Design principals

This module involved working in a group to design a pet product. In the group we decided on a bee hive to encourage more people to keep bees. We thought that it would be unusual and with bees dying out it would be a good thing to get more people to own bees.

The module included all of the design process, coming up the concept, the shape, materials etc. We thought of lots of different designs for the hive and tried to make them more desirable than the traditional shape so that people would be happier to have them in their garden.

Here are some sketches from my sketchbook for the shape of the hive.
