All the colours of the rainbow

Here are some logos which I have designed to go along with my pouches. At the moment I am unsure as to whether I will use these on the final design or not. The colours of the logos match the colours of the fabric for the linins of the pouches. These colours represent the recyclable materials that are to go in to each of them. These colours are the same as the colours of current recycling facilities. For example orange for plastic and blue for paper and cardboard.

Final materials arrive

Today was a very exciting day indeed as the materials to make my final product arrived! And boy are they pretty! I'm getting more excited now every day about the degree show especially now that I can get started making the final thing!

Photoshoot 2

Here are some more images from my second photoshoot with Stuart. I feel that these images were better than the first set of images because they included some recyclable materials in the pouch and also it puts the pictures into perspective. I think I may use one of these images for my final board for the degree show.

Fixing Prototypes

Above are some of the possible shapes of fixings that I am considering for my final concept. These would be fixed from the inside of the pouch and would stick out the back of the pouch and hook through the eyelets that are fixed on to the straps that hang down the back of the door. I personally like the oval shapes better and think that they would hold better with once they are through the eyelet. More information to come on the outcomes of these trials.

Change of Shape

After initial prototyping with cardboard the shapes that I was coming out with were tending to be rather boxy. I didn't like this as I feel that having a more box like form will make the container more bulbous and take up more room. One way we could alter this is to try and make the containers more streamlined and curvier shapes.

Polypropylene

I have been thinking about the materials that I could make these containers from and have come to the conclusion to possibly use polypropylene plastic 1mm sheets as it is rigid enough to hold a form and is waterproof and strong. It also comes available in an array of different colours too which would make the aesthetic what ever you wanted it t be.
