) What is the TED organization about?
the ted organization is to share information about the world like technology and things like that in the website.
2) What is the purpose of their website and how does the functionality of their site support that?
The purpose of the website is to spread new ideas and ways of thinking about technologically inclined, the entertainers and the designers. it shows lilttle videos about those subjects the videos are not that long like that people dont get bore of watching it becuase when they are to long it bores you. the new ideas that it gives you can apply them to alot of things.
3) As Engineers and Problem Solvers, which topic areas (the choices from the “Show talks related to:” section on the sidebar) are of most interest to us? Justify your answer
TECHNOLOGY – because the technology is something really important because it creates our future without us realizin. we are learning alot of new ways in our ingeniring class that will help us create some type of technology that will help develope a new thing for the future. technology also makes a object more apiling to people
DESIGN – in our ingeniring class we also care about how the design will look how the visual view will be. becuase if it doesnt have a good design the product will not look good.
SCIENCE- its also need it becuase we have to look at the science behine it and try to make it something better.
4 Michael Pawlyn Using Nature's Genius in Architecture, this video is really usefull because you use architecture and design elements in engineering and because its base in what we are learning.Eythor Bender demos human exoskeletons its not as usefull but for me it gives me ideas because we get to know the human sekeleton and how is base and how engineering has different stops as the human exoskeleton . Thomas Thwaits How I Built a Toaster -- he build a toaster from scratch and he use alot of design and this is a good video becuase it shows that we can do anytthing that we want if we have commitment.
5 This video provides the idea of creating one building that deposits its waste and on the wastes way to another building it would be turned into organic material and it will benefit the other building as well its really interesting becasue it will turn into organic material and it will not affect the earth. that way we can also save the enviorment in some way the design of this building its really interesting.
the way that everything is connected and how we can create a never ending cycle of life andalso how we can persive the worl and make it better it will be a never ending cycle.
6. i can help in multiple ways becuase this days you can help alot its not just about saying it and not doing it because you can search the web and find places and things to be frienddly to the enviorment by creating new designs and more building like this.

1) Primary Function
The primary function is to add staples into a paper or anything that you want some people use it to put things together that involves like cartboard.
2) How I Think It Works
A stapler works by using force to push a staple through the paper, then secure the pages together. It can be used for locking pages of a document together, or for tacking, when the stapler is opened up and used to staple items to a flat surface
the head and the base . Connected to the head is the magazine , which holds the staples. The head is connected to the base by a hangar , which is soldered in place. The pin at the back of the stapler allows the head to swing up and down to load staples or in some models open up completely for use.
the loading zone- The staples are loaded into the magazine so that the two points face towards the base of the stapler.
The spring -creates tension that pushes the staples toward the front of the stapler. When pressure is applied to the head of the stapler, the magazine pushes down on the paper, and a metal plate in the head of the stapler pushes the front staple down the magazine. The two points are forced into the paper, piercing the pages until they come into contact with the anvil.
There is a curved groove -in the anvil. The ends of the staple are forced into this groove, where the pressure forces them to bend. They bend inwards, creating a lock around the pages.
3) My Black Box Schema
4) Visible Mechanical Components
the two mechanical component is when you push it down and the staple comes and also when you add the staples into the stapler it pushes them to the front for when you press it down it can come out..
5) A Function That Cannot Be Identified
i dont think its hard to identified everything about the stapler becuase its a easy mechanically. the springs makes everything happen for me becuase they give it the force.

the stapler
Visual Analysis:
Rather than being flat, the form/shape- it has a the top going a lil up and the bottom flat for is easy when you have to stapler something and nothing can stand in the way for you can stapple your paper.
but staplers come in different sizes and shapes for easy to carry and take any were
The texture- its not that soft it doesnt even look like its soft i think it was designed to look and feel a little hard its also heavy not alot buts just enough
The emphasis- on both ends were design not to look at like becuase the back its insome way close but the front is open for you can put the paper and stapple it
color- its a black solid color but the stapler comes in different colors like red and blue and much more.
Functional Analysis:
The target audience it will be for students and teachers and also offices and businesses becuase its used to put papers together and for you keep your stuff in one place and not have it all over the place. it also can relate to people that like to be orgonased. this product can relate to alot of people and not just one type of people
every organize person needs it
its for anyone but its for those who want to keep things in just one place and to keep it organize. its also for students for they can staple there stuff and just keep it organize for they can go back and look at it when there is ab test
the stapler its easy to use becuase it was design to be easy to manage and the only thing you have to do is just press it down and have a paper in the top of the bottom surfice and just push it down and its done. its also easy to add the staples when you run out of them its also affordable for anyone can buy it. i also think that becuase they can come in different sizes and colors is more apealing to the people becuase they can choice from so many colors and the size of the stapler they want.

