IGCSE storage project
Aesthetic
Colour
Pastel colors
Pastel colors will make this product look warm and soft, they aren't vibrant and provides a balanced, more subtle look to the product
Primary colors
Will be used for details, and will add a clear look to the product giving it the originality.
Shapes
Rectangular shapes
rectangular shapes are an obvious use for this product. A4 and A3 rectangles will be needed to complete this product. Not adding too many shapes to this product will give a clean and sharp look.
Size
A3
The original size of an A3 paper is 297mm X 420mm. However I will increase it by 30mm incase the student needs extra space for her work.
A4
The original size of an A4 paper is 210mm X 297mm. Again like the A3, I will increase it by 30mm to give it more size.
Style
-
-
Original (no huge amounts of paint being used, keeping the original wood design)
Safety
-
-
-
Edges
Wood edges will be sanded down to decrease the risk of the customer getting injured with a cut/splinter
Manufacturing
-
Painting
I will use spray paint or normal paint in some areas of my product. However I want to keep that natural wood look of this product so there will be minimal paint.
Sanding
Sandpaper will be used to sand the wood pieces to get a smooth surface after cutting. For the curved edges, I'll mark the area and will sandpaper it down
Function
Paperwork storage
This is the main function of this product, to store any paperwork needed. Could be for recyclable paper or just your homework sheets.
Files storage
To store any folders for subjects, there are A3 and A4 folders
Book storage
The customer could keep A4 books in that section, however I doubt there will be any A3 books, perhaps A3 posters could work.
Quality

Veneering
Giving the natural wood a more polished look, will also act as a protection from the damage of water.
Painting
Spray paint or normal paint will be used in the wanted regions of this product. If i do use spray paint, I will need to use a grey undercoat
Environment
Cost
RM 80-90, considering it holds A3 and A4 slots, this product will be big and will take up a lot of space. However, because of the size of this product, it is a reasonable price for students who need this.
NO harmful substances will be produced during the making of this product. Any dust from cutting will be vacuumed/swept away into a bin.
-
Material
I will be using Plywood because it's durable and strong which is perfect for a student who has piles of work stacked. The thinner cuts are easy to work with in the manufacturing process.
The design of plywood is evenly distributed, making the wood more presentable as opposed to normal wood.
Durability
Varnish
Varnishing the product will prevent scratches to appear on the surface. It will protect the wood from any spillage or knocks, which is inevitable on a study desk.
Treating
There are different ways to treat the product, I could use Tung-oil for a protective hand-rubbed finished. I could have a protective layer like varnishing.
User group
Student
Highschool or university students will suit this product, as they have more paperwork and exams coming up. Some use files, paper, books and might need an organizer
Teachers/professors
Anyone in a leading profession could use this product to keep their handouts organised for each lesson. They can use it to store students progress charts in this.
Ergonomics
Curved edges
The edges of the rectangles (A4 and A3) will be sandpapered to a curved shape, therefore it'll be easier for the customer to move it around without getting hurt
Slots
The pieces of wood will have slots to slide through so the customer will be able to pull the wood out to get their paperwork easily. I will use a housing joint to make this possible.
Finishes
Veneer
Veneering the product will act as a decorative part to this product. It will be placed on top of my products to give it that polished look.I will need strong adhesive to apply the veneer.
Varnish
If however, my school does not provide veneering to the IGCSE students, varnishing will be another way around the problem. This will gloss my product and doesn't contain any coloring.
