For this Postal assignment I've created a make up box designed for the target market of young girls aged between 8-10, during this period of time girls will reach the period where there estrogen kicks in and is more fascinated and more involve in making them self look more attractive for the opposite sex, so I've decided to design this portable make up which can be transform into a bag so the girls can easily move room to room carrying their makeup while also playing.

Also I have considered that between those ages girls are likely to be more messy, this product is designed to reduced stress for the parents by providing a storage for their make up accessories.

The product is made out of one cut out sheet of Polypropylene plastic and is shaped by scoring the plastic, I've used a mushroom tag which i have designed to lock the bag into place and to hold a heavy amount of strain and weight needed for the everyday uses of young children. The bag can be easily constructed due to the numbering sticker that have been placed on the bag, the tags is numbered 1-8 and is to be matched with the slots in order to fully construct the bag.

Pegman is a uniquely design peg, design to solve the problem that occur with the current peg design. When i was researching pegs i discovered 3 main problems with the current peg design.

  • The current size of the average pegs were too small, it continuously to bring problem to people with big hands and fingers.
  • Also its small size means they are easily lost an must be continuously replaced days after days.
  • Materials, there are 3 common materials used to manufacture peg. ( Metal, they rust easily) (Wood, easily weathered and attract mold) (molded plastic, soft and easy to break)
To solve this problem Ive devised a design that solved all of the 3 major problems, ive made the design of pegman bigger so it is easier to held and won't be lost easily.
ive also looked at some materials and decided to use plastic and stainless steel to avoid any brittleness and breakage.
