Introduction about what is design, the first inventor of the pencil and the calculator

What is design???

Definition: Design is a drawing that shows us the function and shows us also the look or also the working building, garments and more other objects before it will be made from the particular material.

We can see the 3D design which will be shown from the form, organic and also geometric. It also has the function and has an aesthetically pleasing aspect we when we make the design we have to be careful as well on the ergonomics site where we have to show it on our design. Most of the design will also have a concept behind each design and also have a subject. When making a design you will necessary need the process so that you show that the design you've done can be done with the material. You have also to be careful about the material not each design will be suitable for all the materials. Most of all the design you make have to satisfy the customer and also the industrial aspect.  When making a design you also be in the category of creating something and being creative.

Design is a man-made.

KONRAD GESNER

Konrad Gesner is the designer that invented the pencil in 1565 which till these days the pencil is one of the most used writing tool. Konrad Gesner has made a sketch of the pencil which that helps us realize that design have to be sketches before it is made. In that days the pencil had to be replaced with the pen but the pen were much more expensive and also you can risk that the ink will ruin your work if it will leak or spill. The pencil is much more different because the graphite was used which is a material that the Greeks found to mark the objects. The material of the pencil is wood so you can carve the pencil and you can write with it nowadays we find sharpeners to sharp the pencil. The pencil has been incorporated in the artworks and also in design.

Comments: In those days they didn't have their life as easy as it is nowadays they had to try and invent the objects so that they can work, with the least things they had they invented the pencil. To sharpen the pencils they didn't have any sharpeners they had to carve it. But I still like the historical pencil it looks perfect. And as we can see there is the design and then he made the real object with the help of the design.

BLAISE PASCAL

Blaise Pascal was the first inventor of the calculators in the 1642. Pascal was the inventor of the digital calculator and also build it this all happened when he was 18 years old and was meant for helping his father to perform the tedious tax accounting. The digital calculator was named Pascal’s calculator of the Pascaline. He continued working in his design and made some improvements and built fifty Pascaline machines in total. The first Pascal calculator was only with 5 digits but by time he started improving and developed then to 6 digits and the to 8 digit versions.

The calculator that Pascal invented had a metal wheel dials were it will be turned to the appropriate number using the stylus the answer will be appearing on the top of the calculated in boxes. The material of this calculator was polished brass box with the dimensions of 350mm by 125mm by 75mm. It was also designed to be carried.  

Comments: It is impressive how he invented a calculator that makes the things as the calculators that we know nowadays. By time the calculators came electronic that it will work with batteries or with solar and are smaller than they were in the 1642. I like the fact that the brass calculator has a lot of details such as it was made by a metal wheel which it is impressive how it works. I think it might be not that comfortable to carry around and nowadays we find calculators on watches and also on mobiles.
