First Research and Concept Presentation (5th August 2013)

Today is the first studio research and concept presentation, Here are the presentation i have presented.




Mar: The tutor suggested me to go with the Rice packaging concept as they are innovation opportunities that i can develop for this project. Another suggestion being made was for me to consider thin film stand up pouch packaging to minimize the use of materials and flat packed for disposal. 

Progress findings:
My finding is that 2 KG of rice is to serve up to 60kg of rice. It means that it is quite worth it to design a sort of plastic cap that can make the openings easily, since most of the packaging at the moment are hard to open and require scissors to open. Another observation that i found, they use tape to re-seal the packaging and i found it very inconvenient. So i am hoping to design a cap that is easy to open at the same can seal the packaging properly to protect the content of the rice. 

Peer comments: 

Antony Chen: The idea of a push button is good, however the concept shown for the rice packaging is actually gonna take lots of materials. you should consider how to minimize the materials at the same time make it easier to people to use. I like the band-aid concept, although maybe you can make the scroller bigger to make it easier for people to scroll. 

Clement Yoong: the band-aid concept is quite innovative, however you need to consider the hygiene issue regarding the use of cutter in the packaging. Maybe for improvement you can have a bigger scroller, Rice packaging is a better choice to pursue since there are not so many good rice packaging out there. However, the use of blow moulded plastic means more expensive manufacturing.
