Day 11

Today, in Design and Fabrication with Mr. Neale, we continued with the second project; the amplifier. In today's class we focused on working on the following slides: Inspiration, Existing Products, Research Plan, and Research Summary. We spent all class working on these slides for our portfolio for this project.

1. In the inspiration slide(s), we put in images of existing amp designs and shapes that we would like to incorporate into our amp to produce a clear sound. This allowed us to start thinking about what we wanted to include in our design, and what we wanted it to look like.





2. Then,  in the existing products slide, we compared two amplifier designs and explained what was good about them and what was not. This allowed us to see what qualities we wanted to include, and things we wanted to exclude from our designs. A tip for this slide is to put +'s and -'s for the points that are good and bad from each of the designs.





3. Next, we worked on the research plan slide. This slide allowed us to ask questions about what we wanted in our design, and how were we going to do it. We put around 4-7 questions in the slide, and add the reason for you asking that question.



4. Lastly, the final slide that we worked on in class was the research summary. In this slide, we answered the questions we asked ourselves in the previous design and got an idea about what we wanted in our design and why we wanted it a certain way.







Our homework is to finish these slides if you have not yet done so.
