 Evaluation 

  

  I decided to make a T.V unit because I needed some-where to put my electrical gadgets in my room, otherwise they would get damaged. 

    My aim was mainly to make a durable, well constructed T.V unit. Which would help keep my room a lot tidier because I would have somewhere to keep my electrical gadgets. It was only designed suitable for living room and bedroom use to blend in with its surroundings. I would like it to be imaginative and creative in its design and appeal to all ages. Also my am was to keep the guidelines of my specification. 

 Checking my T.V unit against the  

 Specification 

 1.The TV unit is to hold certain items such as my playstation, the DVD player, the TV, remote , controllers, cd’s and probably other items is well. The whole point of designing a TV unit is to keep electrical gadgets to make my bedroom or living room tidier and to make sure it does not get damaged. My T.V unit has plenty of space to look after these electrical gadgets. The adjustable shelves will help if I needed to buy bigger electrical equipment which will be bigger than that I already own. 

 2. The TV unit is to be made of substantially of MDF. The reason why is because it is cheap, durable, easy to paint, solid and has a good quality feel to it. It routs well and the edges are smooth. 

 3. The T.V unit was to be a marketable product and batch produced. It could come In a easy to assemble flat pack so I can manoeuvre more, because of the templates and wood materials used it would be easy to produce a T.V unit In small batches or large quantities. I  could screw or dowel the joints together, it would be easier to assemble. The paint would be sprayed on. 

 4. The T.V unit has been painted to make it easier to clean. This is a vital point because electrical appliances can attract a lot of dust and will have to be regularly cleaned. I chose the colour to be chocolate brown because it will then blend in with the rest of the room.  

 5. The T.V unit is to compliment the existing furniture in my bedroom. I am  glad I painted it chocolate brown because it goes with the furniture and the walls. 

  
 6. It was supposed to have room for cables, plugs and surge protection leads so I made sure by making a good standard size T.V unit to fit all of this in. 

  

 I thought my use of resources was very good. the cabinet components are economically cut from a standard MDF board. 
  The hardest bit of the project would be the painting, trying to make a brush flow smooth but after it came out excellent. All the points on my specification were satisfied thus completing what I had set out to do. 
 The T.V unit work well. It holds all the electrical equipment and holds other things e.g. magazines, books and games cases. If I had redone the project I would have designed it so it was lighter, more compact and yet spacier. 

 My production plan was very affective as a general guideline in making the T.V unit. I have put caster underneath for easier move ability, instead of lifting it, which is very heavy. I try to keep  a project diary and by referring back to it feels that the plan worked well if it were used a guideline for mass production it would have to alter to include lore machine tools. 

  The questionnaire worked very well with the public it help me make up my mind up on what paint would go with what wood and what they would like to have when thy go to buy a T.V unit. 
  The model I produced  again worked well I knew what problems to look out for and they were how to join the outer shelf to the middle shelf, dowel was eventually done, so when the came I knew how put them together to make it a quicker and easier way to assemble. 

 In conclusion I couldn’t  be happier with my project and it has done what I was intending it to do, I would like to say how much referring to a questionnaire help me make my T.V unit easier to design.   

  My design is a marketable product: it can be batch or massed-produced. People would buy this T.V unit because it has plenty of storage space to keep electrical equipment, its cheap, durable and has adjustable shelves, it has been admired by lots of people. “the extra storage is very useful” was one example of my T.V unit. Having this T.V unit in my bedroom will make my room look more respectable. Tidy and well organized. I will gain from this n later life.
