Production _ Smell .04

To each of the different sizes squares, I applied a thin black cotton material as the sponges were made up of multiple colours which wouldn’t have matched the layout and colour schemes of the box.

Applying cotton over the sponges didn’t make a difference to the amount of water added because that itself has a good water intake. I trying testing these on the boxes, sticking them down with masking tape to see how they would fit and if the lid of the box would fit correctly. It worked.

To glue these down I will apply UHU glue to the edge of the sponge as well as apply duck tape to keep the secure as possible.

They can now be glued to the box

Development of ideas

This past week I have been working on developing my ideas.

Alongside this, I have begun creating prototypes to help inform my initial ideas to help visualise how it may possibly look.

This visualisation was based on the aesthetics of the box to understand font size and proportions.

I then went on to create a new idea and prototyped it

Idea:

  • Each box will have a case study relating the area in London to back up its findings
  • The other faces of the box show recent data relating to the issue
  • The box will be clear with an item inside to contradict the data
  • The top of the box will have part of an outline of London which the user has to put together. This recognises how one issue can affect the city.

Rewards

To earn the rewards, students must complete tasks.

Once students have earned their tokens, they can select what reward they like.

As this is a school currency, it is not funded by the government. This means less money can be spent so I decided to create rewards that can be made within the school that has a very low or no cost at all.
