This week we had to take our 30 sketches for new pieces of cutlery and make models of each one, I used blue modelling foam, which is relatively easy to shape and form. Although it was a long process it allowed me to see the concepts in a fully three dimensional form and see if they were comfortable to use and hold.
After making these models we had to use the matrix evaluation technique to narrow down our concepts to the best three, we did this in groups where we were able to gain feedback off of others which we could then use when developing our designs.
After carrying out the matrix evaluation we had to pick the three best scoring designs and develop them, making models out of model board.
