There have been alot of thoughts and changes made to my initial design project proposal.
Above all, this is my direction for now;
Objective: To DESIGN, EXPERIMENT & DOCUMENT on DIY PRODUCT/ FURNITURE DESIGN
To use CARDBOARD as the main material of the project and consider mixing/fusing other materials like cloth and plastics .etc as part of the modification process to the entire design
TO DESIGN
TO EXPERIMENT
TO DOCUMENT
&
TO SHARE DATABASE TO POTENTIAL CONSUMERS ***
Design Direction: to establish a relationship between the user and the final product (in terms of the making process .etc)(a unique and a more fun way of creating something that you need)
THE FINAL PRODUCT: It will be in a form of a catalog/book OR a pamphlet of a particular product OR a downloadable PDF visual instructions on OSS database
BUT*** if i were to share my designs for free, HOW do i earn from this project or HOW do i even ensure that my designs would not be duplicated for other people’s profits?
