List of top Observation and design sensitivity Questions asked in CEED

Animation Design
Description: An animation film for 5 to 12-year-old children is in pre-production stage. The film is based on a 10-year-old girl Priya and her cat. This is a shot breakdown of a sequence from the film.

Shot Breakdown:

  • Shot 1: It was such a bright and beautiful day that 10-year-old Priya decided to play with her cat in the garden.
  • Shot 2: All of a sudden, the cat’s attention is diverted by a little bird singing on a tree.
  • Shot 3: The cat quickly climbed up the tree and walked stealthily on the branch on which the bird is perched.
  • Shot 4: Priya anxiously watched from below.
  • Shot 5: As the cat approached the bird, the branch broke and the bird flew away.
  • Shot 6: Shocked, Priya quickly ran to catch the falling cat.
  • Shot 7: Priya tripped and fell.
  • Shot 8: Terrified, she looked up to see that the falling cat thankfully landed on its feet.
  • Shot 9: Priya picked up the cat and scolded her.
  • Shot 10: She then gave the cat a warm hug. The cat meowed back to her with a big smile.

Part 1: Illustrate (create a storyboard) the above shots as a series of picture frames. You may use more than one frame per shot if you want to. Approximate shape of the frame is shown below.

(Storyboard Image Example can be placed here)

Evaluation Criteria:

  • Communication of the narrative through sequential pictures.
  • Shot composition and perspective.

Part 2: Model Sheets – Design the characters Priya, the cat, and the bird. Your drawings should depict the character so that it is a good reference for animation. It should also contain possible attitudes and expressions as may be needed by the film.

Evaluation Criteria:

  • Illustration skills and design of details in the character (keeping in mind that this will be used for animation).
  • Your style can be realistic or stylized.

Industrial Design Description: You are provided with a base (chassis) of 100 cm x 75 cm as indicated below. It has:

  • An inbuilt motor and battery-charger system
  • Capacity to carry maximum load of 200 kg (apart from its own weight)
  • A maximum speed limit of 5 km/hr

You are free to add other parts and accessories to it in order to make it a complete and stable product.

Part A: Using this platform, imagine and sketch 3 ideas for its use in a hospital environment.

Part B: Further, develop one idea as a concept for actual implementation and:

  • List down 10 critical factors you will consider in your design.
  • Sketch and explain your concept for its functional details, features, and usage.
  • Suggest/indicate the materials and processes to manufacture the product.
  • Write a brief note explaining the concept and list the design decisions taken.

Evaluation criteria:

  • Critical thinking, identification of user needs and understanding of the context
  • Problem solving and appropriateness of the solution
  • Ability to explain details and features, sketching, presentation, and articulation
  • Knowledge of materials and processes

Communication Design
Description:
Shaaradapur is an Indian village. It has a multi-lingual, low-literate population. There is a lack of awareness on maintaining health and hygiene. This results in an outbreak of malaria. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease and its symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting and fatigue. If left untreated, malaria can be life-threatening. So it is important that timely diagnosis and treatment are done under a trained medical practitioner at the government hospital in the village. Malaria can be prevented with mosquito control measures like draining stagnant water and spraying insecticides. Mosquito bites could also be avoided by using mosquito nets and insect repellents.
Design Task:

Design a poster for villagers with the above information on malaria to be displayed prominently at a public place. This poster has to be specific to this village and should communicate:

(a) the seriousness,
(b) the symptoms,
(c) the actions to be taken and
(d) the prevention of malaria.

Select an ideal location in the village for this poster and:

(a) Sketch to illustrate how it will be displayed at the location.
(b) Write 5 sentences justifying your selection of the location, size, and strategy in the way it is displayed.

Evaluation Criteria:

Ability to understand the design brief
Clarity of thought, articulation, creativity, and presentation.
A union of three solids (a cylinder of diameter 20 units, a cuboid of side 20 units, and a triangular prism with base of the triangle 20 units and height 20 units) is shown below. Visualize the new solid formed by the intersection of these three solids in this arrangement. How many surfaces will the resultant solid have?
Shown below are two perspective views of a solid object. The pipe section has three identical cuts on its surface along with three identical flanges. How many surfaces are there?
Some cubes are missing from a 4 x 8 x 8 tightly packed structure made of alternating white and blue solid cubes as shown below. No cubes have been removed from the portion that is not visible. What is the total number of blue cubes in this structure?
The following text is from a single paragraph but the lines have got disarranged. Identify the order in which they should be arranged, for the paragraph to make complete sense. (i) All art and creativity spring from the conflict between the two, all spirituality wells up from that source. The search for that which transcends the material world then takes on a variety of forms.
(ii) Therefore, a certain degree of control over the human body, putting it through some tradition-bound regime of spiritual exercise, becomes an essential part of the realisation of that longing.
(iii) The dichotomy between the human body, made of perishable material, and human consciousness, which is apparently free to transcend the limits of space and time, has been one of the central forces that create cultural dynamics.
(iv) Sometimes it turns to the symbols of worship, at other times to devotion to human messengers of the eternal. But while symbols of eternity, human or otherwise, become the medium for spiritual yearning, the yearning itself is firmly located in the human body.
Shown below is a conventional brick bonding used in building construction. Identify the correct name of the bonding.
Shown below are three perspective views of the same solid object. Count the total number of surfaces in the object. Assume that the hidden surfaces are flat.
The 3D solid given below has edges of equal length of 16 cm. A rectangular hole of dimensions 4x3 cm and depth 2 cm is made in the centre of each face. Calculate the total surface area of the resulting solid in square cm.
A platonic solid has all faces congruent. Given below is one face of a platonic solid. Faces of this solid meet to create six vertices and twelve edges. Visualizing this solid, count the total number of triangles visible on all the faces.
The image shown on the left was sent to the printer with the addition of certain marks as shown on the right. Which of the term(s) is/are used to refer to these marks?
A bus starts its journey, goes towards north for 19 km, turns right and travels 7 km. Then it turns right again, travels 5 km, turns left to go another 13 km, after which it turns towards right at an angle of 45 degrees. If all the earlier turns were taken at right angles, what will be the final direction of the bus?

Given below is the intersection of a triangular prism with a cylinder. The sides of the isosceles triangle ABC are: AB=5 cm, AC=6 cm, BC=6 cm. The diameter of the cylinder is 5 cm, width is 2 cm, and the total length of the prism is 5.4 cm. Assume the cylinder face to be a dial of a clock, with D at its center. Imagine a lizard starts moving from F (which is the midpoint of AC), and travels along the solid surface to catch a fly sitting on the periphery of the dial at 2 O'clock position. The lizard takes straight paths FB, BD, DE, and proceeds along the periphery of the dial. What would be the full length traversed by the lizard?
