Design Boards

For my design boards I thought it would be nessecery to include a board with vital information from the start of the project allowing people to understand what it was I set out to do and how I got on with accomplishing it.

I then included a board on design and development which shows where I first started out with the idea I wanted to take forward and how it progressed in stages to where it is on the final boards.

The rebrand and packaging was an interesting one to take into consideration as I had to show what the logo looked like before and what it is now to show the contrast between the two and how much stronger the new one is .

Digital distribution says what it is on the tin, It shows how Kleenex will be advertised using social networking as a tool for communication.

Finally the image in context, of what I produced as my final phsycal product and it stationed in a bathroom.

Edits

I tried a few edits to see what kind of effects I could get on the photo and wether or not it would look better as a plain photo or better photoshoped.

I think the sepia light makes the colours in a wrong contrast and sets the tone in a more erie kind of mood which does not link in very well with the idea.

The AV texture looks interesting in static but I think the colour is vital towards this final for it to work well.

Again as cool as the image is on photoshop in a drawn kind of filter it needs to be a phsycal out come.

Which is when I decided a slight bit of alteration on the product is all that was needed and in the end I think it looks really good like this and it gives the product an interesting kind of power.

Context

My final photographs are of the dispencer in the context of a bathroom, the arora from the lights box makes it the main priorty of attention in the room and is positioned in a place it cannot be ignored.

I took a few angled shots to see whch would look better for my final design board, I think this angle makes the machine look slightly odd and flat.

The problem with this photo is that no one would ever be looking at the machine like that unless they were being sick and I am pretty sure paying for tissues is the last thing they are thinking about unless there is no toilet roll about.

The final image is from the pee position. from a mans point of view looking down upon the machine as there is nothing else for him to look at, he takes in the information and has a drunken giggle to himself

Complete

The last thing that had to be done to my box after it had been painted was to install these light links I bought which were quite pricey then I had to drill a hole in the back after I put the light componants together and simply wire up the plug ready to introduce light to my project.

The perspex fitted nicely to the box and the box worked well as a bold piece however if I had the chance to do the project again I would do a number of things diffrently e.g. paint the box inside and give it as many layers as I could.

As you can see there is some bad painting on top where a lot of flys decided to commit suicide, the lumps on top is from where I picked them out.

Other than that the light box worked quite well and looked really good, if the 3D workshop wasn't so hectic I would of liked to produce the stickers and apply them to a 3D MDF mould to make the machine really pop.
