The challenge set by Sonywas to design a product, or

products, which could cracktechnology obsolescence andensure the products value tothe user for a lifetime.

The project was offered to Brunel design students anda group of seven of us decided to work together on it.

We worked with Sony as design consultants

developing the work over a period of four months. Wesplit the design work between us to maximising ourindividual strengths.

In this project the initial idea of a Core productwas mine and my main role was to supervise theproduction of communication materials with thirdparties.

handpumps in africa keepbreaking and remain broken.we need to know why?

Project: Intuitive water pump for AfricaStudent work : Final year major project

goal

To replace broken pumpswhich have working boreholesto make use of this hugeinvestment.

1 in 3Pumps in Africa are broken.Some studies suggest pumpsare breaking faster than theyare being put in.

$1000The minimum cost to provide aborehole for a pump to accesswater in dry areas.

8/12/2019 Portfolio 06-03-14

14/37

Significant time andeffort went into thedevelopment of a set ofinstructions that would beunderstood by Africans.

As the were not the

resources to do this inAfrica a series of testswere created for samplegroups in the UK to tryand obtain informationwhich would be usefuldespite the culturaldifference.

The design of the pumpitself was complicatedby the need to havethe components andmanufacturing locallysourced in Africa.

The design developmentfocused mainly on tryingto improve the waterextraction technique andexperimenting with locallyavailable materials.

The project had two main focuses: theproduction of a working pump suitable forthe environment and the creation of a systemof instructions to allow users in Africa toassemble and maintain the product.

8/12/2019 Portfolio 06-03-14

15/37

The output of theproject producedthree main results.

A set of rules was produced with detailed instructionswhich would allow more instructions to be created,

especially how to construct or repair the system. Thesewere created through repeated testing of differentinstructional techniques.

A pump was also designed which could take all itsrequired components from locally available materials

and be constructed using local tools and skills. This isa massive improvement over many pumps which relyon imported technology and components.

The final achievement was proving that the designcould function and with further development extract

enough water to feed a real need.

Rule 2Changingangle

The ruleIf youmust changeperspectiveorrotatetheproduct,itsbest todo it through procedural images of therotation.

Changing theview stepby stepkeeps peoples orientationwith theproduct andreduces thechances of mistakes.

This principlecanalso beapplied if youneedtozoom ontheobject infora extendedpart of theinstructions,If youneedtocontinueshowing theconstructionof theproductat acloserview point.

Recommendations

Youshouldnot needmorethanfour photos toconvey atransitionunless it is particularly complicated.Aftershowingonetransitionyoucanreducethe numberof steps showingthetransitionif it is repeated.

Whenshowing transitions donot show theobject revolving

purely onits own.Its moreadvisableto show humansmoving it inthe pictures as seenhere.

Zoom images requires only twoimages;onebeforezooming andone afterthezoom.Both shouldbetakenfrom thesameangleandof thesame content.

Rule 3Oneprocessper image

The ruleOnly completeoneprocess perimage.

By only having oneprocess perimagetheinstructions aremuch less likely mis interpreted.Each imagehas only onething tocommunicateandso individuals findeasier tonoticewhat is going onineach image.

This alsogoes forrepetitivetasks. Forexampledonottry toshow multiplescrews being placedin oneimagejust becausethey arethesameprocess.This canleadtoindividuals missing components ornot perceiving everyscrew.

Recommendations

Whentaking pictures of processes donot expect users todoanything they havenot beeninstructedtodo.An imageof anut on ascrew threadis not enough tocommunicatethat nut must bedoneup.

Rule 4Propertool use

The ruleWhenshowing instructions relating toprocesses suchas tightening screws,show procedural images toimplydirectionof movement.

By adding twophotos insteadof onetoshow ausertightening upanut it is moreeffectiveinimproving usersuseof tools.Many users foregotheuseof tools andjust usefingers if not properly instructed.

Recommendations

Whentaking photos try tomakethe movement asunambiguous as possible.Inthetwo adjacent picturesyoucansee thearm clearly moveclockwise.This canbeunderstoodfrom theimages becauseit wouldbe highlyunlikely forthearm togo from thefirst steptothesecond inacounterclockwisemanner.

Inprocesses requiring precisionorsmall amounts of forcethis methodcanalso beused tocommunicateaneedforagentle touch. This is doneby showing pictures of verysmall movements which helpcommunicatethe needfordelicacy..

Rule 1Perspectiveof photos

The ruleWhen taking photos,try to takepictures from a consistentperspectivewhich only varies by small degrees.

