The treasuring time that i have created is a magnetic souvenir holder, the target market that i have chosen are teenagers who loves to travel the world.When teenagers travel the world their brought home souvenirs such as, for eg, fridge magnet, pictures, postcard. Being a teenagers my self i would not put those souvenirs on a fridge, my product are produced to remind us of the time that we had during our travel, its shaped as half a globe to once again enforce the good time they had throughout their travel.
The magnetic board can be used to placed post card, pictures, fridge magnets, pins and etc, The materials that i have chosen to create this product are acrylic plastic for the globe, MDF for the backing of the magnetic boards and a magnetic sheets.
I have also specifically chosen the colour of the acrylic to be pale white to represent and remind us of time, to me during my travel time catch us to me, time goes by quickly and comes in a blur so the colour white is suppose to represent the blur and the quickness of time during our travel and remind us to enjoy our journey more.

An explanation would be handy but i seem to recognize what you are trying to achieve. Good choice of material and finish but i have the feeling that a fridge does the magnets more justice. However, your interpretation of the brief does extend to a more of form over function mentality and does work to an extent. Good exploration of the brief.
I like the form and the concept of collecting things as you travel however I think the scale is very inadequate for people who love to travel. They may be going to 10 or 20 different locations where as your board would only hold 5 or so. still i think the idea behind it is good.
i like this design particularly because i do love to travel. the idea is also great because i usually dont buy magnets from other countries just cause i dont like to see them on my fridge but if i could use them on ur product as decoration it would be quite a new take on magnets! the only thing is that might need tweaking is the size of your board. maybe make a few different sizes for people who travel in different quantities?
hey ron,
great idea and great outcome i must say. would be very usefull i can see. very simplistic design makes it even more appealing to your target market. i could only add that maybe you could have considered using different colours for the layers, or different colours in general, but still great work all round.
