week 1

Scott's comment. I think either bee keeping has big limitations such as parents worried about their children getting stung, i think putting in the outer less dense places such as parramatta. He also said the plant swapping was a good idea although the product should be a way to document the plants to others and take photos.

Oun: I like the idea of plant sharing
Kevin: I like the idea of plant sharing, i think you could consider more of the problems involved

Concepts

Concept 1: Tilt motion causes kibbles to fall into into different levels and delivery accurate portions. A base opening may also mean no dog food bowl required.

Concept2: First used as a handle then after use as a food bowl. In the lock position when being used as an handle and after as a pump. Lifting an internal base layer. Not sure if cardboard can be used.

Concept 3: Using a scoop with a long handle to retrieve food and pouring into bowl. The scoop has a second use as a ball thrower.

Week Three

 

This week i struggled to come up with the mechanism to work, and i realised that the material costs would be too high. 

Tutor Tom's comments:  I think we've realised that the foot mechanism wouldn't work without increasing cost. So now you've got to step back and look at another way to solve the problem. Shaking the box from an above height but making it so its design to dispense. A second use would also be great. So a handle 

Pam: I think your posters look great, easy to read and simple

Richard: I think your logo is appropriate. 

Reflection: This week was difficult, i was working on a mechanism that was too hard to reach. Looking at the problem seems like the only solution would have to use alot of material, thus a second use would be advise.

I have alot to work, by reworking the design and making easier for user to pour food but from an above height.
