I loved the idea of Sol Lewitt's where art is an instruction guide, and how everyone can be an artist, but it's the creativity that makes artists special. Anyone can put paint on some paper, but the instructions are where the real creativity comes out. Sol Lewitt sold the art as instructions to different people and companies and made it as something you had to assemble and put together.

Keep your baby protected and shaded from the sun with the Muslin Canopy. Easily attached to most hooded prams, it's simple and quick to use, while the black muslin fabric helps create enough darkness for your baby to nap peacefully.

I really like this design because it is simple and comforting for the child. Problems arise, though, for the parent because the parent wants to see the child when they are walking along with the stroller, and this design makes it so that the parent's view of the child is obstructed. The black material also might freak out the child a little bit and black is usually absorbent in the sun, and might heat up the carriage rather than cool it down. I would maybe make the material of the canopy see through somehow and make the material lighter in colour so that it is more comfortable to rest in and to look at. I do like how it is clasped onto the carriage because it hooks onto both the handle and the top of the existing canopy on the stroller. The one thing is that the clips on the carriage come off easily and are a hazard of being lost. This idea, though, of one sheet going across the carriage is an interesting idea though.

The stroller bag by Dreambaby conveniently stores baby has essentials and shopping all in one place whilst out and about. With a wide opening at the top of the bag means you can access baby things easily. This large mesh storage bag fits most strollers, an essential item to take with you when taking trips out or shopping in town with baby. Easily clips onto most strollers and folds away for easy storage when not in use.

This design is very clever, because it attaches to the handlebar part of the stroller. This design doesn't allow for more storage than just minor trinkets, but those are the things that trip up a parent and are the things that are most easily lost. I like that the design is scrunched up at the top so that none of the items fall out. A problem with this design, though, is that when the parent has their hands on the handlebar, it is uncomfortable to hold because of the Velcro obstructing the hand's path on the handlebar. Maybe I could make the clasps on the side of the handlebar, where the hands aren't going to be.

This stroller cover doesn't give much protection against the sun but is good in rainy weather. What I like about this stroller cover is that the parents can see their child when they're stopped and maybe watching their other children or taking a rest. I will try to incorporate this into my design and make it so that the stroller cover is comfortable to sleep in and has holes in it or is see through so that the parent can see the child through the cover.

I was thinking of using the gingham material that I found in the library, but then I realized that it was too soft and flimsy to hold the basket that I wanted to put on the stroller shade. I decided on this hat material because it was pretty strong but also gave a comfortable feel when under the hat in the sun, but whilst also being protective.

Found this garden obelisk and I am trying to replicate this with my model. A sort of structure to guide the plants that grow.

This plant holder I found as I was looking through gardeners blogs (because then I get a good view of what products gardeners like and which ones they want improvement on). I saw this plant holder and thought about how it would go in a building or rural house where there isn't much space for a garden. Then I thought about how I could make a design like this retract and I thought that it would actually be really easy to retract if I just made the pot part of the stairs go into each other. This would make the design easy to fold up if the owner needs space in their apartment. And it could maybe be converted into maybe a wall decoration or something after it is used as a garden.

This revolutionary balcony planter provides a unique and modern solution for the urban gardener. The patented design holds securely to railings of any shape up to 4" wide without the need for screws or brackets. Two removable and cleanable trays provide easy, no drip drainage. Made from an eco-friendly and durable polypropylene, this beautiful planter resists UV rays and all weather conditions, so the bright color and material will last for years without fading or becoming brittle.

This is the direction I want to go in: a planter that can hang on anyone's balcony no matter the shape of the balcony because all balconies have a ledge that you can hang things over. I really like how this planter is made out of a durable but eco-friendly and recyclable material. It also has a built-in drainage solution with two removable & cleanable trays. This is a good idea because I want my product to be sustainable and recycling the water that it uses.

I really like this pocket hanger design because it doesn't particularly show the product as much as it showcases the plants. I can see this hanging over a balcony ledge and display the beautiful flowers/plants. This is good because the flowers just drape over the pockets instead of poking out annoyingly. 

I love the idea of a locket and some sort of keepsake for you and something that is special to you, yourself (or whoever is wearing the piece of jewellery). I think we should include this kind of container for a personal object in our project. I also would want to make something like this but maybe a little nicer looking because as it is something for utility, it would be really cool as something that would be fashionable and something that the user likes to look at as well.

Each Lokai is infused with elements from the highest and lowest points on Earth. The white bead carries water from Mt. Everest, and the black bead contains mud from the Dead Sea. These extreme elements are a reminder to the wearer to find balance – staying humble during life’s highs and hopeful during its lows.

I love how this bracelet looks cool and has special materials embedded into it. I think it creates sort of a story or unique artefact for the user and makes them feel like they are a part of something bigger by having these sacred materials on their person. This would be a cool idea if we wanted to make sort of a keepsake kind of jewellery.

These Terrariums are perfect for a jewellery piece because they have a nice geometric shape (which is very in right now) but also is very structured. I also really like how they are see through/made out of glass so you can clearly see in and see the life that is inside. This could be a cool pin or button that can go as like a clothes accessory.

Liked this idea of blade runner and the decrepit society that doesn't treasure much, so something so wholesome and lively as a plant would be a cool contrast.
