WEEK 7
Beta final prototype
Finish with the solo sock in the laundry
"I then created an object with a washable net that retrieves dirty socks and goes to the laundry with the rest of clothes, that is an object that can be decorative"
" please peers scroll down till the end of the page, long page ;-)....."
1. The name I will give my artifact.
Find names, it's true, is not the easiest thing, therefore I made helped Lingzigi, and combined many small words together but there is one that I like because it sounds good in my language is
sockanet
Fonction of the object : swallow, sort, decorate, by pairs, game
situation: attach, visible, up, mobile, everywhere, on the wall, on the windows,
Greek and latin roots ; poly, top, forma, caro, bios, cyclo, aero, chrono, neo, longi, voraore, carni,,aqua, pluri, kratos, endo, morpho....
list of words : sock, swallower, herding, Clean, fresh, fragrance, tube, net, pipe, protection, hygiene, animal, assistance, organization, art, attachable, bag, washable, protective, ideal, colorful, cheerful, anti-chore, playful, innovative, creative, useful, customizable, Remarkably, identifiable, tribe, bath, new, jungle, aspic, cobra, python, wormwell, cleaning, storage, furniture...
cutting words, blender, make funny mix, add a letter, mix French and English why not?
Lingzini is cool, but I still don't get it with the .org....
2 One or more nice images of my prototype
I still have enlarged the cylinder to facilitate the passage of socks, I further added a capsule at the extremity for a more fashionable look
All my prototypes (first one on the right)
Red version of the teen model
2. One or more nice images of my prototype :
The beta protype : you remember the snake from week 5 ?
Description of the Teen Model : you can take the net bag from the end and I added the capsule that could accommodate a freshnet bag
Girly version
3. Some background on the gap you addressed and your problem definition
Original gap was
How to find a way not to lose a sock in the laundry?
The question now is :
In what way must I facilitate socks storage in the laundry and make people love to do it?
The object works, it has been tested by some people, it is useful, it is innovative because it does not exist in the small market of furniture or object, it makes the chore of sorting socks nicer, it meets the user needs
To see the key user needs : designintheair.webnode.fr/week-5/
Now that I have advanced in my creation, we must ask the question whether it will appeal or not...
4. A very short description of what the next steps would be to further refine and develop my artifact.
My object was created from a need I have identified in my life every day, I think it might be of interest to more than one family, develop? well any MOOC to explain me how to develop a idea on the market ;-).. if this item was to be marketed, it would need to be constructed of plastic to ensure more strength or may be in wood that would be better ...and need more work on painting, it should be offered with different decorations to suit different ages and styles, ......anyway I will still improve my SOCKANET!!!!!
5. Any other information I feel might be interesting to my classmates, or relevant to evaluating my work
I worked a lot on this Mooc, and I liked it, I will also work on the shark model because some peer said that it was cool....here is the link to see the shark model from week 5

I hope you had as much fun as I do to evaluate peers and see others creations.
THANK YOU PEERS!!!!!!...and thank you to my daughters, friends and neighbors for the pics!!!!
