Postal presents - flower jewellry box
















This is a flower jewellry box which can be folded so that it is much more handy to carry and use.
The jwellry box is flower shaped and divded into 5 spaces to seperate different kinds of jewellry.
My idea is based on folding flowers. I treid to keep the shape of the flowers as it is for woman while maintaing the strength of the box. To use it just open it up and press the middle hard with your fingers and stick the plastic in the hole to secrue th whole thing and to divde the space into 5.

STORY OF STUFF - Annie Leonard

In this week's video, Annie Leonards shows us how whole design world is becoming more non- environmentlally friendly. She initially explains 5 steps of the linear system to show us how all the products we consume have bad influence for the environment. for example, polictics and supply demand in products could have a bad influence to the world we live in. Also we don't have enough resources and we watse too much. This reminded me how materials and resources are an important part of our every day life and also for our design process.

My opinion about design has changed by giving me an insight how the design of a product affects the world, and this linear cycle that we must develop to become a cyclic cycle. The problem with the cycle is that we are using up all our resources and destryong our earth. After watching this video, i realized that we should improve recycling and be more careful in material chosen when we are designing something.

We need many kind of ingredients to make food perfect including salt and pepper and sugar.
The old salt and pepper shakers were the glass bottle with metal cap types which looked boring and heavy. There was not much joy from using one.

My target is 20-30 aged woman who likes cooking and decorating the house.
She is someone who has a steady income and pretty rich.

The 4 cone shakers can be used just by twisting the lid little bit and shake slightly.
The shape of the product is 4-cone shape connected together and a handle is adjusted by a pin so that it swings slightly and releases te ingredients from the shakers.

















The colour is not too bright as the target market is a woman who has pretty much money.
This shakers is easy to hold and can contain different ingredients all at once and can use those at once. Aloso it can be used as a decoration for the kitchen.
The unique shape would bring a new 'thing' to the kitchen which would add some new colour to the table and would enrich the experience.
