Hughes Chris Package Delight

With my interaction I am looking at packaging and how we interact with packaging that we come across every day. My idea is very simple and looks into one aspect of interaction whichis how we open and  close packaging and the different variations we can get. Also that not only are weusing our sense  of touch but also a sense of sound. I decided in the end to use different variationsof sandpaper rather than different materials like glass, cloth etc after experimenting with  materials like these and finding they don’t quite get the subtle differenc es I was looking for and it became all too complex to use. With my interaction It is an box with 3different types of sandpaper that go from smooth with rough from the matt black box to the gloss box. Instruction -First take the matt black box and open and close it. (try not to fully close it as it may be a bit hard  to re-open) -Turn the lid around so you have a different combination of friction against the lid. -Take the gloss black box and open and close it and then do the same as the second step.

Origami.

In a first attempt at making a box I looked at origami I box's and this is what I ended up making. (This is not the exact box I made mine got crushed so couldn't take a photo of it.)

Investigation.

While investigating packaging and different types, shapes, sizes etc of box's I came across the iPhone 4 case which caught my eye by how elegant it looks and I've opened one of these box's before and what I found interesting about it was that a sort of vacuum effect was made when lifting and closing the lid due to how precise the box was which was interesting. I think I am going to try base my box on how the iPhone 4 box was made.
