Desk organizer

1. 

• For this project, we designed a desk organizer.
• Some constraints that we had with the desk organizer was that:
• We had to not let it attach to the desk.
•  It could not exceed a 6" depth, 12" width, and a 10" height.
• It must include a recessed area.
•  And a bent plastic part with a 3/4" thick base.
•  The last constraints was that it had to have hold six items and it had to have five different parts to it.
• We chose  the desk organizer because it seemed like the most fun and the most interesting, for this, we followed a series of steps:
•  For the first step, we defined the problem.
• For the second step we brainstormed some ideas.
•  For the third we came up with the best idea.
•  For the fourth, we used the constraints to help shape our desk organizer so that we knew what not to do.

For this desk organizer, which is called Captain Desk Organizer, it is the best one that we have. It maintains all of the requirements needed and is the best organized.

The above desk organizer, the rectangular desk organizer, does not have 5 different parts or a recessed area. It does maintain the needed size and it does not attach to the desk.

The above desk organizer, the square desk organizer, does not hold a minimum of 5 different parts and its base of more than 3/4" thick. It does meet all of the other standards though.

• For the matrix, desk #1 was the best desk organizer that we had. It held up all of the requirements needed and it got a perfect score of 30/30.
•  For the desk #2, it did not turn out as well as we wanted it to because all of the requirements weren't met. It only got a 14/30.
• Desk #3 was a little better than 2 because it mostly met the requirements except for a couple. It got a score of 21/30.

• This is our quality brochure for the desk organizer.
