LOCKER DESIGN

Client: Mr. Mueller

Target Consumer: High school students

Designer: Philip & Team

Problem Statement:
School lockers are a mess. Students can never find a pen, pencil, or calculator, and their homework is always getting lost. Those who bring their lunch to school often find their food crushed under a sea of books and binders. Because of the clutter, it is often hard for students to close their locker doors completely.

Design Statement/Criteria:
  • Design a high school locker organization system to satisfy Mr. Mueller's need, and that will neatly contain items commonly used and kept in school.

Constraints:
  • Design must fit within your school locker.
  • Easy to install.
  • Must hold 20 lbs of books and binders.
  • No flammable materials.

Process:
Break into your 2 person teams to collaborate with a partner on this project. Work with them to investigate the physical constraints of our CHS lockers.

Design Phase
  • Identify the Problem: Find a solution for disorganized school lockers
  • Investigate the CHS lockers
  • Brainstorm Solutions
  • Sketch Three Possible Solutions (include labels and important dimensions)
SKETCH #1:SKETCH #2SKETCH #3


  • Select an Approach (justify selection with specifics): I chose cardboard dipped in flame retardant because the design was the most simple, uses the least expensive materials and is more environmentally friendly than plastic. This design was chosen as a blend of my other ideas and contains the best parts of many ideas.
