Assignment #3.1 Exploration (10 concepts)

1.a My gap

In what way might I store my drawing pens on my desk, so that I can easily get the desired pen and easily take them with me to an another place

1.b The primary user needs

• The pencilbox contains everything I need to draw (except for paper)
• The pencilbox looks cool
• The pencilbox is portable
• The pencilbox makes it easy to select the pencil needed
• The pencilbox protects my pencils and markers
• The pencilbox can be easily placed on any desk
• The pencilbox is useful and available for every artist

2. Decomposition of the design problem

For the decomposition of the design problem I took three of the user needs I wanted to explore. The measurements of the box are fixed, as I’m designing this pencilbox primarily for myself, for a fixed sized existing piece of furniture.
