STAGE 01: RESEARCH & ANALYSIS

PART 01: (GOOGLE SLIDES SHOW – SLIDE 1) – Day 1

Start a Google Slides presentation in your google drive. Be sure to share the presentation with me. Make sure your name and date is on the first slide. You will be adding various parts to the slide show including your final presentation.

PART 02: (SLIDE 2) – Day 1

Let’s get to know the design process further. Your task is to complete the Crazy 8’S TUTORIAL now. Your teacher will provide you with a template for this design process. You must now use this crazy 8’s template as the starting point for your car.

You must take a picture and add this to Slide 2 of your car.

PART 03: (SLIDE 3) – Day 2 & 3

Create a mind map using this website. A mind map sets up the groundwork to build our project on, going over the importance of researching, analyzing and “bringing-in” references and influences prior to designing our prototype vehicle that delivers groceries door to door.

Goal: research, analyze and explore possible avenues that this project can go to, include your findings on your mind Map in the form of Words & pictures ! Here is how a mind map works. 

Deliverables: Create a Mind Map on paper or digitally that addresses the BELOW six questions. Please keep in mind that your Mind Map document will evolve further on a weekly basis, we will be adding additional supporting information to evolve our design thinking and process. Your mind map should have 6 DISTINCT Branches. SUBMIT BY: Taking a picture and include this in SLIDE 3 of your Google Slides.

Questions to be addressed:

1. Delivery of Groceries either, Autonomous driving system or Human based, decide which system you would like to investigate.
2. Showcase some of the existing grocery delivery systems that might already be in place within urban cities?
3. Research and showcase what vehicle types exist in this present time that possibly delivers food, groceries or mail door to door.
4. Explore what the delivered product is contained-in, does your order come in a bag at your door, does it come in a box, what other methods, showcase your findings visually (with words and sketches).
5. How are orders of groceries stored in such vehicles, stacked, lying around the back of a van, what organizational options have you discovered. Additionally, is there a need for the vehicle to be refrigerated while being transported, documenting your findings.
6. Are there any prototypes being worked on presently that drive in autonomous mode or with a person, for the purposes of delivering goods, document your findings accordingly.

STAGE 02: CONCEPT ANALYSIS – (SLIDES 4 – 11)

PART 01:

The lesson sets up the groundwork to start our project, going over the importance of researching, analyzing and bringing-in influences prior to designing our conceptual vehicle that delivers groceries door to door.

TO DO: Showcase 8 examples that inspire you and suggest why you chose each example accordingly. SUBMIT: In 8 different slides choose a futuristic car design from google images and write up a small argument why you choose the image. 

Suggestions of what you can say below.

“I chose this image because the design seems compact and easy to navigate through the streets”

” I chose this image because the design suggests a flexible storage system that I could possibly incorporate in my E.V. design.”

” The following referenced image suggests that the E.V. can store multiple grocery orders at one time.”

PART 02: Drawing Activity: Creating Orthographic Projections of PENCIL SHARPENER (SLIDE 12)

Drawing Objects in Orthographic Views is a form of conveying analysis and design ideas, it is a fundamental skill set or a language of communication that most designers, architects and engineers use in their own professional practice- never too early to learn such a skill set.

Go ahead and do orthographic projections of your pencil sharpener. 

SUBMIT: An image of a pencil sharpener with your orthographic drawing on slide 12  – See example Above. Tutorials are below by Mr. Balian

PART 03: Drawing Activity: Creating Orthographic Projections of YOUR CAR (SLIDE 13)

Now create your own design drawing of your car ! Make sure to use simple shapes. Make it in color using digital tools or pen and paper. It is up to you. Take a picture and SUBMIT it by adding it to slide 13. Below are the tutorials.
