In context

Examples of my product being used. Ideally I would've liked to have photographs of actual children using them, but because I don't know any locally and not feeling comfortable asking parents to take photo's of their children using it, I decided to just have a pair of hands demonstrating the use of the product.

Packaged

The packaging for my final product is complete.

Final Product

The final pencil case and it's contents.

Inside - Sticker sheet, Illustrated story, Sharpener, Pencil, Ruler and Eraser

I'm pretty pleased with how the prototype has turned out. Using the vinyl cutter for the stickers was pretty exciting and adds precision that I couldn't have achieved by hand.

Second Mock Up

The second mock up, here the stickers have been printed properly so the colours are much better. Also I've changed the distance between the fan and MicroMike. I also changed the design on the sharpener so that the sticker was inside. However due to the *frosted* appearance of the plastic the design doesn't successfully show through.

First Mock Up

Here is my first attempt at branding the stationery. I used transparent sticker paper to print the illustrations. I wanted to test how the designs would work on the objects and test how successful colour was on the transparent stock.
