During
the project, four full-sized models were built. The original model, a test-buck,
was used to work out the clever interlock system that binds the major parts
together when mounted to a wall. These two additional models were fabricated
for aesthetic and volume studies and allowed people to physically test the
product before it existed. This stage is always helpful in understanding
the effectiveness of a design. Occasionally a design can look wonderful
on screen or in a drawing, but it is not until a potential user actually
looks, touches, and reacts to the product that we are truly capable of evaluating
how well it has met our goals. The bottom line is that the product has to
feel right—both to the purchaser and the user! |
