The document discusses three design problems. First, the chairs in hostel rooms are not designed for focus as their backs are tilted backwards. Second, the Redmi Note 3 phone is too slim, slippery, and lacks proper grip. Third, the bridges connecting parts of the third floor in Kapili Hostel disturb students in rooms and require going down and back up floors to cross, which is inconvenient.

2. 1. A Design Problem I faced
 The hostel room chairs-
 They are the ones used in marriage functions.
 Their back support is not designed to enhance
focus. Instead they are tilted backwards which
encourages resting posture.
 So the chair which plays a crucial role in
maintaining our posture is not delivering its
secondary purpose i.e. the attentive posture.

3. The Solution
 We should use proper chairs like those in our
library.
 They give the perfect balance between
comfort and attention.

4. 2. Problem from an Industry
 Design of RedMi Note 3
 Too Slim to have a grip. Slips when
clicking a photo.
 Texture of the phone is very smooth
making it harder to have proper grip
 Thus it cannot be used without a phone
cover
 Rubber covers are also not available.
Only shiny metal color covers
 They are again slippery when wet.

5. 3. Design problems around campus
 In Kapili Hostel –
 The Third floor is divided into four parts-
 They are separated by two bridges
 The bridge is attached to balcony of a room on both sides.
 But we cannot go through that bridge since it disturbs the student in
the room
 So we have to go down to second floor and again go up to the other
side on third floor which is very cumbersome.
