Welcome to modulate in this module, I will run you to the product design process that we will be creating
a product from scratch from start to finish.
In this video, we will identify the product we want to design, draw inspiration from the internet
and finally create a specification that we can use to base our sketches on.
Also, the next four videos will be relatively long as I will go through each step in great detail.
So feel free to skip ahead if you're not interested in one particular section.
Let's get started.
So I have already decided on my product and I will be creating a bar stool.
Now, obviously, this thought of getting busted wasn't instant.
I was looking around and thinking of.
Objects that I think are kind of boring and can be improved.
And one thing that I noticed that are generally the same and there is not much innovation I chase in
general.
And that's where the idea of creating an innovative barstool came from.
So I would be creating a barstool.
However, you can be creating your own products, look around and think what?
You can create better.
So now that we have decided what we want to create, let's move on to the next section of this video.
Now that we know we are designing a bus to let's stop taking inspiration from the internet.
Now, you may have chosen to create a different product, but you can still follow along as I will be
giving you a few tips that can be very valuable.
Let's go.
So before we start looking for inspiration, I would recommend you to create a if canvas like this.
I'm doing it on faith.
Maybe you can do it on a PowerPoint, Word, etc. where you can just drag and drop your ideas from the
internet.
So now I have safari opened up here and my search is innovative for to designs.
So I'm just going to scroll through these and look for any ones that aren't like.
So initially, this caught my attention, I.
I read this sign, I think it looks really cool and modern, so I'm going to copy this image, increase
that here.
OK, this one looks really cool this one.
So let's bring Jason.
The thing with barstools is that it's a fairly simple concept and and you won't find many unique or
innovative ones because obviously ultimately the chair and you want to prioritize function and conflict
over design.
So this looks cool as well.
We copied and pasted here.
Let's look at a few more.
What this looks really nice.
We don't need too many, so let's just take a couple more.
Oh.
This looks really cool.
Well, I really like this, it's really plain and simple.
OK, so now that we have our six images here, we can go ahead and create a new page.
And in this page, I will go ahead and read to each of these out of 10 and just see what I like and
I don't like about it.
So I design one, which is this one right here.
I like the minimal and and you can design.
It looks comfortable,
but it is not quite adjustable.
So overall, I would give this a rating of eight out of 10
designed to look really cool again.
I think I would say the same for that.
It's it's got a unique design.
I've not seen something like this in any other place.
It looks premium.
But again, not a height adjustable.
So I would give that a nine out of 10 design three.
Now, initially, it looked quite cool, but now that I look at it again, I think it's it's not it
doesn't really look that amazing.
It doesn't look premium.
It looks kind of boring.
So boring, cannot be immune.
So, yeah, we've got a three out of 10.
Next, we have this design for and this looks comfortable.
It looks modern and unique.
But it is not.
I just
so started reading off again, nine of 10.
So one thing that we're noticing here is that it's really hard to create something that is height adjustable
and.
Elegant.
So if we can somehow manage to do that with one of our designs, that would be amazing.
So however, if we can't, I think we need to choose one depending on what we need the design for.
We need to choose between elegance and function
design.
Five, again, is very unique.
But there's not the premium or comfortable, I would say, 600.
And finally, we have our designed six, which looks comfortable and premium.
But again, it's not height adjustable, so let's give that final.
So now that we've written this down, we've sort of got an idea of what bathrooms should ideally be
like.
And we can use this information in the next section of this video.
It is now time to create a design specification, a specification is essentially a list of design details
and features.
You want your product to have the specification may sound boring, but trust me, it is really effective
when creating sketches.
So I'm here in Google Docs and I will be creating my design specification here.
So firstly, I will create a table.
Two by four should be fine.
And on the.
Left, I will have my.
Headers, so sure.
Will be the design followed by dimensions.
Functionality and materials.
So let's look at design first.
Now, within design, we can talk about things like shapes, colors, what style we want.
So personally, I prefer a minimal and elegant style.
I want my colors to be neutral, so maybe whites and blacks I can also do with like wood color.
Sheep, I want the seat to be round.
I think that looks, in my opinion, that looks pretty cool.
So that should be it for design, so we have a basic idea of what we want and dimensions.
Let's look at like two dimensions.
So I don't know if you can see clearly or not, but it says the height should be approximately sixty
nine centimeters.
With a bigger battle being with the height of 79 centimeters.
Let me open a clearer image.
No, not this one.
Oh, no, not this one, this one.
OK.
And this works.
So we have a height of 24 to twenty points, let's just take twenty seven as a height.
Twenty seven in just 10 centimeters.
That would be sixty eight point five centimeters.
So we want the fight
to be six between seven and nine centimeters.
And we want the radiance of the seat to be between.
Say, 350 and 400.
Mm.
Also, it could be fine.
So that's the diameter of midterm.
So you between 35 and 30 minutes on terms of functionality.
We, of course, want to be comfortable.
In one it to be ideally height adjustable,
but I'm putting a question mark beside that because we don't want to be able to create that.
Then we have stable.
So we don't want to move around that much or easily be pushed around or tip off.
You want to be stable and steady.
You want if okay, if you're creating a height adjustable thing you want and you want it to be easily
adjustable.
And finally, you want it to last long.
You don't want to go back in like a couple of years.
And finally, let's look at materials.
So I think we should be using plastic Bush for.
Like a premium glossy effect.
So as of now, I don't know this time or even.
What kind of bus making, so I'm just putting out videos just as I like it.
And then depending on the type of question we choose, we'll be choosing one or two more tunes from
this.
So Anodised.
Aluminum is good quality spare.
It gives a really premium and slightly shiny effect, which I have not.
And then maybe Pinewood, because Pinewood, the appearance looks pretty cool.
So.
Once you created this for your.
Designers say even if you're not creating the bus when you're creating something else, creating this
design specification gives you a starting point.
Which then helps you create your sketches and then help to finalize your.
Design.
So that is it for this video in our next video, we will begin looking at creating sketches and then
finalizing our design.
See you there.
