• Analyze arguments
• Ask and answer questions of clarification
and/or challenge, such as:
• Why?
• What is your main point?
• What do you mean by…?
• What would not be an example (though
close to being one)?
• How does that apply to this case
(describe a case, which might well
appear to be a counter example)?
• Judge the credibility of a source
• Observe, and judge observation reports
• Deduce, and judge deduction
• Induce, and judge induction
• Make and judge value judgments
• Be sensitive to the feelings, level
of knowledge, and degree of
sophistication of others

- The screw pencil
actually was very bad in its
function :
It is circular shaped it has
stopper made of weak rubber
can cut it easy, the pencil with
the long usage it became
softer an it makes the pencil
slides from my hand
- The pencil is totally
functional because :
It is triangular shaped which
is healthier, less pain, easy to
use, the pencil has wooden
bubbles which make it more
controllable and prevent slide
from hand.
For Good design:
When I think about the

-Multifunctional product.

Tape Measure
. Although, it is very usable around
the world and can have a lot of
debates, for me its functionality is
still eak and design not developed.
. They are supposed to measure
up to 5 meters, however you need
to have 2 more pairs of hand to
make sure you have the right
measurement on the wall or a
panel. It can only be useful when
measuring the height of a wall.
. This product also is considered as
not a safe product, the fast rolling
back often hurts the user’s fingers
having paper cuts, and the end of
the meter the metal edge -
Tupperware can opener
. At first glance this product
is a bit hard to understand,
but when
you understand from the
manual i did understand
that there cannot be any
added ergonomics or
signification to the
design.
. Less effort and error free
while opening the can.
. It opens horizontally rather
than vertically, cutting
around the
can, doesn’t cut metal. So
the can and the cap are
not sharp which is truly safe.
A real Mug
Cap is easy to
understand
Coaster at the bottom
Twist to lock and unlock
Plastic
Easy to get hurt
Breakable
Applying force will make the plastic
bend and therefore break easily as well
as making it difficult to
use.
Not easy to understand how it should be
used.
Putting more than one option to be used
in the same way will lead to injuries.

Sustainable - “of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource
so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged.”
Merriam-Webster
The Big Picture - Life Cycle Analysis
Products can be made from any number
of materials and components, each of
which has a broad set of environmental
impacts over their lifecycle, starting with the
extraction of raw materials from the ground
to the end of the product’s life.
Some materials or designs may
provide a reduction in one or more impact
areas, but an increase in other impact
areas.

27. Task Duration is two days,
Submission 21st
of June 2012.
Almost everywhere we turn, products are
presented as “environmentally friendly”,
“green”, or “sustainable”.
How do we cut through the green tape to
determine what really is a better choice?
Perhaps the first thing to do is to get a clear
understanding of a couple of terms:
Sustainable:
This word is frequently used
to
describe products, has a very specific meaning
and,
in almost every case, is misused.
28. Since the definition
of Sustainability is long-term
maintenance of responsibility,
which has environmental, social
and economic dimensions, then
the three bottom lines, which are
Planet,PeopleandProfithavetobe
considered in any Design Process.
That is why, from my perspective
as a designer, Sustainability is my
responsibility of not hurting the
environment, introducing a good
product to the market which is
fulfilling all its criteria and finally
pleaseingthe people who are
receiving this product. There is a
new movement called LOHAS:
LIFE STYLE OF HEALTH AND
SUSTAINABILITY, and its aim is to
follow the trend while considering
The cardboard
material is a simple and
easy configuration
which does not need
many tools for the
health in designing any new
sustainable product.
To conclude all, any
Designer who tends to produce
a sustainable product have to
consider all factors: the profit
returning to the company
producing the product, the
people he is offering it and the
environment which can be hurt
by wring use of materials or high
energy abuse while production.
This task was important
to put me back on track before
starting the Design process.
Nowadays it is crucial not to
neglect Sustainability in design
since our planet is hurt enough
and it is the right time to stop this
action before it gets worse.
reproduction. When you purchase
a new product, you get rid of the
container; Box. You do not think
even for a moment if it can be
exploited or not??
Idea of the project: It is the reuse
of the packaging cartoons.
Example1: Cardboard furniture is
an easy simple way and it is easy
to be developed by individuals.
Example 2: When you purchase
any small product ex. a frame. the
shape of the frame will be printed

29. What is Green?
“Sustainability”:
- Basic and global definition
- The first definition came to my
mind is:
ENDLESS REUSING
- Renewable Material needed
- Renewable Energy
- Ecology
- Maximum Reusable design
- Evoke Personal Reuse
My Opinion toward the tasks
* Why SUSTAINABlE in this
workshop is it related to Mobica!
* Sustainable topic can open
multi use direction which is
effective with mobica
* Expecting New ideas for the
task but the task is look big
or may be the expectation
is high, it should be more less
designing process and more
conceptual
We are invited to know
more about sustainablility. Since
“sustainable design” is the new
trend in the world of design.
Objects are luming to be smaller in
many ways. Stages of the product
“the life cycle” is lacking much
more dimensions than they used
to. From the first idea of it till the
end user display.
Multifunction, energy
efficiency, material conservation...
Hence I found a concept of
integration, interesting to me.
Going back to the most basic
shape “the box” multifunction
items came out.

low or no energy.

“why change the whole room
when all you need to change only
a part”
Themosticonicpartofabedroom
is the BED , and the part that caries
most of the design and look is the
back, it’s the part most subjected

changes.
Prose: can work as a storing place,

ligo add a module for extra height,
extend edges for bed, shelves in
the back), and can totally change
it’s look with very little adjustments
you can DIY, the back can be
hanged over, stretched through
or slide in, sides could be shelves
when you’re totally done with the
bed, can be packed in a very
narrow box .

composition will not be competing for
attention.
• The key theme will be communicated
more clearly.
• The design will evoke a sense of
completeness and organization.

52. NADA KABIL
The Design brief was very complicated and it was
annoying that we threw it away after we spent so
much time trying to understand it.
Working in group was a great benefit, especially
how we managed to combine very different
people to create something that everyone was
interested in.
When designing for a playground i found myself
visualizing what would make me want to play and
what would get me excited, so that if i didnt get
bored of it, then most probably many people would
find it exciting too.

Most of technical designer
have to work with pressure and
do a lot of hard works to realize
the product and complete the
design process (shop drawings,
prototypes, manufacturing
follow up and so on...), their
days are crowded by a lot of
things.... the workspace for
them is also crowded.
