Question 4.2 PROTOTYPING For for concept drawings, please go to: http://suesdesignofartifactsisociety.weebly.com/week-3.html
Prototype for Concept D: "IT'S IN THE BAG"
Prototype for Concept F: "VISA"
Please note that earlier concepts did not use a yellow ring (from an electric tooth brush personalizing identifier ring.) During exercise 3.3, I became aware of the importance of securing the 3.5 mm ear bud plug. So in this iteration, I added a way to keep the plug stable. I am now thinking of spray painting the dead credit card to help it be more easily identified the backpack or bag.

Prototype for Concept I: "BLOX" now "Rubber Buddy"
When I tried to purchase some plastic baby blocks to modify to make my prototype, I was unable to find any such item although I went to several well-stocked stores. Hence, I altered my concept to a different artifact with similar characteristics: a plastic toy large enough to hold a set of ear-buds inside, and flexible enough so that I can create an opening in the cavity using a utility knife. Besides the similarities to the other toy, this rubber ducky has a larger WOW factor, and is more brightly colored, another user need. Please note the yellow ring stabilizes the ear-buds to prevent tangles, while the plug inserted from the inside through the air-vent assures no tangles.
This Concept name is now "Rubber Buddy". Please watch the slide show below to understand how "Rubber Buddy" works.
