Task 5: Designing dream machines

This video follows the development of three project designs; a modernised classic motorcycle, a motor scooter suited to conditions in India, and a kitchen appliances. And by watching these, we can get a general idea of how does the process going through by designing and developing a new product. We can get insights from these. The processes are about design brief, brainstorming, research, proposal, solutions, prototype, and evaluation etc.
Personally I think the research part is very important, especially shows in the part of Nick Talbot’s Suzuki scooter, because the product is highly influenced by the cultural of Indian, which the scooters, they are very useful and important, everyone is carrying stuff by scooter. Therefore you will not know these unless you do some research. And other important massage for us is that always communicate with clients and costumers, so that you will not out of the brief and always gains good ideas from other peoples ,that is the way that keep us always on the right track and improve our designing.
