Term 1

Introduction

My name is Riccardo Borghesi; I am a student at Emirates International School Meadows. I am in Year 8C; I have created this Blogger as part of my MYP Design folder for this year. I have done MYP Design before, last year in Year 7C, and that was my first year in the Secondary School, doing the MYP Curriculum. In MYP Design I have to make sure that I am a good designer, last year, in Term 1, we did the characteristics of advertisements; in Term 2 I worked with Evrard to make a tech fair project, we came in third place! In Term 3 we worked with a Storyboard software and Scratch, it was an interesting topic, I made a story about someone getting bullied. My hobbies are, Gaming, Watching Videos, swimming and I like to mess around on the computer, self-teaching myself some commands and how to find extra stuff out about my computer like, its storage.

The subject MYP Design makes us analyze and see the flaws that are in current designs of different products. I find it kind of hard to think of new ideas. I read that the characteristics of a good designer have to be very attentive to see flaws in designs and re make them but better.

The Problem:

The UAE Nurses Association claims that one of the most difficult parts of their job is
dealing with small children who have a fear of needles.Although the association has some
tips and tricks like putting numbing cream to partially freeze the surface of the skin
before injecting medicine, sometimes the anxiety levels of small children are so high that
it is difficult to get them to hold still.If only there was an easier way to administer
medicine within the syringe.


Design Brief:

My design is that i will make a water siringe that will have shrek on it because alot of little kids like shrek and they would be less intimidated and they would look at him for a distraction from the needle.

Problem:

When playing a 1v1 splitscreen it is very easy to screen watch (looking at the other persons screen to cheat) and it is very annoying when it happenes.

Design Brief:

I will make a box that snuggly goes around your eyes and streches out all the way to your half of the tv so you can only see you screen, for the other player, he can no longer see your screen because of the box

Problem:

When i try to carry a 30CM ruler it doesnt fit in my pencil case. and i always need a 30cm in stead of a 15cm ruler.

Design Brief:

Im going to make a ruler that is 15cm but you can open it and it turnes into a 30cm ruler so that you can carry it where ever you go!
