Design
Design specification said that:
- Able to change weight.
- Comfortable to hold and use (especially for women and teenagers)
- Not so complicated to change weights
- Weights inside cannot move around, make noise, etc
- Not so sharp outside (might get hurt)
All of my designs must be blue, because recent scientific and psychological research said that blue room or just color makes the weight you are holding feel less heavy. The weights also come in sizes: thin, thick, small, big, and medium. The outer material is going to be rubber
My 1st design is the simplest one. It is round and bone shaped, which is easy for the person to hold. It is able to change weight and comfortable to hold. The specification says that it is not so complicated to change the weights, but the cap might be a little hard because you have screw it also, but this time, harder which is not so easy to do. The weights inside won’t make noise and it won’t move, and it is not sharp, which is good.
My 2nd design much better than the 1st one, because I realized that the weight will move if you put it down because it is round; So I made it hexagon shaped, but the handle is still round because if it would be hexagon shaped also, it will be hard to hold. And the weight which you put inside, can be hexagon shaped or round shaped, it doesn’t matter, but it has to be 0.5 cm smaller that the weight so that it can be able to put it in. And the cap is much easier because you just open it and close it, and it’s very tight. But the tiny little problem is that it’s a little bit sharp. But the rubber is ok, but the “body” might go through the rubber and come out.
My 3rd design is my best, I think. Because it is octagon shaped, and it is very easy to hold, because it has these specially shapes where you can fit your fingers, it doesn’t matter how big you fingers are. And the weights are round because if it had another shape, it would be hard to put it in. the design specification says ‘not sharp outside” but it’s not that sharp, the edges are not sharp, they are a little bit round.
My designs look small, but the actually size is big, like 3 computer mice. And for this kind of size, the highest weight might be at least 5.
My best “chosen” design is number 3, because it is like the improved version of the 1st and 2nd design. And it fits all the specifications.
