The brief for this product was to design a user interface for a medical based mobile application targeting diverse users. I chose to target users with mild cognitive impairments, who may experience confusion or forgetfulness.
To combat this issue, users are asked to select a specific purpose upon opening the application. This task is then displayed at the top of the screen whilst navigating the app to serve as an immediate reminder at a glance.
For this project, I was tasked with selecting from a list of common household archetypes, identifying reasons they were commonly discarded, and redesign that item to circumvent those issues.
I chose to redesign the coat hanger and attempted to tackle three areas for end of life use, breakages, suitability & emotional value.
My redesigned hanger removes the need for hanging clips, allowed higher hanging for longer garments, and was 100% constructed out of recycled and upcycled materials.
Wooden hangers are seen to hold more value, both in terms of durability and aesthetic.
As inspiration for this project, I was to select a modern designer, immerse myself in their work, and design a set of Virtual Reality handset controllers that encapsulates their aesthetic and essence.
I chose Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen as her uniquely creative approach to fusing technology and fashion drew me in. I deeply admire her use of unconventional materials in experimental and artistic ways, and attempted to replicate that echelon of creativity.
