 | The aesthetic construct and design cues does reflect Harley's brand value with additions of logo and brand placement on the actual product, but more detailing such as mesh grills on the speaker cover and the development of the console can further improve the devise in another iteration Manufacturing of the Mp3 dock seems horrid on the ecologic perspective. Due to the energy consumption to produce and manufacture aluminum die cast parts. It might be better to manufacture the frame from strong plastic but it will inevitably deviate from Harley's implicit ideals. The audio port that is position on the back of the devise should be replaced to the front console for easier access. This requires additional tech packs or redesign of the interface mother board to include an audio jack port. The remote control could use more development and readjustment of the interface. A play of materials and processes such a solid aluminum machining like the ones used by Apple on their Apple TV devices would up the value of the product. I was happy with the end result of the design development and hope to learn more about audio acoustic to improve on my speaker cylinder chamber concept. |
