case, the plug has 2 pins on it. The switch is small and
accessible so that the client will be able to turn the
lamp off or on. The bulb is the main purpose of the
lamp. The bulb emits light. The lampshade is designed
like a bowl shape to protect the eye from the bulb’s
glare and to direct light from the bulb in the lamp into
a room. The screws are used to keep all the lamp
parts in place.

Client review of mood board

This lamp has a lot of parts to it and each part has its own function. My client likes both mood board. But she is
interested in the storage systems more than the lamp. She said that the lamp mood board has many crazy and interesting
designs. Each design has its own uniqueness. Some of the pictures have basic styles while others are more creative. She
said that the picture on the top left corner looks as if it's for parties and the one beside it looks like it's used-on wedding
occasions. Although the lamp design is very creative, she dislikes the designs. One reason is that none of them would fit
her bedroom's theme/style. The storage system mood board was unique. The one that caught her eye first is the one that
is designed like a grenade. This was because the shape was very clear, and it is one of the most creative designs out of
all. She said that she likes the design that is connected to the wall. This is because space is used very well. Another
design that she likes and very similar is the shoe storage connected to the wall. The design that she liked that she likes
the most was the one that uses circles and is connected to the wall. This is because the design was unique in its own way.
She thinks that it will fit in her room. It is simple yet creative. Using round shapes instead of flat shapes. It is also stacked
which doesn’t use up a lot of space.

my client like about the mood board

Questionnaire analysis

I first found out that a price range of 50QAR – 100QAR was mostly chosen. This will be difficult depending on the final
product. The minimum price for the final product may be about 50QAR – 100QAR. This will reduce the quality of the
product which will disappoint the client. I may need to raise the price to 100QAR – 175QAR. Since 1/3 chose a price range
of 100QAR – 200QAR, 100QAR – 175QAR won't be a big problem.

If found out that a modern style is mostly chosen. It won't be too difficult to create add a modern style to my product. I
think that I should add in different styles for my product. I should try and put different style together depending on what
us chosen the most. E.g. the product will mostly have a modern style, some classic and others.

I found out that a small/medium size range is chosen, between 50mm – 500mm. The size range may go over 500mm or
under 50mm depending on what it will look like and other things like the price, style etc.

I found out that a desk lamp is mostly chosen. This won't be a problem because I was aiming to make a desk lamp. 

I found out that plastic and wood material was mostly chosen. This may be hard because of the weight of plastic and
wood. This may change a few design ideas but overall it should work out fine.

I found out that the lamp will mostly be used in the bedroom and some in the living room. This shouldn’t be hard because
the lamp is supposed to light up a desk and possibly the whole room, so the lamp should be strong and emit a lot of light.
Research analysis
In this slide, I found out why my
Why will this be useful
research is useful for my product

Problem It is useful because I will be able to identify my client's


problem and find ways to solve the problem. I can also add
on my thoughts on how the problem is solved and improve
the products so it will have my client's expectations.

Mood board It is useful because it allows me to explore a range of ideas


from lamps to storage systems. It allows me to use the
ideas and apply it to my products. 

Task analysis It is useful because it allows me to look at a wide range of


ideas a find what my client likes. This will help me on
making my products by applying what my clients like.

Client profile It is useful because it will allow me to find out what my


clients like and dislike, and use it in my product, adding
extra things that my client likes

Product analysis This will be useful because it will give me knowledge on


what makes a product successful and what most people like
about the product. I can then apply this on my product to
make it successful.
Product disassembly This will give me some knowledge on how products are
structured and assembled. How parts are made to be
assembled in firmly.
Material research So that I can see the design and how strong the materials
are. so that I can find out if the material is suitable for the
environment it is used in.
Questionnaire  So that I can see what my client likes, and dislikes and I
can apply the clients expectation onto the product.

Material:
The first material that comes to

WALLNUT ways I can develop the
product while looking back
at the specification points. 
Final designs In this slide, I can see the
designs side by side and
compare them.
Design Analysis 1
This design started off as two similar products. I then decided that two similar products
will take up more space than one, so I came up with an idea that combines the designs
into one. There are still some similarities from this designs and the two designs. The only
difference is that it has two levels of storage space. I then produced a prototype of the
product which then gave me a much better understanding of what the products will look
like and how it will function. I realized that the dimensions weren’t appropriate so I will
have to make some adjustments. Overall, I think that the product fits its purposed and
the client also liked it and chose it as the final solution.
Storage system

There are two storage spaces. One at the bottom and one in the middle. There is a large "hole" in
the back of the design so that if anything inside can't be reached from the front, then it can be
taken out from the back. The bottom space is for storing large items like pencils, pens and
stationary items. The middle storage space is to store small items that is needed from time to time
like keys.

