Reflection: Visit to the Red Dot Museum


Can you find examples of SCAMPERS from the exhibits?

Substitute: They replaced the traditional numbers and arrows of analog and digital clocks with words to read the time literally.











Name one thing that you have learnt from the designs that you have seen in the Red Dot Museum.
Ans:I have learnt that things can be made simple and still be really useful and well-made.




Your Favourite Exhibit
Take a Picture of a design that you like the most and explain why it appeals to you.

This light switch is capable of controlling the brightness of a light source. I find this design really cool as it was a really simple and easy to understand design, it also looks really elegant.

Red Dot Museum


SCAMPER:
Modified the screen such that it can rotate 360 degrees.
Combine: It certainly looks like that concept is taken from a mac.
Eliminated the two clicking thingy.




This is my favourite innovation/product. It's a really cool design. Instead of clocks with an hour and a minute hand, this clock has words to interpret/show the time, which is very unique! :D

Reflection: Visit to the Red Dot Museum

SCAMPER:
Combine-They added the head band so the wire will be shorter and it is bluetooth.
Put to other use-The headband also makes the earpiece look nicer.
Eliminate- Eliminated the wire to plug into the music player.
2. I have learnt that not everything must be complicated to be successful, sometimes, a simple thing such as removing something makes it better.
3.
I like this clock as it displays the time by lighting up letters to form the time so it is very easy to read, tell the time and is very unique.

Visit to the red dot museum

1.Can you find examples of scamper from the exhibits?
Yes.They eliminated the face of the clock and only left one hand of the clock
This clock can be adapted to be stuck to the surface of any wall.


2.Not everything has to be complicated to be award winning,simple things can be great too!

3.This is my favourite exhibit as instead of the usual clock,this clock has words on the clock to tell you the time.This clock appeals to me as I find it very unique and sometimes it is hard to read time accurately at a glance,but this clock enables you to do so.
