Design Brief: Toolkit Proposal

3 Tools

 

Branding

My toolkit is a hospice kit designed for people who has a high chance to be killed by extreme weathers and natural disasters.

I used fabric to make the package of toolkit because the fabric is a material with temperature. It gives people more comfort compares to a colder material like plastic and metal. A dove symbolized peace, hope, and love. So I used as the main element in my branding and the image of a dove goes throughout the toolkit. The color blue is another important element. Blue is a depressing color with a sad tone, death also gives me the same feeling. However, I do not want to make my kit something negative and pessimistic, so I added some delightful patterns and different shades of blue into my design.

Each hospice kit if personalized. The personal information of the owner is engraved on the toolkit so it can be returned to the owner’s family and friend as someone finds the body.

The toolkit basically consists of three parts: Last Words, Memory Gallery, and Hospice powder.

“Last Words” is consists of a screen, a camera, a speaker, and a microphone. People can send their last words in the form of video or voice message. They can also watch or listen to other people’s last words. I designed a user manual that shows the user interface of the software so it is more clear for users.

“Memory Gallery” is a completely personalized tool that helps people to reminisce their best meaningful memories. As for me, I chose several pictures, my favorite candy, a sticker given by my niece, and a ring given by my aunt.

“Hospice powder” helps to reduce pain, give peaceful emotion and extend life for several minutes so that people can spend more time on using the kit and go over all these precious memories and messages.
