01 Ideation

We never stopped designing. The following are just some of the pictures of us in the process of coming up with our player. Immediately below is a small sample of sketches for our logo.

Photos from our Ideation Session

We were constantly coming up with ideas! Throughout our process, we kept everything fun - we played with toys, we watched tv, we visited make-up stores... Some of our initial designs were modeled on items found in make-up stores, and in girls' purses - such as mascara wands, jewelry, and gum packets. We then pooled our sketches, and then worked out the designs that we liked best. From there we extracted the features that addressed the user needs, and put them into scenarios. From there, we did more design sessions to come up with our final physical form.
