Flat Packed Present






For this assignment i designed a cardboard DIY camera for children. This inexpensive camera allows the child to spend quality time with their parent(s) building the camera, learning about how a camera works as well as the satisfaction of taking and developing real photos using the camera they made.

I have to be honest that at first, i was pretty skeptical about the practicality of this product because it was held together by rubber bands but after looking at it more, it seems to be something different.
I understand that its for kids so the materials don't really matter but then again since its for kids, wouldn't you at least put some colour on it or maybe a sticker of a dragon?

Its a pretty hard idea to go through with i'll admit so i must say that it looks and works pretty good. The way you can see the photos is unique but the details seem a bit fuzzy. Although i can't think of a solution for that, i think that would get pretty annoying after a while.
Good stuff though, definitely would've scared me off if i had to make that.

Very cool design you have Uel! nicely thought out, its good how you incorporated the gift as an educational tool aswell, having them interacting with their parents and learning at the same time great concept.

One thing to point out is that the rubber bands do stand out, maybe if there was another way to place it together would of been better.
But still a working camera is great fun for kids!
