Storage Jewelry
This is a school project. The assignment is to hand craft a product design and design a package design along with it. I designed flash drive jewelry because I often misplace my flash drives so I wanted to have it on me at all times. So I created Storage Jewelry, both fashionable and functional. Made with polymer clay, and Adobe Illustrator.
The audience for this project is people like me, who misplace things or always uses usb in their work. I made a necklace and ring with the usb attached along with the usb caps. I decided to make a cute forest themed product because I think it would attract people to wear these jewelry. I illustrated the package design with the same frog and mushroom, I put a clear plastic frame in the front so others can see what's inside. The bottom of the package says forest edition because I plan to make more different themes of Storage Jewelry.
Process
There was a lot of trial and error because this was my first time working on a product design. I sculpted polymer clay to create the jewelry, measured the usb size so the it could fit in the polymer clay. Then I baked the clay and glued the usb on. For the ring I have a ring size chart and decided to use it as a mold for my rings.
