Project Two: Postal Presents


Skeleton Ribbed Transparent Purse






The target market for my purse was anyone from primary school year five and up. This is due to the fact that it does require some motor skills and can be challenging. It is meant to be functional and at the same time a fun activity to do.

Although the end product is a conventional purse shape, it is made interesting with the skeleton like ribs on the side, and the ribbon to ensure that coins do not fall out. Also, it is interesting as it is see through.

The material is a thin polypropylene so that it is easy to fold in the gaps and so that the material is not too sharp and can fit nicely in the pocket. Also it is not too brittle to snap.

Interesting design and well achieved the way of transformation from a 2d flat packed to a 3d purse with a rib-shaped tap. I think the target market is suitable and the material is proper for your final product. However, one thing I concern is the string. I haven’t actually seen your final product but through the picture, the purse string doesn't look strong enough. Otherwise well done :)

this is a certainly unique design, you have utilized a perfect method of tabs to hold the purse together, the colour and shape of the purse is suitable for the the target market which is kids. However I am concern about the materials here you have used thin PP, this could present a problem as your consumer are intended to put coins which can be quite heavy and thin PP might not be able to hold a weight and handle the everyday tear and wear of children usage..

cute design for little people, i like the method you used to turn it from 2D to 3D i.e. the tabs etc. the only cristisms i can think of is the durability of the purse and would the smaller coins fall out of the ribs??
