Role Mole


Design Process
I have brainstormed througn many designs for Role Mole situation. I thought the best way would be to keep the pair of glasses on Role Mole's body all the time when he's not wearing it. I mainly thought about keeping it on his arm, so he can always reach it easily. I made a pocket/glass case that is going to stay on his arm. I the top part is fixed and the bottom part used magnet to keep it tight on his arm.

Communication
Since it was an individual excercise, communication was not critical.

Problem Solving
The most important problem was to let Role Mole always know where his glass is, and the next challenging problem was to make it look chic. The idea to keep the glass on him all the time solves the first problem well, but my design does not solve the chic-ness very well.

Team Work
Since it was an individual excercise, there was no team work involved.

Self and Team Evaluation
My design was not a very chic design comparing to other designs by my classmates.

Knowledge About Rapid Prototyping Technologies
I wanted to get brown color fabric in making the glass pocket to match the Role Mole's body color, but I could not get it due to short time for preparation.
