Rubric Matrix

Design Appreciation


I think the two designs above and at the right side are bad designs as:


1. The gun's barrel is pointed backwards so when the user pulls the trigger, he kills himself instead of his intended target.


2. People urinating into the mouth-shaped urinal most probably will not miss but using the shape of a mouth is not appropriate.

On the other hand, the two designs here are well designed as:


1. The mouse is small and portable, making it easy to be carried around for business trips or leisure trips and even for office or home use.


2. The socket with a wire holder enables its user to keep wires near the socket neatly without having to worry about the mess the wires will usually cause.