What themes from this speech resonate with our class? the theme that relates to our class is that we need more enginers because we are being left behine and other countrys are improving more then us. it also says that enginering is the next big thing that if we are looking for a career that we should start thinking about enginering becuase its something that will keep growing. i agree with him because its true i know we also need math and science but enginers are the ones that make our country better we dont really have people improving our country.
What technology sector did the president compare to the space program of the 60's? What is the comparison? he compered with space rise
and with studies that our nation is going through and tthe things that he is comparing is the the alternative energy and ways of improving thing making them better and also better for our economy.
What is the name of the new program that will replace No Child Left Behind? How do the programs compare?rase to the top is saying that no kid will not have the posibilitys to go to school because they have not money and things like that. i think is comparing that he wants all the kids to go to school becuase we are getting behine like in china they are really into the studys there students are really prepere and he wants us to also be prepere and not let anything stop us from being the best that we can be
Last semester we talked about the trapped coal miners in Chile. Why did the president conclude his speech with an example relating to that? i think he spoke about them becuase he is saying just like they were strong to survive we can also be strong american and fix everything that we are through because this times are not easy for no one but if they were strong to survive we can also be strong.
What's interesting about the President's chief speechwriter? What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?i think his job involves hard work and its also really interesting becuase he gets to work for the president he gets to listend to everything that he is saying hand to hand its not like us that we watch it in the tv. i see myslf also working in the medical field just like my sister we are planing to study almost the same thing but in alot of ways is our dream to be in the medical field is somethng that have always intest us.
Has this speech inspired you and if so how? it inspire me to be something in my life and to keep my dreams a life because he seems that he cares about the future of all of us he also seems that he cares were we in life and that he wants us to become something and to become better americans

the car of the future 2010 model
- i found my advertisement in the magasine fast company in the first page
-its being marketed for a better, smarter and more ingenious cars. it has exclusive features like a 40 gig nav/entertaining system, to the adaptive real-time suspension, to the 280-hp direcct injected v-6. its what others cars are not. it marketing for better cars and making people buy this car because is better then the other ones
-As a team, discuss each of the advertisements selected. Record both team members observations for the advertisement you've selected. Analyze the add using the following Message Analysis considerations:
both of the team members-leticia and lilia
messege content-leticia and i we think that the message of this image is of a better and more ificient car. the message is berry bold becuase its showing you a nice shine car that it looks so nice that it makes you wanna have it.leticia-the image of this car its really bold like lilia say because its not just another car thats what is trying to tell you.
size and shape-lilia- i think the size and the shape are just right because its two pages of the magassing its not just one like a cheap advetisment the size of the car is just right not to big or to small. not saying that when its only one page makes it bad but you dont really get to have a better image of the car.
leticia-i also think that the image its just right like lilia say its just the right lenght and the right color.to make it stand out.
both-we both agree that its just the right size and shape
readibility- letica- i think is easy to read and its not alot of text
lilia-i also think that its easy to read and its not to long that it makes you bore when you are reading it its just the right amouth o text that will keep you interested in the object and you also dont lose focuse
needs the audience - both- we both agree that its catchi becuase of the right use of color its not to bright but just having the red lights on the bad of a silver car it catches your eye.
use proven design and elements-both it does use the right elements and the right use of high and it also seems really hard to make in a computer. like when we make stuff in the computer its hard. it just make us wonder how many steps does it have.
- its important to identefy the trend becuase you have to see what people want it has to be apeling to others because if is not whats the point of putting it in the market. also for you can create new things in your design and make it to a more popular object. it will also help you know what new things you have to add and whats the new thing in the market for you can make a better and improve object
2. the humans play a big role because we determinatee if we like it or not just by seing how it looks and we also catecorased by like if the design is more in the clasie side or more in the outgoing side tings like that. we also determinate if the product will sale of not. we as humans we have become people that want new things and we are always looking for the next thing if we dont think that is the new big thing we will not buy it. i have also realize it also depends on the price becuase if is pricie people want it becuase it makes you look with money.
3. what type of graphic design they are into also. if its the type of peole your type of car will be apieling also i thing to what class of people you want to realite to.
4. what it the audience interested and also whats the new thing that everyone ones for you can create a much better product then the one they like. also you have to realize the price range what audience are you trying to go for the rich the middle class or the lower class it all depend in alot of things but the most important one is what is the new thing and what type of audience are you trying to go for.

