This activity was very hands on and involving. It allowed us to understand the many different parts and pieces used in the every day object. In our case it was a Breville iron. The sheer effort required to take apart the iron produced a blatant message critiicizing the amount of parts used. A reduction of these needs to take effect, other wise if we continue with this trend, we will be seeing the consequences seen in The 11th Hour.
On another note however, it was intriguing to delve into the iron and see the hidden design features and effort that has gone into it. Technical solutions were exposed, where we were able to appreciate and explore this other part of industrial design.

I did the same activity, but using an Polaroid Camera. In all it was very effective when I was being taught about divergent thinking. It really helped me with some 'Novel Idea's' on industrial designs.
I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
