Design Bridge: Week 3

Survey Results





Reflecting on a range of opinions, we have decided to emphasise on our main values that were supported and approved by the people that took part. So we have narrowed down and refined our product proposal:
  • Product name: 'Taboo'. "Taboo is considered as the unspeakable and uncomfortable, however today there are so many different people within society, we should celebrate taboo. Nothing is wrong.
  • Three products; SCRUB, MOISTURISER, MASK
  • Three colours; Turquoise, Orange, Yellow with black and white packaging
  • Environmentally friendly and ethical; re-fillable jars, packaging that can be recycled and no animal testing involved
  • Mass marketed to ALL GENDERS
Shopping for prototypes

We went on a shopping trip to hunt for suitable containers to create physical mockups for our products. After about a three-mile round trip through around Leeds, we eventually decided on three 'mason-jar' glass containers bought from Class Ohlson. Mason jars are currently really trendy, and would fit in with our 're-fill' policy as they are hard-wearing, sustainable and aesthetically pleasing as a bonus.

Design process

Amber and I have been busy designing some tiled leaf patterns and have come up with a few designs to put forward for discussion, as well as Rowan and Tom producing some logo designs. At the moment we are thinking about producing three boxes for our products with the tiled pattern inside, and a simplistic logo for the outside.

Reflection/Productivity Plan

This week has been really exciting! Everything is coming together really well, although there is still a lot to do we are at a good stage in the whole process. The next few weeks will just be a matter of continuing to refine our designs and logos as well as producing the final products and mockups. 

For next week, we aim to:
  • Produce digital patterns
  • Start producing mock-ups
  • Book print and photography slots 
  • Continue working hard!
