Added Value-getting it on or trying to

I have had a few ideas for the added value brief now but I am worried that none of my second lives are far enough away from the first idea.Here are some examples

A PLA sprout container that turns into a sprouter-I like the idea of sprouts growing out of the plastic and eventually hiding it also the fact that you would be able to see them growing.I thought that if the container changed shape between stages then that would justify it…..

A box that contains photocopy paper that is indented with lines that enable it to be converted into various shapes for postage ie 2 sizes of boxes,2 sizes of pillow boxes, 1 large enevelope also instructional diagrams.

A shoe box stacking system that allows boxes to be joined together to form a storage system for your wardrobe-this dosen’t really excite me.

I am going to keep developing ideas this week and make a decision on thursday that will give me 2 weeks till the due date.
