3D Design - Finalising Designs

In today's session, I've finalised my box design and tried out another material to see if it would work better then the cardboard that I had been recently been using. Tomorrow will be finishing everything off and coming up with a final product that will hopefully come out as a high-quality finalisation of everything I have done.

The first thing I did today was create another version of my triangle box but instead of using cardboard I used corrugated plastic so that I can say I have explored a range of materials that are on offer for use. Personally I dislike the corrugated plastic because its too tough to cut up and it doesn't have the look or feel that I want fro my final product, plus it's not eco-friendly in the slightest made from un-recyclable plastic. Another addition I have added to the box is the addition of a clear acetate window on the lid so that you can look inside the product before purchasing. I really like the idea of this window for the packaging because it gives the consumer a preview of the product in question before purchasing and it makes the packaging stand out a lot more due to visual flair and overall usefulness. Although I didn't take away a new material to use, I have found a little addition to my design idea that will, I hope, make an overall better final product at the end of this project.

At the second half of the lesson, I decided to create my final product my collating all my ideas and designs together to create some sort of conclusion. The only thing I started today was constructing the base with a few little additions at the bottom, so in theory that they can help keep the chocolates in position and to help them stand if being propped up sideways. That little addition will hopefully add to the stock-handler friendliness that my product's ethics are based on. Hopefully, everything will be finished by tomorrow and I can do a few more tests for my ealuation at the end for further reviewing and reflecting.
