System Design
Brief of the project: To design the promotional items for the product where children are one of the mail consumers.
The organization studies for system design is a Non Governmental Organization, Gramshree.
The organization endeavours to raise the social status of women from disadvantaged backgrounds and artisans
through income generation activities.
My context was to add a new dimention to toys and games by making them a marketing tool. The inspiration comes from the“Happy meal”concept by McDonalds.
Children are the future customes and have indirect affect on the purchase made by parents. This is a challenging
area to work upon.
Other promotional items made for the NGO. Cool badges and key holders.
All of these products are the characters from
Panchatantra stories.