It is also important to not changethecropping of thephoto andstay at asingle zoom setting.

Doing this helps peoplestay orientatedwith theprocess.Changing angleof view abruptly can lead to confusionresulting in errors in construction.

RecommendationsTakephotos form a3/4perspectiveto theproduct.It allowsthemost visibility.

When taking photos try to includehumans in the imagebecauseit also provides referenceto both scaleandorientation.

Usea consistent platform orset forthe process becausethis also aids orientation.

Pick yourscaleafter looking through all components andprocesses involvedin theassembly.Being croppedtoowidecan causeproblems if the project has many smallcomponents.

Hex eventually evolved into the graphicseen here. A small library of icons wascreated to represent the different types ofmedia accessed through QR codes.The concept was completely based onhow QR codes work and as such wouldwork with custom scanners.

Hex had a measurable improvement overQR codes in these factors:

- It supports analytics providing accurateinformation on who uses Hex and where.

-Its shape can be customised

-It requires a smaller amount of space tofunction

- It provides pictorial information on whatthe content it provides at a glance.

The products redesignwas based aroundlooking at types of gripand preexisting solutionssuch as easy grip drilland screw drivers. It wasaided by the creation oflow fidelity models to testusers responses.

This was the final designthat was developed.It didnt solve all the

problems in the HTA butwas able to improve uponthose rated to be mostimportant to the user.

The existing layout and design of the icons was poor. The vacuum icon usedon the product did not communicate its meaning and was replaced witha icon stylised like a tornado which is similar to some existing products. Themapping was also improved so that the button would sit beneath the icon it

was initiating.

The design improvements focused on the shape, as this would resolve anumber of complaints discovered in the HTA. Also improved were the icondesign and mapping as it was currently lacking clarity. Finally a standardisedtest by Elvin Karana was used to evaluate the material and decide on a moreemotionally satisfying material to produce the product in.

The design of my productfocused around creating a childfriendly measuring jug which

ergonomically accommodatedchildren and adults.

The result was Twoo.An owl shaped measuring jugwhich functioned like a Talameasuring cone pictured below.

The design was produced with lots of low fidelity prototypes. This wasto test the various potential shapes and designs as well as test howit would function when completing tasks.

Twoo was designed to be higly grippable by bothsmall children and adults it accomplished this byhaving rubberised sides and adding a slot on theback for grip which also had a window in it. Thisallowed children to see in to the measuring jug sothey did not have to lean over the product to gaugehow full it was.

B I G NE WS : G RE EN WO O D I SFINALLY LEAVING BRUNEL! Yesfolks it is true, I am actually leavingBrunel after a fair few years.As astudent it was amazing and as astudent officer,it has been superbwith many ups and a few downs.

There havebeen some absolutelysublime moments such at the

demonstration and achievingthe sports strategy. I have metsome great people along theway, but I havealso met my fairshareof clowns. This balance ofpeople is why being a studentofficer is so great,you can educateas well as being supported onyour campaigns. I would alwaysrecom mend anyone goingfor election because it a greatexperience and a cracking C.V.builder. You are always learningand when I first cameinto the jobI didnt have a cluehow to do it

(and somewould say I still dont)and this is wheremy first thankyou comes in.

UBS staffI saluteyou. Throughyour great training and supportit has developed myself and theother student officers into whatweare today, always fighting thestudents corner.

My second goes to all thepart timers (Sam Middlewoodexcluded) and chairs ofthe Union,especially my sports chairs. Youguys have had a tough timehavingto work with me,but I thinkwe got though it really well in theend,and there will always betimefor a students activities tequila.

To the student officers, it hasbeen immense workingwith youguys.You are the best collegesanyone could ask for. I hopewehavepassed on all the knowledgewe can to the new lot (they

dont know what they are lettingthemselves in for, but we werenever goingto tell them that).

But my biggest thanks go to allthe students who I havemet andhavesupport meth rough my timein office.It wouldnt havebeen thesame without you guys (becausesomeoneelse would havegot it!!).

So what is the futurefor me?Well I might become a studentagain doing a masters (dontworry not at Brunel),o r I mighthit the big bad world and get a

job. I think that optimises how Ihavechanged at Brunel and whatI think ofuniversity life and I shallend it with a quote.

Always keepyour options open,becauseyou dont which ones willclose

Coming towards theendof mytermand I have decidedthatit sastrangejobbeinganOfficerofa SU.
