Rationale:

Target user:

For this product, I have set the target market to the population whose age is in the range of 23 to 30. The round-shaped accessories might be attractive to them, also for same type of decoration. The color of shining gold and silver will catch their eyes with the metallic feeling as well.

Introduction of the Product:

Color: The initial idea of the product was designing a girl-liked nail tool with the color of pink and black. However, I realized that what I have to do is not just at our age but beyond. Then I set the target to the age range beyond 20 years old, turn the view to the working ladies rather than the teenage girls. In terms of fitting the age range that the product needs, the color has been changed from pink to gold and it meets the target users’ like.

Shape: The whole shape of the product is like an oval with the decoration of the waving pattern. And the whole idea is to make the product looks curvy.

Function: Besides, this nail tool is supposed to be multi-function. First of all, the back of the tool has a sanding surface whose function is to shaping the nails while doing the manicure. Secondly, there is a mini brush at the top of the tool in terms of cleaning out the dusts that be produced while doing the nail beauty process. Last but not least, the nail tool has a slightly diagonal edge in order to remove the dirt that hidden in the seams of the nails with the slant angle of the edge.

Material: This nail tool is based on the material named bare wood. The brush is standing on the clay. And the sanding surface is made out of a piece of sanding paper and is pasted on the wood.

Idea: The idea of the product is from the key, the ladies from contemporary society more like the accessories which multiple functions and the mini size rather than the stuffs that weigh heavy and hard to fit into the ladies’ bags. Thus, this product is supposed to fit into ladies’ bags, even the purses of the women. In a word, it is convenient for any lady to carry with.

Also, this product is suggested to be put into lady’s bag or even a purse. Women who love beauty will find this mina nail tool useful and convenient in their daily life.

IDES1031-T6d-Video Reflection-2010-9-14

I always think that every object has its life and it tells a story of a designer. This point of view is also agreed by Henry Ford which is the starter of Ford Car Manufacturing Corporation. When people see one product, they start thinking about the functions and whether it is good to look and use. Furthermore, some people might start thinking about the stories of the designers rather than start using them. Therefore, the whole process of manufacturing a product is such an important part of a product.

 Going through the whole video, few points of views impressed me a lot. Firstly, a good design has to be innovative. Designing stuff involves a long road of designing, making, redesigning and doing a final product. If one final product that designed by someone looks common in every same kind of other products, it will be a tough thing for not only the designer himself, but also for the consumers. Innovative is an important part for a product and it decides the value of a product itself.

Secondly, making a product useful is crucial because once a product is hard to use, who will purchase? Useful stuffs always make the users happy to use and the time for a person to use will last longer than the poorly-designed stuff.

Followed by another important aspect is a good design is supposed to be aesthetic. People sometimes like the beautiful appearance rather than the functions themselves. For example, a girl who is young and do not really know what a good eraser should be in function, she might choose to purchase the one which is beautiful but not good in quality rather than the one with good quality but looks common.

Design confusion is a project that we did last week. A lot of design stuffs are confusing people and make the products hard for people to use in some ways. Thus, for every single product, it is important for the users to understand what it for.

I think every family has its own family heirloom. It might be a treasure thing or just a small comb.

We have found that those stuffs are all last long and good in quality. Therefore, a good and long last design should be produced to be long-lived. So, the material and the way to produce should be taken into consideration and to be important.

Nowadays, people concentrate on some environmental friendly materials to make the products. Also, the idea of less material with the best use is also promoted to the public and it raises people’s awareness across the world. Thus, some designs that fit the requirements are coming out more and more often.

Turning to another aspect, businessman keeps designer company every day. Once a product comes out, it has to be published to the purchasing market, so it is important to communicate to the people who are doing business.

Designing is about affect people and their life. So it should be effective and changeable.
