Anchor 1
TOY DESIGN : PLAY AND THE ACT OF PLAY (INDIVIDUAL)
TASK
Train us in the ideation process using the concept of deductive reasoning and questioning in building up the narratives and justification of ideas. We are to execute ideation into building the prototype of the design and demonstration of its application. We also need to explore and develop ideas from various sources,materials and techniques. I was assigned to the children's and youth's group to design a toy or an object of play. Body parts and movements are synonymous with toys as they are the enablers for the play or the act of play to take place. Different body parts and movements respond differently to a toy when performing a play or the act of play.
PROGRESS
This is the final individual assignment. First, my tutor assigned me to the body part,which is head. Then, i started to do some researched about head. For example, the movement of head,the structure and function of head,the toy for head and so on. After i gathered all the information,i started to do it in the PowerPoint. I designed my PowerPoint to a easy to understand style. In the middle of doing the ideation part, i had changed some ideas for it. At first, i chose the iron man helmet for my final idea, but i changed my mind. Because i want to design a toy that is more interesting and can have the head movement. Suddenly,i think about the Floating Candy and it lastly be my idea. Then i started to think how to make the hat,and i gathered the recycled materials that i had from my house. Next, i started to design my Floating Candy's hat. Most of the materials that i used was cardboard. After i done doing the toy, i let my nephew to try it. After that, i asked the reflections from him. He said he was very happy when playing the toy and it is very interesting.
