Det här var en av mina första design kruser på universitetet där jag fick lära mig att designa åt andra och inte åt mig själv. Jag lärde mig att göra en persona att fokusera min design till, att skissa bättre, att skapa moodboards, att utforska kontext,
User persona
This project started with making a user persona that the product would be designed for. I think my user persona was very interesting and I had to work for a long time on how to get the fact that she uses a lot of garlic. She ended up loving garlic soup.
Moodboards
A number of mood boards were also made to bring out the feeling that the garlic press would convey. I wanted the feelings Organic, Durable and Simple to be evoked, these were also feelings that I thought suited my user persona.
First sketches
I hadn't sketched that much before, so it wasn't the best sketches, plus I did them on an iPad. I still managed to produce a number of concepts and managed to explain how they would work using arrows among other things. The concept I chose became Litchi.
Final koncept
I chose the Litchi concept because my user persona really loves garlic soup and wants a lot of garlic but can't stand and squeeze several onions, that's why it's such a big container. The name became lychee because I thought the press container looked like a lychee fruit. As feedback on this concept, I got that maybe pressing five cloves of garlic would be heavy, it wasn't something I had thought of at the time but just assumed they are all super strong. If I had redesigned this concept, it probably wouldn't look the same at all.
