Last week we wrote about our thoughts if whether we would use glue or not because we want to be as environmentally friendly as possible and glue is not known for being that. But we did some research and found an environmentally friendly glue called “rye” glue (rågmjölsklister, read more about it in swedish here) that we are gonna…
Status report I figured I’d write a bit about our prototype design process, since so far it’s been the main storyline of our project. We started out with a pretty simple base idea for the shape of our snack packaging solution; an octagon. The main motivations were that we wanted something a bit more geometrically…
We have now settled with a brand name for our company! Team grasshopper is now realfood, which stands for what we want to communicate with our product – real, eco-friendly products. During this second week, we got lots of new ideas for our project. We’ve been playing around with the designs quite a bit. What…
Ten hour days This week has been busy for us at Periferi all day everyday, making a moodboard and starting to work more thoroughly with our prototypes. Contuinuing our work from last week and moving forward with the protoypes. We have gone through some dull moments, but a lot of good times too! Some key decisions have been…
Hi again, we’re back! New brandname – Nut Bug When we were going to name our company we wanted to have a name that was associated with something that tastes good and did not only make customers think about insects. After researching about field crickets, we found out that they have a very crunchy texture…
When the second week started we were feeling excited about our concept which is a texture similair to tree bark. We had this idea since the Timberman larvae lives underneath the bark of trees such as birch and pine. Apparently though, this texture is very difficult to create in paper, so we thought of finding…
Packaging prototypes This week we’ve been working on packaging prototypes. We took a different direction with our brand. At first we thought about branding ourself as crispbread for people who like organic food and also working out alot. After a tutoring session with Niklas we found ourself on the baking path. He told us something…
The time is going very fast in our stink bug packaging project! It’s already the end of week two which means it’s only three weeks left until the exhibition of our packing for the edible stink bugs. Yesterday we had a photography lecture where we learned about product photography and camera settings. We have also…
Hello again! This week we had a lot of changes to our initial design and to our company name. Since our first idea, that consisted of lots of color and patterns, didn’t match the butterfly our caterpillar turns into we decided to change everything and start anew. That includes the name GJORD, we changed it…
Hello again! A lot has happened with our stink bug project since the last time we posted. For example we scrapped the name Nordvinge and switched to Fjällbaggen instead because it sounded better and didn’t have the word “vinge” it (we had too much of that word in our product names). We have also decided on the…
