(Two favorites are circled) (One design is for my friend)
These are the two feedback notes I found most helpful. In terms of logistics, something I want to remember from the feedback is being conscious about weighting and how much electronics I can feasibly pack into the speaker. In addition, using my time wisely to make sure I don't rush towards the end of the project will be important. The most common feedback I got was about the workload and how I would program the visualizers.
I think this is an excellent design to build because it incorporates a sleek look that I really like with technical information like a frequency analyzer and a gain visualizer through LEDS. It would have a really great placement on my desk in my study and would fit well near my computer. I am challenging my current skill set by planning additions to the speaker that I currently don't know how to code or design (such as a visual frequency analyzer), making sure I learn these skills during this unit.
My finaliazed idea is to create a speaker with an unconventional shape, where one end is diagonal with a side compartment for a sound visualizer. From this protoype, I learned what realistic dimensions I would use, because I had to scale my original idea quite a bit down for practicality and visuals. I think from this cardboard prototype, my design could use a couple cosmetic modifications that I didn't put on, such as outlinings and further embellishments if I have time.
