Product complexity_01 copyrightWouldn‘t it be perfect if copying was simple? [ 3rd year ]

teamwork with andrea schöllgen and simone wittmann in cooperation with 01_high toner consumptionhigh rate of incorrect copiescomplex handling Puplic devices should be intuitive and easy to use.unclear interface Especially copying machines are often highly complex and hard to understand for non-experts.different user groups Our incentive was to develop a new copyingno place for storage machine with updated technologies and a simple form language which guides users with differentextensive service proficiencies through the copying process.

With its linear and structured body the copier „copyright“ guides the user step by step through the copying process. different user level focus on form language intuitive handling 01_ simplicity In using a 3 line CCD sensor scanner, there are positive economic improvements for the investor too. Uniting a simple form language with the latest technologies the copier enables easy and fast copying.

always 04_ changing wide range of products from function seperat areas/ functions: • dental care • personal hygiene • drugs • electronic equipment • Acessoires The bathroom is the area for body care. it is a living, ritualistic space and a room for healthiness too. It needs to adapt to different situations and fulfill various functions. My project is based on the problem of arrangingbathroom_ transforming the function from a utility room to a living room storage to make the bathroom to a living room.

graduation project_08 ironing kitHow could ironing look in the near future? [ final thesis project 5th year ]

short interview To get a feeling about the current mood of the people refering of their ironing approach I went out and did some short interviews and try to capture the spirit of the time basic tenor:“ I do not “ I use a dryer “ I need to iron “ I use it for “I like ironing!” “I ordered my “I always watchiron! “ that brings a lot, but it isn’t the handle iron online” TED, otherwise Almost eve enough stari- ness for me one of my favourit tasks... ” patch” it’s to boring” r dislikes iroybody ning 08_ spirit of the time warming up_almost everybody dislikes ironing

To get an overview and narrow down the range of areas I started doing a field research in different locations, finally focussing on the homesector. 08_ service hostel home laundromat hotelfield research_focussing on home sector

To find out how, who, what, where and why irons I did an extanded user research and created a form which I discussed with the different user of divers age and living situations. 08_ MAIKE EBERTS MM AND LILLI KA JAHRE AS RÖME R BOTH 24 MATTHI STUD ENTs NIEL K.

THE MAIN PROBLEMS ARE: • seperate storage • weight/ transport • placement/ positioning • cable length • (temperature/steam) settings • water refill • cooling/ heating 08_ Visually, ironboards don‘t fit in the living room context and the complex handling is time intensive andfazit research_main problems and potentials brings too much restrictions with it.
