This slide aims to demonstrate my innovative ability, used to produce a practical yet stylish product for a specified context.
It shows my artistic ability is not limited to an aesthetically pleasing hobby, but also has the foundation of an ability to demonstrate the construction and use of a complex item.
The scenario I was provided with was the need to design and manufacture a product, used to enhance the experience of festival attendees. I immediately researched common issues
experienced by my target consumer, finding a niche which had scalability for mass production and demand. I realised that few individuals were fortunate to physically see exhibitions,
due to the large crowds which accumulate at festivals. In response to this, my design idea was a stool which featured both extendable and compact legs, allowing for multiple levels of
use. At its full extension, the stool provided a comfortable seat. When partly retracted, the stool offered a standing platform- suitable for the average weight of an adult. The legs
could then be fully retracted to flatten for practical storage.
The drawings above provide an exploded diagram of my product. This allowed me to appreciate my own objectives during construction- providing guidance on how the product
should be assembled and function when completed. Thanks to these simple drawings the construction was a success, the product exceeded my expectations and I was awarded a
Grade 9.
