The general structure of the notecards was firstly explored in order to gain a greater stance upon how the notecards themselves will be positioned within the set. A strong analysis was conducted upon the pros and cons of each mechanism, focusing upon the environment, durability and general aesthetic. From completing this activity it became evident that certain mechanisms were not suitable, and would not entice the audience to buy the product. First of all the slip attempt did not enclose the notecards and thus I believe that I would not get the same credit from the judges. The greyboard approach would not be suitable as I pride myself on being an environmental designer, and I believe this design to be environmentally harmful. Plastics were also removed from any packaging in relation to environmental issues. As a result of this I believe that the envelope approach would be most effective as it safety stores the product, is environmentally friendly and would appeal to a young audience.
From the original exercise further drawings were developed in which showcase the workings of the envelope. Measurements were considered alongside the measurements of the notecards. It was also highlighted that if envelopes for the notecards are involved the sizing of the design must be accurate in order to allow mass products to be contained within the larger envelope.
