Object: Unidentified Non-Flying Object or Something
Observations:
Front view: The object is made up of metal, plastic, and glass. The glass part in the front appears circular, with a gray plastic recatngle behind it In the center of the glass circle is a hole ringed by a white circle and then both ringed by a white plastic hexagon. On either side of the gray rectangle are white plastic pieces. The pieces consist of a white rectangle closest to the gray piece, with what looks like a short fat screw extruding from it. Behind this structure is a larger black metal rectangle stained the color of blue pen on black. Sticking out of the left sude of this piece is a loose metal knob or handle half obscured by the white plastic screw above it.
Side view: The glass part in the front is a long cylinder with thick ends. There are cracks on both sides. On the end of the cylinder is a small white plastic bolt. This connects the glass piece to a gray rectangle. On the front face of the rectangle is a hole framed by a white plastic circle, which is framed by a hexagon of the same material. On the end of this is a dark metal piece shaped like a digital C. On the inside long wall of the C is a lighter metal panel that doesnt meet the inside corners of the C. Centering the panel is a metal structure similar in appearance to a bullet. On either side of the bullet are two small metal panels, and on the side of the bullet is a loose knob. On the panel on either side of the bullet structure are two small screws.
Back view: The main structure is a metal rectangle the color of blue ink on black. On the top and bottom sides is a thin border a slightly darker color. On the sides are two plastic white knobs.

Conclusions
1) This activity has made me understand that with visual analysis, attention to detail is important.
2) Now when I look at every object, I will look at every aspect of it.
3) Things in the natural world are designed better than human-designed objects (with the exceptions of the species that became extinct without the influence of humans-survival of the fittest), so humans should consider nature when designing new innovations.
4) If an object is designed to look simple and attractive, it will sell more easily than something with a more practical design.
5) The product I looked at is not visually appealing and in fact looks a bit like a murder weapon. I have no idea if it appeals to the target audience since I have no idea what it is. However, since it belongs to the school, it can be inferred that it does appeal to the target audience. Also, since I found it in a back closet, it very well could be a murder weapon, and in that case definitely appeals to the target audience.
6) A way to make it more viually appealing would be to paint it a nice color like maybe green or blue, and maybe give it softer edges to divert the murder-weapon feel.
