Clock – time telling

Today i’ll be “Reviewing” Clocks about time telling

 

Integrity

The great thing about clocks is that it tells time , keeps u on time also keeps you on track, ensures/remind you that u do not miss out on something when you see the time.

This clock runs on battery and its easily accessible from the back of it. So in the event of the clock not moving it will be easy to start it back up again.

Creativity

I feel that the creativity here is how the 1st person who designed a clock like that , made use of gear-mechanism and simple wiring to a energy souce(in this case the battery) and it would keep the clock ticking

 

Reflection

Clocks have came a long way , from using shadows to tell time , then needles(like the one above) and the digital clocks many designers have came up with other fancy ways to decipher time too

Paper rack

Integrity

This Paper rack looks simple and is easy to use, the great thing about it is that it has many compartments for the users to sort different type of documents and not mix them up.

It also uses a build-up way, this can save the user quite a bit of space so the paper that are stored on this paper rack can be stacked upwards too as there are different levels.

Creativity

There isn’t much of a creativity in this one except, maybe the slight 30-40 Degree slant in the paper rack and putting a “stopper” like end so the paper doesn’t slide off.

Quality

Its made up of metal with some insulator like coating , the metal hanger type of material , It wouldn’t be able to withstand too much weight or the whole rack will be bent, but will still be usable even if that happens the only thing that might be a problem is that if it is bent , the amount of paper that may be slot in would be affected.

Coin Bank(Product review)

Integrity

The integrity of this product is that it gives the user a place to do have their tiny savings.

Creativity

They made the old school porcelain “piggy bank” into a plastic piggybank, this makes it more durable

Quality

It is transparent so it lets the user track how full the coin bank is without having to shake or lift it up.

How would i use it

I actually have one of these, but in a different shape and color,  because i used to always store my coins in the cupboard whenever i am back home and it became messy so my friend got me one of these, however it was too small for me so i stopped using it.

ScubaDriving anyone?

Integrity

Allows users who aren’t divers to be able to stay and navigate under water for long period of time.

Creativity

The Designer literally brought the land-scooter to the underwater world.

Quality

Users dont really have to worry aand included a compartment for the oxygen tank.bout breath as the designer took that into consideration

Integrity

It helps the users with their Unicycle riding, for newbies the 2 metal poles with wheels act as a guide so that the rider does not fall easily.

Creativity

People made similar things for the bicycle, why not the unicycle?  i take my hats off for this designer who came up with the idea, simple yet helpful.

Quality

Easy to install or remove, can be adjusted higher as the user gets better.

Folding Keyboard “Key Stick”

Fold keyboard

Integrity

The designer of this product took Mobility as an aim when making this keyboard as it can be folded and kept into any normal-sized bag easily.

Creativity/Quality

The inspiration for this keyboard was probably the japanese fan, as the designer mentioned that when folded, it looks like a japanese fan. Also the creativity of the product does not affect the funtionality of the product because when un-folded it is still a full-sized working keyboard(or Key Stick)

How i would use it

If i had this “Key Stick” maybe i would bring it to school or work because we all know , how many people get in contact with the keyboard at school no one knows how many of these people are not feeling well.



Spooky

The forest is spooky to me because if you were to be in there alone at night , you aren’t really alone there are other things there that you do not see.

The Improved spooky

The improved spooky is an area thats man-made, when people walks into the forest they will cause some of the leaves from trees/bushes to rustle.

When that happens it will trigger the device which will then cause all the plants to squeeze in on the user

 

Adorable

I found this picture adorable because this butterfly was so engrossed in pollinating it did not notice my presence (i think) , because i had to go pretty close to be able to take this picture of the butterfly it was about 15 to 20cm away from my phone.

Improved Adorable

Whenever somebody sits on the side for more than a minute, it will cause the flowers to release a flower scent which will attract butterflies telling them that they are ready to be pollinated.

How this works is that , pressure sensor will be installed under the seats , when it records pressure for more than a minute it will trigger the flower scent to be released.
