My gap
Necessity is the mother of invention
Week -2
I would like to organize the recycling of litter at home without having many bags all around and without wasting a lot of space. I would like the recycling to be in one place and to know in which bag I should throw away each different kind of litter without giving much thought about it. I wish I could find a litter can divided in parts maybe in different colors and shapes, where I could put the litter bags for each type of litter. The shape of such a litter can could vary from column to pyramid depending if it will placed indoors or outdoors. Also I would like to be an aesthetic object that would rather add in the decoration of a kitchen or even of the yard or balcony. I hope that I will be able to design such a useful object with the elegance of a sculpture.
In what way might I...
Help to keep the planet clean from litters.
*Motivate also others to obtain ecological consciousness.
Help the members of my family do recycling not as an obligation but as a game
Improve the aesthetic of a useful object of everyday life use.
Will make the recycling process easier
Week -1
I always lose my phone charger, mixed up with the charger of my sister and there are many chargers in a house for many devices, every time I have to try the plug to see which is the one that I need to use and I wish to have a certain board where they will be hooked and named so to find easily and I started to play with the idea to find out that what I actually need is a board that will work as an organizer not only for the chargers but also for multipurpose use and I want it to be beautiful as a decoration also and not just an ugly board. And, this will be my project for the class this week.

My gaps (week one)
1) My friend Sonia loves to make homemade liqueurs and she faced a serious difficulty in her last effort to make pomegranates liqueur. After boiling the pomegranates together with alcohol and sugar then she wanted to squeeze them and extract the liquid without the seeds and the flesh of the fruit. She tried to use a potato squeezer but without result and in the end she squeezed it using her hands. She wished to have an appropriate tool for that purpose.
2) When I have been in Austria my friends have been jealous of the fridge magnets that we found in holidays, I asked why they don’t buy since they like them and they told me that they can’t put fridge magnets on the fridge because it has wooden exterior instead metal. They wished to be a way to decorate their fridge with such magnets.
3) My sister has 3 shoe cabinets and still most of her shoes are inside their boxes or all around the house because the capacity of the cabinets with the simple racks is not enough and she wished to have a cabinet with hooks instead of racks so to hang her shoes and increase the capacity of the cabinet or something like that.
4) I always lose my phone charger, mixed up with the charger of my sister and there are many chargers in a house for many devices, every time I have to try the plug to see which is the one that I need to use and I wish to have a certain board where they will be hooked and named so to find easily and I started to play with the idea to find out that what I actually need is a board that will work as an organizer not only for the chargers but also for multipurpose use and I want it to be beautiful as a decoration also and not just an ugly board. And, this will be my project for the class this week.
5) Inside my bag is always a mess and thinking about the phone charger I realized that I have lots of small objects inside my bag like two pairs of keys, lipsticks, pens, some USB sticks e.t.c. and I use many small bags to organize all this and in the end I can’t find what I want easily, plus that I may forget something when I change bag… I wish I had just one smaller bag divided into smaller parts where I could put each object separately (but not too big or made by hard material) a small and flexible bag organizer with many pockets this is what I wished for.
6) I would like to organize the recycling of litter at home without having many bags all around and without wasting a lot of space. I would like the recycling to be in one place and to know in which bag I should throw away each different kind of litter without giving much thought about it. I wish I could find a litter can divided in parts maybe in different colors where I could put the litter bags for each type of litter.
7) Now its summer and here in my country already very hot and I wish I had a way to keep my drink or coffee cool without ice cubes melting inside it and destroying the taste of my drink. I imagine something like a little cooling small plate to put the glass upon, to keep the drink cool.
8) I find always hard to clean the keyboard of my laptop and try various ways even to blow the dust with a hair dryer or to clean it using an ear cotton stick or even an old toothbrush. I wish there was such an object to help cleaning the electronic devices.
9) I have many CD ROM and many video tapes and CD’s with photographs and finally I don’t even know what I have stored. I wish there have been a preview technology to see the content without inserting them in the PC (I always say that I do it and I never will) so I wish for a kind of preview device.
10) My cousin wishes a dress for the house when she is doing household works, with many pockets to put everything she needs to do the cleaning.
