Rubrics Matrix
Water bottle
Vase
How the rubrics matrix has helped me:
It helped me by helping me understand about draft lines, shape lines and outlines to help me differentiate the three. It also helped me with shape borrowing and applying SCAMPER to help me with my final product. It also helped me change quite a lot of the original idea to the final product. Lastly, it also helps to motivate me to do better.

Design Appreciation
Well designed products:
Electric toothbrush
Why is it a well designed product? It is equipped with batteries so that the user does not need to use much energy to brush and scrub their teeth, they just have to press a button and more the toothbrush all over the teeth, and the toothbrush will do its job without the user to waste energy.
Mouse trap
Why is it a well designed product? It is designed so that when a cheese is placed at the mouse trap, the mouse will be attracted to it and will go to the mouse trap. The mouse trap will then trap the mouse.
Poorly designed products:
Drink bottles with poorly designed labels.
Why is it a poorly designed product? The buyer cannot tell which one is the flavour they want since the label is very small and difficult to read. The two bottles also look exactly the same except for the colour and the labels, which my cause confusion for the buyers.
Tap with slippery handle
Why is it a poorly designed product? When a person washes his/her hand, the hand would be slippery as the hand is wet and water acts as a lubricant. The tap will be difficult to on as the handle is slippery and difficult to grap hold of and turn when the hand is wet.
