Sound System Design Portfolio (pg7)

Research

1. I think the materials used in making this sound system are great for strength and durability because it is wood and a type of metal in the front. The wood would be great for amplifying the music. The balance of the features on the front isn't really good, I would probably make the volume control smaller and maybe instead of having the speaker at the top i'd put it on the front of the sound system and remove the dial that's on the front.
2. It might be possible to make with wood because we have wood at school but i don't really think we have metal so I would have to make the front out of something different, taking into consideration  the resources that we have.
3. This design would definitely work because of the materials used and how big the speaker is. I would just change a few things like put the speaker on the front and reduce the size of the volume controller but for this design it works well it just isn't how i'd place speakers and other components.


1. I think the pattern on this sound system is brilliant. I love the way it has an old retro type of look. The user friendliness of this sound system is good because it looks very easy to use but I don't really think the sound will be good because the enclosure of the speakers is small, so the therefore the speakers will be small and won't be powerful.
2. It will be difficult to make this because I don't think we have the resources to make this project at school and I need a speaker that will amplify well and have good bass.
3. I think it will work well for someone who doesn't need a powerful sound system, so for me this design won't work. I                                                                           just love the rubix cube idea.

1. I love this idea. The proportion and balance of the sound system is excellently done. The two speakers are in the middle next to each other and the handles on top are at equal distances apart so this makes it balanced. The size of the sound system enclosure is perfect. The size of the speakers, the handles all fit on this enclosure which is great. I absolutely love the case for the phone or device to be put in, I like the way it is on top of the enclosure so you can let your phone rest there while playing music and it won't get dirty. This sound system looks strong and durable because of the materials used to make it.
2. I can definitely make this at school because it uses wood and we have wood, its also a pretty easy shape to make and there will be lots of room for the amplifier and other components to go.
3. It will work well because there is two speakers and the sound system enclosure is made from wood, the wood will allow the music to absorb and let it amplify well, the phone is in a phone holder case so this will prevent you from putting your phone down on a wet surface or somewhere it can get dirty. For me, I would make the enclosure a little bit smaller so it can be portable but for this person it most probably works for them.
