Form  SemanBcs  •  The  forms,  shapes,  and  contours  of  a  product  are  uBlized  to  communicate  a  parBcular  emoBon  or  idea  

•  The  form  of  a  product  essenBally  “speaks”  to  the  user  

•  ObjecBve:  construct  5  different  forms  that  convey  the  assigned  emoBons  – Cool,  precise,  elegant,  playful,  power

Morph!  •  Using  the  characterisBcs  of  a  natural  object,  a  manufactured  object  was  morphed  and  transformed  to  aAain  a  more  natural  form  

•  The  object  is  morphed  over  several  drawings,  with  each  one  gradually  showing  it’s  transformaBon

Product  Architecture  •  ObjecBve-­‐  Using  the  primary  components  of  an  alarm  clock,  explore  several  configuraBons  

•  Design  theme:  alarm  clock  that  promotes  producBvity  – Designed  for  customers  who  are  lazy  and  slow  to  rise  in  the  morning  

– Snooze  buAon  is  tucked  away  to  increase  difficulty  of  access  and  encourage  the  user  to  wake  up

AcBvity  Analysis  •  Client:  Cecilia  •  Cecilia  works  in  billing  and  collecBons  at  a  recruiBng  agency  •  Makes  several  calls  and  handles  hundreds  of  accounts  on  a  weekly  basis  

•  Takes  several  notes  using  sBcky  notes,  scrap  paper,  and  notepad  paper  

•  Causes  confusion  and  mess  as  notes  and  reminders  pile  and  take  up  space  •  Notes  and  pens  get  covered  and  misplaced  •  This  makes  her  job  difficult  when  she  needs  to  refer  back  to  these  notes  to  recall  info
