Work for when we come back in September.

By the time you come back in September, you will have:

Research for flat-pack desk-top items.

Four Preliminary Designs for the flat-pack clock.
Don't forget about what I said regarding drawing the line for your designs; think about the line first anf then put it down with great confidence! The actual line may be done quickly, but you will place it better.
If you find the line is not what you want, don't worry, just put another down in the place where you want it.... and so on.
I am including a specimen page I have done to give an idea of this:



For some reason, when you click on this for the larger image you may find it gets stuck there... apologies... I'm not clever enough to sort that one out!

You will also have a page of research on how to connect the components and sides without the use of glue. The whole asembly will either fold out from flat or use tabs and slots to fix the parts.
You will have two working card examples of fixings which actually slot together.
You will have developments of one of your preliminary ideas where you explore how the design will fit onto it.
You will also have a good, finished, coloured example of your final design.

for Monday 21st july

This is a revised version of the homework page.

Four examples of flat-pack desk-top items, please. On A3.
These may take the form of pen pots, folding calendars, stationery holders, etc.
Annotate your examples with:

Whether you think it is able to be posted easily.
Whether you think it is able to be assembled easily.
Whether tape, glue or some other fixing device is needed... and if it is, do you think/ know that it is included?
What its function is. Is it sent to the client out of the company's act of kindness because they feel the sales executive needs yet another calendar, or is it sent, for example, to keep the sender's company name and logo at the front of the client's mind every time (s)he checks the date??
Whether it works regarding its intended purpose.
What its 'feel' is... is it quirky, funny, there to impress... or what?

Thank you,
Mr Bower
