Finalized Design Presentation Feedback

The feedback here is gathered from a recording I took after my presentation. I have not asked the lecturers if I can put the recording on here so to be safe I will only write notes.


  • I have a good understanding of the issues related to bringing the worm farm into the kitchen and the problems that need to be addressed with that
  • In my final presentation I need to talk to the model as I go
  • Don't talk about how the 'model' will be made
  • Make apparent that this is typically an outside product that I am bringing inside the house
  • My sketches are bad and not support my work. I will need to tidy up the line work and redo the drawings that will be used for my final presentation
  • Dimensions were not seen and are essential to the final presentation
  • I can look at making the worm tea come from only one side of the tray instead of both. A false foot can be added to keep the same shape and upright when placed on a surface
  • Side indents could be made wider and used as a proper hand hold
  • Look properly into real domestic kitchen sizes with dimensions to back up my sizes
For the final 3 weeks I still have quite alot to do. I like the idea about adding the false foot and restricting the area which the worm tea can come from. To show which side is the front I can add a logo to the front of the handle that will only show if the tray is in the correct way. They had no problem with the drawers and the method related to that so I do not have to do any work there. I can go to a kitchen studio and look at the dimensions for their benches. Seeing as I used the anthropometrics resource I see no reason why my dimensions will be different but the reinforcement will be useful for my design. Once I work out what I will put in my final presentation I can redo the relevant drawings so my drawing will not let down my work. Overall I am happy with what I got from the feedback and the project will only be off the rails for a couple of days while I tweak my designs to what I said above.

  • Redesign tray with the worm tea being forced to one side and a false foot on the other
  • Think of a name for my product to add to the handle
  • Get dimensions of existing benches from a kitchen studio to back up my own dimensions
  • Redo relevant drawings when I design my final presentation
