It was the second day since we started the design stage. Been given two weeks we are suppose to make three designs, evaluate each against the design specs and finally justify your final choice. This means I have to work quickly with a lot of focus. Last lesson I had drawn my design roughly in a note book. So today, I started off by drawing my first design on the A3 paper. I had to be very careful when taking measurements and drawing my design so it would exactly depict how I wanted my product to look like. To draw my design  it took almost the whole lesson, since I it was difficult to draw my rack in 3-d though I then managed later on by viewing how other people did theirs. I also made quite a few mistakes which also slowed me down. The challenges that I faced were to draw the designs in 3-d and to bring out my design specs on the design. However I asked my friends and went back to the research that I had done in the investigate stage to get ideas. The skills that were out into action today were; artistic skills, designing skills and sketching skills that were applied when drawing my designs. What I want to improve on next time is to try avoid making mistakes as it makes the paper look dirty. I feel I worked a bit slow today therefore I will try lifting up my pace so that I get moving. At the end of the class, I was satisfied with the level of work I dad done today and looked forward to continue my designs.
