Green Products Research Project
Assignment
The main purpose of this project was to practice product research and need-finding by conducting online surveys, personal interviews, etc. We were instructed to begin our research broadly, without predetermining problems on our own but rather identifying them through the gathered data. Deliverables included a summary of our research as well as a final prototype of the product/system that addresses the identified problem. Initial Research
"Idea-barfing" via Post-its
Some of the 20 initial ideas produced where one idea would eventually be selected through a class vote.
Rough sketches of three different versions of the idea most voted on.
Prototypes
These prototypes are very rough without ergonomics or appropriate materials taken into consideration. (In fact, when a whole container of detergent was poured into the water-tight detergent prototype below, it eventually burst and flooded my desk). They were created to simply demonstrate the concept of collapsible, transparent packaging that could potentially be applied to all existing bulky products.
Thank you.