5 Visual Design Principles
Balance
Rhythm
Emphasis
Unity
Proportion and Scales
Car
Visual Elements:
o color- cars come in different types of color that attract your eye for you can buy it.
o form/shape- cars come in different shapes like some are small and some are like trucks. also their cars that have been created to have a different shape from the others cars
o texture- the insided of a car sometimes is leder or just fabric.
map
0 Line- Longitude and latitude lines and state border lines
0 Color-there's a variety of different colors like blue and green, yellow to represent the parts of each country
0 Shape- all the different countrys have a different shape and form from us
0 Texture- you can see the mountains becaause of the bumps thats you see and in the water because their also mountains under water
0 Proportion- it helps to know how far they are from each other
tree
0 color- the different shades of green like ligth green and a darker green also the brown of the roots of the tree
0 lines- the diffeerent directions that the roots are going some are going around and some going down.
0 texture- the texture of the tree it might now be so soft but because their is green around it makes it a little softer then most of the trees
shoes
0 colors- shoes come in different types of color and shades.
0 lines- they have different types of lines some are vertical or diagnol and even horizontal becuase thats what make some shoes unique because of the style they have
0 shape and form- shoes have multiple shapes and forms
0 texture- the texture of some shoes are design to have a soft inside and some are just design to look good. the material that is use inside it has to do with what type of shoe you want.
flowers
0 color- flowers have different type of color and shades they are design that way to make your eye aware of them
0 texture- they are soft and you have to be gentle with them because they can break easy
0 nunity- the unity of the shades of color in one flower it makes it so beutiful that it makes your eye be atracted to it.

1) the challenge was to make a candy machine and to show 4 new types of shape for the candies and a machine that will last and that will be usefull.but in my opinion we made the machine cute and different from other types of candy machines.i work in this project with lilia vargas.
2) Why did you choose the design brief that you chose to work on?i choose this design because i think it is really fun and because i like teddy bears.but i think that the candy machine is a great design because it makes me think about a candy machine that i could use or even buy candy off.the teddy bear is really fun and it could be a great machine because 9 out of ten kids love teddy bears.
3) 1)the problem is to find a new candy machine that will be able to provide consumers with four different shapes of candy and also a machine that will be long and lasting.plus most of all will bring people to the company.in my poinbt of view the biggest problem was making a candy machine overall because i have never make one.2)well we come up with many ideas in the design such making it be plug in to the wall or making it move or even making it talk.but we ended up being realistic with a candy machine that willl last and wont be running out of energy and be braking down all the time.so we come out with the teddy bear machine because it doesnt need to be connected to anything and it will run in quaters and also it will last a while and it will bring people.the other idea we come up with was the square candy machine it starts big from the bottom and it gets smaller this machine is practicle too and it wont need enerygy or batteries every other day.
12} well we communicate our results by the brochure and also by the final design of the teddy bear.
4)1}this is the first candy machine that we design and it is very different from the other ones because has it keeps going out it increases in size and it could be very practicle for a candy store because iss different and it is out og the ordinary.
2}this is the second machine and has it keeps going up it gets smaller and smaller and in each section their is a shape of the different candys shapes we have come out with this candy machine could be really easy to use because you can push the shape of candy you want and it will realise it.plus it will last a long time because the base is ticker.
3}this is the third candy machine we come up with. i honestly could love a candy machine that is shape like a teddy bear and you dont really see a candy machine like this in any store. this machine could bring a lot of customers and by pressing on the shape thats how the shape of the candy will come out to be.
5) this metrix was out of 30 and the teddy bear got the highest point and also the square..and the upside downt one got the lowest that was below 18. we decided to choose the teddy bear because we think it could be a great atracction fot the company.
2) Why did you choose the design brief that you chose to work on?i choose this design because i think it is really fun and because i like teddy bears.but i think that the candy machine is a great design because it makes me think about a candy machine that i could use or even buy candy off.the teddy bear is really fun and it could be a great machine because 9 out of ten kids love teddy bears.

this is the brochure for our candy machine i work with leticia.
