Sticky Dials...

So for the mini project, to design something for a specific OCD sufferer, i came up with the concept of sticky dials.



They would allow an 'even' or 'odd' numbered OCD sufferer to customize dials around the home and car. For example, washing machine, toaster, oven, microwave...etc.



I didnt want to create a new 'OCD friendly kettle' or toaster, but allow an OCD sufferer to customize existing products to suit their personal rituals. And because dials are so universal, or round, they would be easily customize-able!!



They would come in coloured rings, which would be sticky on one side and magnetic on the other. You would then stick the ring around the dial (where the pre-printed dial numbers are) and then use the magnetic numbers to customize the dial.



These could also be used by 'normal' people, for example i only ever use one setting on the washing machine...so they could be used to cover all the other options, which would allow me to only see the option that i use!

I will maybe make some mock ups of these and haul the photos up at some point...

Mini project...even numbers...

Taken a bit of a turn around...for the mini project ive changed it (after sue telling me to)...to re-look at my questionnaire results which i gathered in semseter one!

So ive chose the 8 key responses (in my opinion)...(shown below)

Then i chose the one which i found gave the most information to work from, that i found interesting and different... she is an ocd sufferer who has a 'thing' about even numbers.

So now that ive chose her, ive to produce two boards, one which shows her OCD and celebrates it, and one which shows my designed product in place...Ive done a draft board already shown below...

Watch this space for a Mood board/'Day in the life of' board...