Material

I thought that ash wood would go best for this design. This is because this design has a
modern look to it. Ash would go best for this design because of the color and the durability.
Ash has a nice light color to it which will make the product more modern like. Ash is also
flexible, tough and durable which should make it easier to work with. Ash wood has great
gluing properties which will make the product tough. The platform for the middle storage
space will be made out of plastic. I was thinking of making it out of glass, but the strength of
the glass attached to the product won't be strong enough support the weight of many
objects stored on it.
Aesthetics

The product is based on a modern like object. The design of the product fits well with the
theme. The design has been slightly improved by combining two similar designs into one.
The platform in the middle of the product also makes it look more modernistic. There are
LED light attached to the edges which blends in with the product design. 
Design Analysis 2
The idea is based on a tentacle design. The Suction cups of the tentacle are lights. The
suckers will be made of a transparent, Robust material, preferably Polycarbonate plastics.
The plastic should allow maximum amount of light through such that the place where it is
used will be lit up if it is the only light source. The materials that is used for the
surroundings of the suckers should be able to emit some light but also differentiate the
tentacles and the surroundings. The line between the Suction Cups and the Storage
system is to separate them and provides an idea of where the light source will be placed.

   Storage System

    There are 3 Spaces to store small items like keys, keychains, jewelry etc. The Spaces
Ascend size from the top of the product to the bottom. The 3 different size and space
are to organize items. There is a small space between each storage so that it can be
labeled using a sticky note or carving letters.

Materials
I thought that mahogany would be best for this design. This is because the color
of Mahogany reflects the color of a cephalopod, specifically an octopus.
The beautiful red-brown color reflects the color of a common octopus. Mahogany
also has a generally straight grain which will make it perfect for the design.
Mahogany is also very durable and resists wood rot, which will make it a long-
lasting product.
Aesthetics
The aesthetics of the product has been slightly improved, but it shows a big
difference between the first and final design. First, the lighting (suckers) have
been moved to one place so that it is not to distracting. Then 3 storage space has
been added, opposite the light so that the light won't be causing any pain in the
eye when reaching for an item in the storage space. A line has
been added between the two to separate them.

Overall, I think that this is a great improvement of the product and the outcome
is very different from the first design even though minimal changes has been
added
Design Analysis 3 From slide 41-44, I can see
what I have done to the

to small drawers since the containers are big and the client won't need to store that many
items in the container. The drawers would be big enough store small items like rubbers,
keys, keyring, paper clips etc.

   Storage System

    There are 2 containers at the corners to store day-to-day items like pencils, pens,
rulers etc. On the opposite side, there are 4 small drawers to store the rest of the
item like rubbers, paper clips, keys, keyrings etc. The containers are on the opposite
side of the drawers since the pencils, pens and rulers are long and it is easy to access
them.
Materials
The material that would fit the design would be Mahogany. The color fits the
design, and it is tough. The empty space in the tall design will be filled with
epoxy resin mixed with epoxy hardener. It is transparent so I can add any designs
in it like floral design or colorful strips. 

Aesthetics
The aesthetics of the product has been slightly improved, but it does make a
difference from the original design. The only thing that is changed is the center
part of the product and 2 of the containers have been changed into drawers.
Overall, I think that the product fits a futuristic look while keeping that nature
atmosphere.
Final decision
In this slide, I can see the
final product with all its
improvements, making it a
Final improvements
suitable solution to the
clients problem.

I've made some small improvements to make sure that the product meets
all of the specification. The first improvement is the lights area. I made it so
that it is not split into sections so that it is more efficient. It also provides
room for decorations. I've also made it so that the center section can be
taken out to provide more room for storage. I made the 2 back containers
50mm lower since the container is taller than half the length of a typical
pencil, making it hard for any short pencils to be taken out or even seen..
Finally, I smoothen out any sharp edges and corners to make it safe.

Client's review:
The client is very pleased with the outcome. It meets all of the
specification points except 1 (cost). The cost is a bit more than the one in
the specification points but that doesn't bother the client too much.
Making the prototype/cardboard model
I drew the base of the product on a piece of cardboard
that is 7.5mm tall. I drew a 300mm x 300mm square
since that is the shape of the boarder. Then I measured
100mm from the sides and drew a line going through the
square, making 9 100mm x 100mm squares inside the
300mm x 300mm square. I then measure the center of
the middle squares and drew a line coming from the 2
outside corners of the middle square, making an
isosceles triangle. Then I marked out 25mm from the
middle square and drew a line parallel to the middle
square. Then I connected the center drawing creating a
square with chamfered corners. I then re-measure the
lines that I drew to make sure that they're all the exact
size.

I then used an exactor knife and a ruler to cut along the


lines. I made sure to make a mark before I cut so that I
don't make any mistakes when cutting the cardboard.
I shaded the areas I need to cut out so that I don't get
confused with which lines I should cut along
I cut out the middle section so that I can use it as a guideline to measure the
walls of the product since the measurement of the middle section is irrational.
I then marked 150mm from the mark made by the middle section and
completed the rectangle. I re-measured all measurements to make sure they
are correct and slowly cut them using an exactor knife and a ruler. I made 2
rectangles, one thin and one thick, so that I can use them as a template to
make sure that the rest of the walls are accurate. I then started assembling
them using tape. I started off by adding tape to the bottom of the thick
rectangle and taped it to the base of the product. I repeated the process with
the thin rectangle. I then taped the thick and thin rectangles together to make
sure they are tight and they're perpendicular to the base of the product.
I repeated this process until all the rectangles that I
Cut has been used.
