From Core to Casing

Designed and developed three distinct products centered around an egg: a functional case for holding and eating, a package adhering to the six primary purposes of packaging, and a creative form balancing the egg in an innovative way. The project emphasized ideation, prototyping, and focused design refinement. For the Packaging Use Case, detailed research on egg packaging, transportation, labeling, and storage regulations informed the design process. A cardboard prototype was created, along with packaging blueprints, and tested for functionality using an actual egg. The Functional Use Case explored protective solutions unrestricted by aesthetic requirements, while the Creative Use Case emphasized inventive presentation. Prototypes for these directions were visualized in 3D, 3D-printed, and also tested for practicality. This project enhanced skills in packaging design, prototyping, CAD modeling, product visualization, and creative problem-solving.
