Aesthetics: I find that my Eco-lamp is aesthetically pleasing. Aesthetics uses our senses and our responses to a certain object. It involves all of our senses. If something is aesthetically pleasing, it is 'pleasurable' and you like it.
A conception of what is artistically valid or beautiful, artistically beautiful or pleasing appearance. (pretty)

Ergonomics: I think my Eco-lamp is very ergonomic. It has nice, smooth curves on the base and this makes very comfortable to hold. Ergonomics is designed to minimize physical effort and discomfort, therefore maximize efficiency.

Function: The task for this term was to make a practical desk lamp with wood blocks and aluminium. The function of my lamp is to give light to my study area at home, I feel that I have succeeded in completing this task and fulfilling the function for which it is needed.

Economics: Economics is the design factors intended to maximise productivity by minimising operator fatigue and discomfort. It is also concerned with the production and consumption. I feel that my lamp used the materials to its benifit and almost nothing has gone to waste. I did not cut any of my aluminium like some others did. I used two blocks of wood for my base but had to throw away half a block. My base did not need half of one of the wood blocks. Other than this I think my lamp has very good economics.
