MULTI-FUNCTIONAL DRAFTING TABLE WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC SILKSCREEN PROCESSING

Abstract: The main thrust of the study was to test the functionality and performance of the Multi-Functional Drafting Table with Photographic Silkscreen Processing on its design, aesthetics, materials used, ergonomics, safety and cost. The researcher used the experimental method to conduct the study. There were ninety-nine (99) respondents from BS Architecture and BS Fine Arts students of University of Bohol, BS Industrial Design students of Bohol Island State University and instructors. Based on the findings, the description of Multi-Functional Drafting Table with Photographic Silkscreen Processing in terms of preparations, designs, materials and cost, procedures parts and function is more effective, acceptable and convenient to use. It shows that as a drawing table, the maximum tilt angle is 60 degrees and above. However, when it is tilted to 15 degrees, it is observed that the table top has the possibility to go back to its original position. The researcher used five (5) kilos, the estimated kilos of drawing materials and possible weight of user’s arm extended to the table. When it is used as painting or easel table, it was observed that it can hold 30”x60” canvass up to 25 kilos. Based on the result of the study, the researcher concluded that the Multi-Functional Drafting Table with Photographic Silkscreen Processing is very well accepted as a drafting table which effectively provides the function of the product.
