Design Process Stage 2

I am happy  that I have met with two advisors for my art therapy system and that I met with my instructor to create a design brief.  A brief that has been approved by my advisors.  Now, I need to innovate from what exist.  Really, there is not a system for them, but I still have not thoroughly explore what it can be. 

I need to create design concepts of my art therapy system that is simple, highly suitable to elderly depression sufferers and beautiful.  But, I need to have a system that everyone will realize - "yes" they need a system such as this and Art Therapist is able to travel with it and feel convenient in doing so.

This is a sketch that I did after the ideation sketching session in class and I used to explain my initial design concept based on my research to my advisors during my first meetings with them.

I need to update from this sketch because my advisors have told me what needs to change.

First Ideation Sketches

The general recommendations for elderly art therapy users to enjoy more of art therapy are make paint easier for them to access and eliminate any frustration they might have by keeping the paper on the table.


With this mind, I did the following ideation sketches in class.
I have the thesis topic teaser presentation ready, but need to improve on my sketches and type out questions that I will have for my first advisor during my first meeting with her tomorrow.

Here are some of my ideation sketches.
