make it better.

For this project our group looked at poorly designed objects and explored ways to make them better. To begin this project we gathered objects that cost less than five dollars to evaluate for redesign. We brought these objects as well as five sketches of each to class, and chose our object of interest from those chosen. 

We chose the glue stick as our object, and got right to work breaking down what we liked and disliked about the item. Our mind map, pictured right, depicts our thougts. Basically we came to the conclusion that the glue stick can be too wide, thus producing too much excess glue, it is not aesthetically pleasing, and there is only one thickness. Through this process book you will discover my group’s new design for the glue stick, and you will never think of it the same again.
