Conclusion
• Collapsible – So easy to store • Adjustable Height – Suitable for different environments • Adjustable Angle – Adapts to different environments • Fairly Secure Storage
• No place for storing or placing laptop • Projector storage method could damage projector • May be difficult to manufacture height adjustment mechanism
Good design with significant potential but may be hard to realistically manufacture
Yes
• The design is not aesthetically pleasing • It is quite bulky and may not fit into the office environment • The height adjustment system could be dangerous and trap fingers
Solid design but lacks innovation and may be impractical in use, despite meeting 36 specification points
No
33/38
• Innovative and uses fabric to cleverly hide the adjustment mechanism • Allows the laptop and projector to be used, whilst taking up little floor area • Would be easy to store
• Could potentially be difficult to manufacture due to the complex adjustment mechanism • May not be sturdy when being used
Innovative design that would require refinement as there are some impracticalities
34/38
• Very functional design that allows the laptop to be stored and the projectors height and angle adjusted • Packs away to a small size to allow easy storage and could fit into an office environment well • Easy to set up
• Not aesthetically appealing to the user • Laptop may be difficult to see due to the height for which storage is proposed at • The adjustment mechanism would have a lot of weight to support
Functional design which includes some unique features that could be integrated into another design
Yes
22/38
• Quirky and would be suitable for a primary school environment due to the range of colours • Adjustment mechanism allows set levels for adaptability to different environments • Easy handling of the wires
• Design is bulky and would not be easy to store • The shapes are pointy and could pose a safety hazard • It would be heavy and difficult to move
Designed with focus on aesthetics so is very impractical, but adjustment feature is very functional
No
34/38
• Lights are aesthetically appealing and provide an additional safety feature • Different levels ensure that the laptop and projector can both be easily seen • Very stable during movement
• • • •
36/38
• Very easy storage and great portability • Plenty of space for secure storage and additionally shelving for storing other items • Adjustable height for the whole unit • Sleek and modern design
• May be difficult to manufacture due to the complex curves and additional movable features • May not be stable and the stand may not be able to support the required weight
Overall a good design with lots of potential, but may be hard to manufacture
• Very innovative and would be very easy to store, but no secure method of storing the projector or other items • Quick to set up
• Could easily be knocked over due to its folding nature • Would require another unit to store wires and spare bulbs • Not a sleek design
Innovative but does not fit the client brief and would therefore not be suitable to progress
• The cabinet has an innovative method of storing wires and cable which could be very appealing to the user • Would be very stable during use
• It does not have space to store and place the laptop • Would be very heavy and large, so hard to store • No adjustable height
Not a stand-out design but the rotating diamond wire storage makes it suitable to progress this feature

Space for storing the projector and the laptop Secure area for storing the projector Adjustable height is included within the design Would be stable due to its shape
Additional power required for the lights No adjustability for the height of the unit Not particularly aesthetically pleasing Fairly bulky
Would be practical, but has no standout innovative features, other than lighting

Conclusion
28/38
• Easy to use and would be fairly stable • Different height for projector and laptop storage to allow use of both simultaneously • Requires very few materials so simple construction
• Nowhere to store the projector securely and no extra storage space. Cable’s and wires are not hidden and may be unsightly • Not aesthetically pleasing • Fairly large, but may be quite delicate due to the nature of the different shapes
Not a particularly functional or aesthetically pleasing design so will not be progressed
28/38
• Aesthetically pleasing and looks very modern which would appear to a wide target audiences • The angle of the projector can be adjusted easily • Space for placing both the projector and the laptop
• May not be very stable or strong due to the shape which may be liable to breaking if unsupported • Not particularly functional as no space for storage of the projector or other items
Not the most functional design, but is aesthetically pleasing and has potential with development
• This design is very functional and could potentially fulfil a range of different purposes • Would be easy to manoeuvre in different directions • Small so would be easier to store • Lots of options for height adjustability
• May be complicated to use initially • It would be made from acrylic which is not a sustainable or easily repairable material • Would also be difficult to design and manufacture the adjustment mechanism
This design has potential, but would not be feasible to construct with the materials and facilities in the school environment
No
• Very aesthetically pleasing and is based upon furniture by Tom Raffield • Neatly stores a reel for wire which would allow easy set up • Space for storing the projector in the rear of the product
• Doesn’t serve any other functions and the complex veneer shape may be hard to manufacture • There is no option for storing the laptop on or within the product
The aesthetic appeal could be used to develop another product, but overall the design is not functional enough
Yes
• This design is functional as it provides lots of innovative options for storage which would appeal to the client • The design is minimalistic to provide aesthetic appeal • Easy to use
• The design does not provide storage space for the projector • Would be very difficult to manufacture the veneers and moving aspects • May be unsteady during movement
This design is overcomplicated for the purpose it will serve and therefore will not be progressed any further
No
• The design is very simple and easy to use • It provides multiple options for placing the projector and laptop • The wheels would allow easy movement and storage • Would be very steady
• The retro design may not be appealing to all users • It lacks functionality and does not have an adjustable height or adjustable angle • No place for storing projector
The design is too simple, but progressing it to add new features could make it a viable design solution
Yes
• The design is very innovative and would be incredibly easy to store and quick to set up • It has space for placing a projector and a laptop • It is simple, but would serve its primary function well • Aesthetically pleasing
• May not be particularly stable in use and may be difficult to carry all the parts • The shape means it may be difficult to place the laptop on it • No place for storing projector and no adjustable height or angle
The design uses string to great effect, and while this design is not suitable, using string as a flexible material is promising
Yes
• The design would be very easy to move through pushing and is very innovative, using a different method of movement to the other products which use wheels • Able to place the projector and laptop on unit
• Would be difficult to protect the projector for damage during movement • Would be made from HDPE using blow moulding, which is fairly unsustainable and impractical in a school workshop • May be imbalanced during use
An innovative idea, that would not function effectively or be realistically possible to manufacture for this project
No
