EVALUATION

FUNCTION:
definition: Does the aretefact do what it was designed to do, or does it peform effectively and efficiently...
My desk lamp was designed to be able to do a number of things for instance: be able to stand up by itself or as simple as the led strip to be pointing in the correct direction so it does not shine in you face. In the end my project was designed very well as it checked of all of these criterias.


AESTHETCS:
definition: Very Subjective (is often subject to personal tastes and/ or fashions of the times.Relate sto colour, shape, proportion, texture and other visuals aspects of the artefacts
When i was designing my lamp i was mainly focusing on the aesthetic point of view. Because of this, My lamp had to be designed completly different to everyone elses. Instead of a wood and alluminium stand i used acrylic plastic, This was so i could bend it to whatever shape i wanted so it would look nice.
