Final sketch book prints

The group votesd on the final design and this was the outcome. Oringally the images were going to be stenciled onto the books but there was too great a chance that it could do wrong and also it did not creat a professional finish.

Here are the final prints that have been done on self adhesive transparent acetate.

Product Development: Bags

After the initial idea for a product "bag", the next issue was what "type" of bag. We only ever considered doing a shoulder bag, as these are cheaper to produce and more likely to sell, as they are cheaper to produce and more likely to sell than, for example, a rucksack. Ideas for bag designs came from looking at examples of popular shoulder bags, such as Bloomingdales brown bags. During this process recyclable shopping bags, such as the increasingly popular hessian bags, such as fairtrade, eco-friendly bags for Jute. It was concluded that a canvas shoulder bag would be the best product for multiple uses such as an accessory bag/hand bag "thing" as well as a recyclable shopping bad. relvent images or the products, as well as some designs are included below.

Stenciling

Found this book in an Oxfam book shop, it wasnt second hand but an iteam they produce to help raise money. Within it I found some stencils that kind of appealed to me for this project.

I was thinking that stenciling might be one of the best ways to produce the front and back cover for the sketchbooks, as each one will be idential and quick to do.

Fiona's ideas and research

The sheep theme by itself doesnt help to produce an environment for the character to be within, also just having a sheep is plain looking and I think its missing something. The next logical step that relates to the YSP and also to our work is a nature theme, which is to some extant already included within out work.

Here are a few reseacrh images that include a style that I think fits perfecting and I think the look of buttrerflies and birds just adds a nice touch.

Product Development: Lunchboxes

It was felt that cardboard constructed lunchboxes were easier to product on demand, and contained more of an organic character, in keeping with the nature of the park, than plastic lunchboxes with a sticker on. We took the nets of popular cardboard boxes from fastfood restaurants, such as the happy meal box from MacDonalds or the boxes from KFC.

It was found that neither of the boxes could be produced at the same size without using a piece of card larger than A3. We felt that, whilst the KFC box was easier to produce from the net shape, the Happy Meal box is of more use in that it can be reclosed (as can the KFC box) but it also has a handle (which, in the final design, will require changing, as the current one is based round the Macdonalds logo), allowing it to be carried about easier.

Above are the scans of the net layout for each box, as well as a reproduction of the net, with red denoting fold lines and blue denoting cut lines.

Our Definition of Friendship

After much discussion debate and research we came up with the following definition of friendship:

The definition of friendship is the co-operative and supportive relationship between the sculpture park and its exclusive members.
