Get Organised

The Design Brief!

You have been asked to create a design for a new Desk Organiser for Office Works . 

The Desk Organiser will be primarily wooden.  Office Works requires that the designs be based on organisers using a square tube made from two thin sides of sheet material (MDF, hardboard or plywood) and two pieces of pine as the main storage and organisation component. This is because these desk organisers are part of a range of products available at OfficeWorks that all have the same look or theme. 

In order to make it visually appealing and therefore marketable, a small amount of feature material, decals or splash of colour should be included. 

Your Organiser must store a range of items – that means more than just pens and pencils. Phones, USB sticks, lollies… you name it, and it could be an option!  You should take into account the various items you will store, and how to shape your organiser for best access.

The Organiser, as it will be regularly used, must be finished (that means, the sanding, painting, removal of sharp edges, etc.) extremely well and to a very high quality.  If they do not meet the required quality, they cannot be used comfortably.

You will follow the design process to investigate, design, create and evaluate your final product.

Each section will  be submitted and assessed individually, with an opportunity for improvement given, before a final assessment is completed.
