Focus Group Feedback
What are the issues, difficulties or
problems that my peer group found in understanding or interacting with my
design, as expressed by my mockup and posters?
- · better communication as to how the cap operates
- · be able to connect multiple bottles end to end to create a "train" opposed to just a car
- · include manufacturing information
- · include material specifications
- · point of sale information
- · put concept in a clearer context
- · sheet titles & information
- · add product to hand / holding human interaction
- · more juices in range - black current, apple, etc
What are my strategies for addressing the
issues found? What steps should I take to ensure that my posters communicate
the merits of my design in the best possible way for the Cormack industry
critique next week?
- · CAD renderings
- · exploded views
- · better communication
- · break pages into segments
- · more / better titles / captions
- · "moulded in" instructions

Inconvenient truth: Due 6th August
An increase in the carbon dioxide level
is directly related in an increase in temperature
Increases in
temperature cause the oceans to heat up which causes larger storms to develop
over it
The temperature and
Co2 levels are significantly higher that ever in recordable history
These levels are
predicted to increase experientially to quickly make earth uninhabitable if C02
levels aren’t lowered
Very large storms and
natural disasters are getting more intense and more frequent
Icecaps have
diminished by 40% in 40 years
Arctic is heat up the
quicker than any other region
Seasons are changing;
winters are getting shorter
Just the relatively
recent small increase in summer lengths are creating problems for animals cause
their numbers to diminish and number of parasites to increase to fill the
ecological ‘hole’ that the past animals created when they passed
Antarctica’s iceshelfs
are disappearing rapidly due to the pools of water appearing them
If the iceshelfs on
the west of Antarctic collapsed the sea would raise 20ft, this is true if the
same happened in Greenland
Lots of large ‘pools’
of ice are forming in the ice in Greenland
Just a 20ft rise in
water level would cause very large amounts of countries would just disappear
Population in the large
100 years have increase enormously, which increase the need for more energy
putting more and more pressure on the earth
New technology using
old un-moral, un-environmental habits can cause massive variably consequences
The US is the biggest
contributor to C02 by far
Scientific scepticism
of global warming being fake is very minimal, whereas popular press scepticism
is greater than half, making global warming appear very confusing to most of
the public
In the eye of the US
government they choose to not accept global warming because it would cost to
much money
America is behind the
rest of the world in car petrol economy and their laws do not ban bad fuel
economy because it’ll put to much strain on the manufacturers and will go broke
America can’t see their
cars in Japan because their fuel economies are below that enforced as the
minimum by their laws
Using good fuel
economy cars, more efficient appliances and other fuel saving dramatically
reduce C02 production
US have not signed the
Kyoto agreement
The only thing
stopping change is government
We fixed the ozone by
cutting down on CFC production; global warming like this can be fixed

Video Reviews – Dale Wakeham – due 23rd Jul 12
Video Reviews – Dale Wakeham – due 23rd Jul 12
How it’s made:
Cardboard box:
• The partially recycled card starts on a big roller which first is put through a corrugators to make the centre flute of cardboard, glue is then applied and then flat card is glued on either side. It is then cut to size and stacked; a trimmer is then used to cut the flaps and scores the folded sides of the box. It then goes through a folding machine to fold the box, and glue is applied and the sides stuck. The printing press applies the colours to the box.
Packaging tubes:
• Aluminium slugs are spun to orientate them correctly is each slug is then pressed to give it its exterior and interior shape. The tubes are then aligned and threads are added to the tubes, and then trimmed smooth. They are then heated to soften then. Epoxy resin is then applied to the interior to protect the contents. Rollers the paint the tubes, then dries then. They are then printed with there decals. Plastic cans are then screwed on. Latex is then added to the ends to add as lubricant, they then are shipped to be filled.
Tetrapack:
• Has a paper, foil and plastic layer. The paper is then printed on using a roller. Is is then put in a laminating machine that joins the foil and plastic layers. The large roll produced is then cut up into smaller rolls. The film is then sterilised and formed into a tube, then fills it with product, and cuts the tube into individually sealed packages.
Recycling:
• Not available online anymore
Aluminium cans:
• Starts on a large roll, then pressed bent into circular cups, it is then pressed into the actual shape. They are then washed, dried and varnished. The rotation printed then applies up 5 colours, they are then varnished and then dried. A resin is added to the interior to stop the aluminium affecting the contents. A neck is then formed on the can and then a lip is added. They are then sent off to be filled and have the pull rings added.
Glass bottles:
• Silica sand, soda ash, recycled glass fragments and limestone are the main ingredients in glass. These materials is fed into a ferniest which then combines them then disposes the right about for one glass in dollops. It is then pit into a mold which makes it into a miniature version of the actually bottle. It then moves to a blow moulder that makes it the final size. Colorants can be added. They are then slowly cooled to prevent cracking. They are then lubricated, and inspected.
Plastic Bottles & Jars:
• Made from PET. It is then melted and injected into a mould, making pre-forms. The pre-forms are heated to make them malleable, then lengthened with a rod and then blown to make it its actual size and shape.
How do they do it? – Recycling:
• Collected by trucks from houses, which is the taken to a depot which sorts all the rubbish, into plastics, glass, and paper etc. air is used to lift u and sort the lighter paper, while heavier metal and glass falls down. Metal is then removed using magnets separates it from the plastics. Now all the sorted materials are pressed into bails. The remaining non-usable garbage is then sent to a depot that fills trucks which then take it to a landfill. The landfill is lined with clay and non-breathable plastic. It is then compacted, and coved in soil
Giving packaging a new life:
Recycling paper:
• Paper bails are then sorted into different qualities, and then dissolved and pulped. Then any impurities and inks are removed. Other raw materials are added to produce the right type of paper. The fibres that are dissolved are put into a machine that lays, presses and dries the paper.
Recycling tetrapak:
• The shredded packs are pulped with makes the packs swell and the layers separate. The paper is removed and recycled. Concrete producers then use the plastic and aluminium.
Recycling tinplate:
• Aluminium bails are then processed at steel works by smouldering.
Recycling aluminium:
• The aluminium bails are melted, cast and rolled, for use in production new aluminium products.
Recycling glass:
• The different coloured glass are sorted and made into fragments. The prepared fragments and then sent back to glass producers for melting and making new glass.
Recycling plastics:
• Plastics are sorted into the there categories. Polystyrene is ground and shaped into new polystyrene. Mixed or film plastics are made into new films in extruders. Plastic bottles are granulated and used in new products. PET can be reused to make into new bottles endlessly.
Sorting innovations:
• Fully automated sorting machine, utilising the traditional methods, then wet drum removes paper, the rest is then granulated, magnets retrieve the metal, then the different plastics are sorted using a number or centrifuges.
