Unusable airplane
Create a painful or stressful version of
a diy kit
Make this prototype out of wood
title:
in collaboration with:
Jamie, Michelle and Simone (teacher dep.)
Guido (graphic design dep.)
We worked in a group of 5 and started with the cards we choose. First we wanted to make a diy folding manual to fold a t-shirt in an airplane. We played with the subject stressful and frustrating and thought to make something unusable. After a brainstorm we came with a better idea to take a diy airplane a change some important things. So the airplane was designed to cut 4mm wood, we took 3mm wood. In the manual we gave everything number 1, instead of a logical order and the explanation text is very hard if you compare it what you see.
In class we tested this with 2 persons and a timer to make it more stressfull. They couldn't fix it in 3 minutes. So we learned that it's very easy to make things stressfull and unworkable if you change some small things in the design.
