Vessel Project

Vessel Reflective Questions:

• What is your design response to the brief?  

Designing an aesthetic yet simple conjoined salt and pepper jar.

• What is the context of your proposal?  

To make it easier for the user in finding cohesive seasoning, as well as lightning up the environment with an aesthetic aspect to it.

• Describe how you propose to interpret and explore SLIPCASTING in your work? 

Through the explanation on Day 4, I intend to integrate slip casting into my work by making 2 separate cylindrical moulds that differ in sizes. Where going through the process ill finalise them by manipulating their structures, as well as sticking them both onto one another to create the desired vessel for this project. Making slip casting my fundamental method in creating this piece throughout the vessel project.

• What is the function/purpose/concept of the proposed design options you have so far explored? What are the common themes? 

My design explores with the idea of a vessel being able to contain and conjoin salt and pepper. Where its able to serve a user both seasonings without the fuzz of having them separated.

• Who is the user? 

This product is for all age groups, being heavily focused on forgetful users, families and pet owners who feel a positive and stress free mood when coming across this decorative piece when dining either at home or in a restaurant.

• Are you satisfied with your piece? 
Overall im not satisfied with the outcome of this piece as I couldve made many improvements to it, this includes the ones mentioned by my peers and modulaters like my research and the model itself lacking on caps to make it properly function. On the other hand I enjoyed the experimentation that came along with it, as well as a new fresh start towards the field of product design, where what really matters is the exploration and improvements towards your past mistakes.
