Inspirations
There were several inspirations for my design and choice of material. I concentrated on sustainable materials while providing security for the eggs and choosing geometric forms to define a proper shape to the package at the same time having a fun blast of color, and the contrast between black and white.
Design Brainstorm
Once I had my inspirational materials and forms, I ideated designs by conducting a brainstorming activity among my friends and consider factors which affect the egg packaging like:
Safety of eggs.
Natural predators.
Loss of moisture and cleanliness.
Consumers must be able to see and buy since eggs are fresh produce.
Brainstorm Outcome
Sketches
After selecting the top three models from the brainstorming session, sketches of the models were drawn to understand the design outcome of the ideas.
Sketch Models
Using sketches, three different geometric, fun, and colorful drafts, models were developed using materials such as foam, paper, and jute.
Model 1
A see-through hexagonal-shaped model. This model uses a colorful fun inner element and a gray and white outer element.
Model 2
A cube-shaped design inspired by gift wraps. This model has a colorful exterior and on gray and white interior.
Model 3
A Pyramid inspired design. Where the egg is placed in the form of a mummy inside.
Observational research
After making the sketch model, I began to expand my study about my model by doing observational research. I observed and analyzed various interactions with my model to improvise my design.
