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
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 wellFor example, a tape can be mounted on the mock up to see if it fits well
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?
• 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.
Functionality Test• Test to see if the mock up works as intended.
• Mock up occupies a reasonable amount of space. Can be made smaller so it does not occupy too much of space on the work desk.
• The holding piece can be further rounded to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
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
