Cultural Tea Bag Product on Plane.

On going product design and research for MA Studies a Design of a selection of Tea Bag (Beginning, Middle & End)  Products for Airplane on the Geo-graph from London to Tokyo. One of four designs, the experience of a tea ceremony of sharing with the people seated next to you, as one part of the package of a limited addition during winter time. This one on the Geo-graph will be above London, Türkiye, China & Japan on the plane journey, given whilst above its location as an unusual experience for the customer experience. I adjusted the design and theme when going in to my research with prints, design and UX design and from my research developing a script and story taken from Alice in Wonderland as a way to modernise the story line and experience exploring pepper ghost projection in the form of using a projection above going to the table of glass to form a projection whilst being given food and tea towards the tea ceremony to challenge the way we experience plane journeys. 

Each design has been carefully designed using a colour questionnaire given to each culture  and making the prints feel futuristic yet representing each culture using 3d, 2d mediums whilst designing in 2d and using AI to recreate the design in to 3d, it has been then created now in photoshop re-edited and Light Room on adobe.

Final Designs of Tea Bag Bottles for Geo-graph plane journey. 

This is the London Designed tea bottle, I'm thinking like Lego it can detach from the skirt and The reason I changed the design Previously because I felt it was too tribal and similar to feelings in Africa but then I redesigned the shape and added a golden frame to feel it tells a story of you could say Hampton Court Palace or the National Portrait Gallery as these two locations have had an influence on my childhood upbringing location wise, and there is a whole mystery to the design, the prints and colours definitely provide proof of British Heritage but with a twist of the futuristic design. This then feeds in to the storyline as being Alice in Wonderland, as we can take the tea party chapter to inform the story and experience with a script created later on in my experimentation. 

This was inspired by colours and history within the royal purple being an expensive colour to wear, with gold the prints resemble a traditional print, and has a mystery around the design, The hair I based it on my friend Dilara from Turkey as she put her hair up in balls, and so I felt I wanted to express this within a modern society. Also the steel shiny tea glasses proved an inspiration with the design, I wanted there to be a dark shade to connect the colours together on each tea bottle to keep continuity whilst this would be a winter collection.  

For this next one, based on China, I wanted to create a modern twist because todays china is very much progressing at a fast speed in the modernisation culturally but I wanted to use colours that would spark details from the colours and prints. I think also the way they add detail to pottery fascinating plus their love of toys. The design needs more time to explore. 

Toyko, this one im really happy with, the design is like a head of a Geisha, or one could think it was a lightbulb as Japan is great for inventing amazing ideas and craft in their works. I wanted to create a print of a flower almost like a lotus flower in the print and have colours which were like night life, as the city is always buzzing, but also modern but traditional, I wanted to make light white to make it feel bright and different to the others. 

Here are some more designs of the prints done. They were taken from 3d models to form 3d prints. Which challenged me from using 3d software. 

Final Designs Adobe Light Room edited and adjusted for appeal from my cultural friends who I did the questionaire for. 

Script -Begining Chapter One.

Framed.

Suddenly as the plane is gearing to go, she sees black cars with flags on the front. “How curios.”

Alice slowly falls asleep on the plane as its just lifting off...

Suddenly Alice gets whizzed around to being seated in a big chair facing familiar faces; the hare, the mad hatter and the dormouse tail coming out of the teapot. Feeling slightly dizzy she looked up from laying plonked on the table. “Fuck a duck, what happened?” Alice looks more squinting at the mad hatter. “Well, that’s no way to look at us, was the tea that bad?!” The mad hatter looked not approving. “Oh, it’s not the tea, I was on the plane…” Alice explained but before she could finish the hare interrupted. “Plane what is a plane?” Hare questioned. “Well, it’s like a bird it carries people in the air to places.” Alice explained in a broken-down term. “A plane, never heard of such an animal.” The Mad Hatter pondered on. “Alice you must have hit your head.” The hare concluded. “Or you’ve gone mad!” The Mad Hatter concluded. “I’m not mad!” Alice defended herself in all the madness. Suddenly the dormouse poked it’s head out of the teapot. “Twinkle twinkle little star…” The dormouse sang and fell back in the tea pot. Alice shook her head. Tapping her fingers on the table. “Oh, I see, your bored!” The Mad Hatter points at her fingers. “I’m not bored, I’m confused, I’m trying to figure out how the hell I got back here… I was on the plane, and I must have fallen asleep. Wait, she suddenly realised she could pinch herself…ow!” Puzzled and realising she’d in fact slipped back into Wonderland. Suddenly the Mad Hatter looked puzzled. “Why on earth do you have a frame around you Alice?” The Mad Hatter came over nocking it. Alice suddenly looked to her left and right, up and down. “How odd, I don’t remember this happening before.” Suddenly Alice starts to stretch, bend, push pull and ends up falling on to the floor. The hare comes overlooking fascinated. “I think we need to cut it, where’s the Knife?” The dormouse dozy walks in an unbalanced fashion towards Alice with a bread Knife. “Hold still.” The Hare takes the knife. But when he cuts it, the knife bounces off and as if a dart hits a tree, as if magic had protected itself. “Oh god, we need help. Your stuck here Alice you can’t escape the tea party. You’ve been placed here for a reason.” Empathising the Mad Hatter explained. “Maybe we should have some wine?” Hare starts to get excited. “Hare, you don’t have any wine, remember!” Frustrated Alice crosses her arms sitting back in the chair. Alice thinks to herself. “If this is time stuck at 6 o’clock and I left on the plane at 6 o’clock. Oh god.”
