Synopsis
Innovative design research methodologies led to the designing of two posters plus detailed catalogues highlighting maternal and diabetic health. The content was formatted and portrayed in a simple yet provocative manner.
This propositional project revolved around designing provocative objects. Of these was a modular, swivel pill manager which addressed key issues concerning pill management for the elderly, and communal glucometers placed at various public utility locations. The glucometers, equipped with an RFID-based system on the lines of metro card, would thereby facilitate the user to quickly perform a test, without the hassle of carrying the necessary equipment.
