Molina #1 Locker.: Recent activity

sjmolina, i like your idea of a multi-compartment locker, its nice to see that you thought of the possibility of more than one pair of shoes. one thing that might help clarify your ideas is to spread out the dimensions of the locker on the "final design" section.

Great detailed written description and 3d model of your locker design. It is helpful that you have included dimensions in your model too, even if I can not read them all, sometimes they overlap, which you want to avoid especially if you are going to print it. Also, one dimensions I can´t see because you are just showing us the front elevation is how deep is the locker? I like all the considerations you made and needs you observed that you tried to accommodate in your design, for example including storage for musical instruments, gym bags, and shoes. Your explanation about why you have different shoes you need to store in your locker was informative too, and made it clear why you had provided those special compartments. Nice job!

Stephanie,
I can print this today then you can draw over it in a different color as mentioned above. You need more sketches, if you have started a sketch up model please post an image today and throughout the week. It's all about the process. You need dimensions. Please include them on your next sketch.

You've got some great details and notes in your drawing. If you want to test ideas or make changes to a hand drawing, one option is to place trace paper over it to use your current drawing as a reference as you draw new ideas. Or you can make a photocopy of your current drawing and then add more details and notes to the photo copy version, also utilizing color pens can help distinguish new ideas from what you originally drew. You should be able to upload multiple images too. Keep up the good work and sharing what you are doing.

So far it's going good. I just ploaded pictures of how my locker is, and how my partner and I share it. There's things I want to change, or add to my sketch, but I'm trying to figure out how to do so.

sjmolina. You are off to a good start with your project. But it's hard to understand what you're showing us in the sketch under "Brainstorm" because it's hard to see all of your drawing.

For best results, all your images should be horizontal and have a maximum size of 580px by 326 px. The imageviewer will automatically shrink them to fit if they are larger, but if it's a vertical image to start with, it will cut it off, as it has done with yours. Please rescan your image as a horizontal, remove the old one, and upload a new one? Thanks!

How is your project progressing? Do you have new work from the "develop solution" step to share yet?

You´ve made some great observations and include a helpful history of your personal use of lockers in your collect information. You could also take photos of your existing locker, or look for images of other lockers or storage furniture for inspiration. Another idea for collecting data involves interviewing classmates about how they use their lockers, trying to identify any problems with the current ones.

Is the sketch you´ve posted under Brainstorm-Analysze your existing locker or your first idea for a new locker? Measuring and drawing your existing locker could be helpful and you could post under collecting information. Then when you are ready to brainstorm, try to do as many sketches as you can of different ideas, that´s what brainstorming is all about. Then try posting 5-10 of those sketches under brainstorm-analysze along with some text to explain your ideas.

You are off to a good start, keep going, and have fun!
