The past few days, I have been working on trying to be more creative in my thinking and sketching. Whilst Bethan has been advising that we look at nature for our designs, I have only started properly looking at this idea recently… When I thought about it, it was quite simple, when something in the natural world feels threatened, it puffs itself out or makes itself bigger in some way. This made me think, what if a product could do this for a cyclist? In response to this I have sketched a variety of ideas of how a product could use this to allow a cyclist to be seen.
From parachutes to paniers, I feel that my concept sketches are actually coming along relatively well, I hope… I need only now finish refining these concepts and then create a decision matrix which I work through with my target market!
