What is the purpose of making mock-up? • Mock up is constructed so that the designer could test if it works well and looks good • Factors to consider are • Function • Aesthetics • Ergonomics • Construction
Scale 1:1 mock up • Can be used to test if it could be used comfortably
Scaled down mock up • Scaled down mock-up is used to show a concept • Scale down options • 1:3 • 1:6 • 1:10
ErgonomicsThe study of user interaction with the product and its environment • A mannequin can be used to check the size and proportion of a scaled-down design
Function • To check if the product works well For example, a tape can be mounted on the mock up to see if it fits well
Aesthetics • To study the look at different angles • To check with the user on the style
Joint and construction • Use tape to hold on the part temporary • Use mockup to think if the parts could be joined together when using actual material
Evaluation • Recording of evaluation of mock up with pictures and answers to the following questions: • What to evaluate? • What are the good points? • What are the bad points? • What can be improved? • Anticipated problems?
Joints are not secured enough • Flimsy • Cardboard material • Base support is not enough
Functionality Test • Test to see if the mock up works as intended. • Mock up only prevents cup from spilling if the direction of falling is the same as one of the support • Can be improved by having a round base instead of 4 stands.
Contextual Use • Demonstrate how your model works in the situation it was designed for • For a scale down model involving interaction with humans, use a mannequin • Mock up occupies a reasonable amount of space. Can be made smaller so it does not occupy too much of spaceon the work desk. • The holding piece can be further rounded to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
