One of the main projects in the first term of the third year of university was to research environmental materials and design a new point of sale stand for a product of our choice, based on our materials research. The idea was to make it as environmentally ethical and considerate as possible. I chose the Playstation 3 with the aim of reducing assembly time, transport costs and material costs. It was also discovered through the research that 60% of retailers do not recycle their point of sale stands, regardless of what they are made from. Interesting stuff eh? It’s amazing what you can find out just by asking people.
The final report design. The cover/holder was made from scraps of cardboard I found under the stairs, and ribbon from a christmas present.
The final POS design. It was compact, robust and 100% recyclable.
