Week 3 SDX placement

14th Feb- Following on from the 3 main ideas for fidget element for the necklace, I explored some options by expanding each idea to its simplest forms and then making it complicated again to play with the form more as shown in the examples below.

After this I highlighted the ideas I saw the most potential in and brought them forward to see how merging these 5 ideas would change the design solution.

From doing this I got more varied designs that expanded my thinking of how the final collection could look, seeing a running theme of circles popping up. I wanted to narrow down on which idea would be best so I made a table and set up the definitions for what would be ideal for the product.

1. Easy to make

2. Fidget variation

3. Appealing.

By doing this I could better understand which ideas where more practical to explore. then as shown above I’ve highlighted which ideas to take forward to prototyping.

Leading me to these 4 ideas, after a meeting with SDX I was told to cut this down to 3 for some prototyping. So I will try my hand at making F2-4 as these designs are more eye catching.
