Dogs Play Idea/Critic

Image
I created a dog toy which was a large sturdy machine that had multiple uses and was powered in such a way that dogs could play with it when their owners weren't home. I made it a cute machine which mimics other toys that dogs have. It ejects balls that dogs drop into it from either chute, as well as have housing for two small battery powered mice that the dogs can chase which return to their homes to recharge. It also has a tug-o-war rope at the back for the dogs to tug on as well as a cable to charge with. It was brought to my attention in the critic that the object itself was quite bulky and a bit of an eyesore for a normal home which isn't usually cutesy. Also the tug-o-war and the cable out the back could be confused and end badly. The plastic really needs to be dog proof and very sturdy as not not allow them to push it over. It needs to be waterproof and rechargeable to take away the cable from the back. Dogs also like to work for their food so that should be incorporate...

iFetch is a simple product which a dog drops a ball into the top and it shoots it out so that they dog can play fetch. It comes in three different sizes for different sized dogs, as well as different sized tennis balls for smaller dogs. It has a simple yet effective colour scheme of blue and white as well as the ascetic design is simple, sleek and rounded. https://doggiefetch.com  has a great review of many different fetch toys ranging from automatic ones like the iFetch to ones that are manual but increase the power and throw distance. I noticed that all of these had one thing in common, that they only had one function. So I wanted to expand on this design into have many functions.

Litter Market Idea/Critic

Image
I created a range of plastic, glass and metal containers as well as beeswax cloths for a supermarket that has no plastics of any kind. The supermarket is based around the idea that people buy these containers and then come into the store, filling them up as they go. Therefore there is no use of one-use plastics. To help this process along and it to become easier, there will be a card system which the user will swipe when gathering goods to place in these containers/bags, the card will keep track of how many objects taken or how much what is taken weights to make the final payment much faster and easier. The critic made me realise that this was not an effective way to express the full potential of my idea and I needed to find a different way to do so, hopefully something that shows the supermarket idea.
