Possible Ideas

I firstly wanted to start by doing a mind map on possible ideas I would want to take forward into the design process.

PACKAGING – Creating packaging for the pack for the minis, I was thinking black and white and having a primary colour as the accent to showcase important information for the minis as this is a good way to give contrast to pieces of work as it is quite contemporary.

MINIS PACK – I came up with the idea of creating a minis pack for younger children that will educate them even further on the effects on concussions, giving statistics and facts about concussion but creating this in a provocative way to ensure that this will draw them into looking at it and reading it.

RUGBY BOOTS – I thought about designing a pair of rugby boots that would have visuals that will appear on the boots when someone gets tackled wrong and start showing signs of concussion, this would then help officials see this and stop the game for players to get more help for a concussion but I personally feel like this wouldn’t work as I am not sure how I could show this in context and also it doesn’t really relate to concussions and MND as it doesn’t really relate to the head, so this idea will not be going forward to the design process.

SCRUM CAPS – Some players ranging at any age wear scrum caps, so I came up with the idea of scrum caps changing colours or displaying different patterns to show that a player has been knocked in the head and showing signs of concussion, I think this would work better than the boots as this would be easily seen amongst players and officials so this will ensure further safety measures are in place by having this as a possible idea.

CARDS – I had the idea of creating cards for the Minis pack which will have optical illusions on them to showcase symptoms such as double vision, headaches etc.

INSTALLATION PIECE – When thinking about Motor Neurone Disease and researching into this, I discovered that Motor Neurone Disease affects the brain which affects the nerves and cells in the brain, so thinking about this, I thought about having an installation piece that represents this by having a clear screen with colours that represent the brain and someone puts there hand on it and this then from the hand blackness spreads which represents the dying of the neurones and cells in the brain.

All the ides I have thought about, I will have to do further research on this to further gain knowledge on all these aspects and this will further help my ideation and design process as I can further explain how things will work as a whole which is beneficial to myself.
