1. Define the term 'ergonomic', and list some different ways (at least 5) that an Mp3 player could be

    'ergonomic'  

    Ergonomics is the science of designing a job or workplace to fit a worker.

    The Mp3 player is designed to suite different kinds of people; teenager,adult etc.

    Designed to fit in a certain place; bag, pocket.

    Made a suitable size,color or shape for a specific person e.g. GC student 

    Designed for a specific reason e.g. for school 

    Built not to be seen by anyone else e.g. teachers    

    

2.Conduct some background research into currently existing Mp3 player designs - put at least 10

   pictures into your blog page.

   A digital audio player, usually referred to as an MP3 player, is a consumer electronic device that has

  the primary function of storing, organizing and playing audio files.Some DAPs are also referred to as

  portable media players as they have image-viewing and/or video-playing support

 

 

3. On paper sketch three different ideas. Get some feedback from the other students in the class, and

    explain which sketch you have chosen, and why.

4. Find the google sketchup program in your computer, and start playing! You need to make a 3D 

    image of your design, to scale - so leave the person in!   

5. When you have finished your design take screen shots of the different views, and post them into the

    page in your blog. Make sure you also save the sketchup file in the right place in your documents.
