As a group on Thursday, we decided on the worst design out of the 12. We came up with the whisk that David brought. At some point we were laughing at poorly designed this whisk was. First off, it is metal and has rust all over it. This is terrible for when you want to actually use the whisk. Even just examining the object rust got everywhere. Secondly, the handle was so small that you could barely hold onto it. Also, there was no form to the handle just a straight metal bar. I thought that couldn’t be good for people with arthritis. Thirdly, when it comes to cleaning the actual whisk part it is very hard to get all the food out. Overall, we just came to the conclusion that this was definitely the worst designed object. So we started a web/map of how to make the design better and more helpful to the user. I found this very fun. Putting multiple minds together to come up with ideas was awesome. We created organized chaos on the paper. At one point we even came up with ideas of baby whisks and political figure whisks. However, in the end, we had some really great ideas.
