Software Workshop: Building a Net

Having decided on making an activity/sensory box filled with visual aids to ease stress, I gathered that the first step would be making said box. I attended a software workshop with Steve and he helped me to get all the dimensional parts right (I am useless at maths!) The important things that I needed to consider were:

• How big I want my box to be?-Roughly A4 sized?
• What kind of paper stock shall I print onto so that the box is durable
• The lid needing to be bigger so it slides on 'snug'
• Visible folds
• Will everything actually fit inside the box?

Nets and Mockup

Here are the base and lid nets with a half-sized mock up made with A4 paper. I am happy with the way that the box works, it is simple and effective and the finished product will be sturdy and decorated with relevant patterns.

From here I have been able to gain a sense of the actual physical products that I intend to produce, which has really motivated me to aspire to develop a really strong response. 

By the end of the week I aim to:

• Finalise everything that is going inside the box
• Make more mock-ups
• Start exploring colour and pattern
