My Google Sketch-up Mac worktable



This is my Mac worktable. In the first scene, you have an overhead view, then I will bring you round the design to have a look. The 'drawer' on the right is for the mouse. I have created some borders to prevent the mouse from falling while the user is using it. The 'drawer' on the left is for the other necessary items, like stationery and also thumb-drives. As for the 'dent' in the worktable, it is for the Macbook/other laptops. There will be a flap to cover it and prevent it from falling out. The 'drawers' can also be slid in to make the worktable look like a normal laptop carrier.

1. Compare the two types of setup and state reasons why one of the setup is preferred.
Ans: The items used are useful and doesn't act as a hindrance as he is working, compared to the other one.

2. What are the area of considerations when designing a conducive and comfortable workplace?
Ans: Mobility, space, helpfulness

3. State the reasons why these considerations are important.
Ans: For mobility, a workplace has to have mobility as the worker will have to move around a bit and stretch once in a while to keep himself awake. For space, the worker will need to be able to keep a lot of his things on his table, but the worker will need to tidy up his workplace too. The inventions will also have to be helpful and not act as a hindrance so that the worker can work properly.
