Accessible Packaging Weekly Feedback - Week 3












Feedback:
My tutor (Tom): 
This design proposal could work and could be manufactured into a real product. The design of the contact lens holder should be further enhanced as the low vision user might have trouble to recognise which side of the lens basket is left or right. You should also play around with colours of the lens holder for better contrast and work on the lift tab design so that the user can spot and lift the correct basket easily. The suggested opening and closing mechanism should be confirmed and drawn out in detail within next week.


Classmates:
Adrian Poon: It's nice to see that the lens case can be joined together with the bottle. The labeling of this product is very important and should be well thought out so that users would know the important facts first.


Christine Liang: I can really see this product on the shelf. Dinsticive colours and textures could be added so that the packaging design can stand out even more from the rest.


Other Tutor:
Mar: It is important to consider whether a part of the product could be opened accidentally during transportation or if knocked over. Also make sure that the mechanism chosen actually works, not too costly, and suitable for that particular product and purpose.  


My Reflection:
1.) I need to work on the product's opening and closing mechanism, making sure that it works and how it will operated manually.
2.) Labeling design should be finalised next week. Important facts such as ingredient, expiry date, type of product, etc should be primary whereas branding, user instructions, etc should be secondary.
3.) Final materials, colours, break-lines, textures, etc are important aspects of this product and should be further refined.
4.) I should also work on the design of the lens holder so that low vision users would know how to identify, open and close it easily.
