hi!
My name is Asier, a 24 year old Product Design Engineer from Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country. I am currently studying my Masters in Innovation and Design at Mälardalens Högskola, Västerås, Sweden. With this programme I am gaining deeper knowledge about how to implement an added-innovative-value to the design process, and how it can be managed within organizations. Overall, I am passionate Itabout creative andthe artistic is essential to understand environment and whatinto it entails, beingprocess. a product Iforam the bath, activities and bringing them the since design should convey hygiene and cleanliness.

floatability

playability
The product should be directed and adapted to the user, reason why it is essential to do a complete analysis of the user. It will also be necessary to know the lifestyle that the family will lead.
Happyness Softness user
Affection
The user is an active family with enough time to share with their children, at least during bath time. In addition, the toy will have renovating concepts like making the child learn new concepts and boosting his/her creativity too, combined with a firm awareness about the much-needed respect for the environment. As for the child, one could say that he/she transmits happiness and joy to the whole house. Keeping in mind that parents will be active and spend time with their children, the child will need nothing more than that, in order to be happy.
Based on the conclusions obtained during the entire exploration phase, it has been possible to establish the formal lines that may define the product.
the fun face of the simplicity formal lines
It is essential to understand the environment and what it entails, since being a product for the bath, should convey hygiene and cleanliness. On the other hand, these two concepts are essential, since the user will be a child between 2 to 5 years of age, who may tend to put objects into the mouth.
Through the user analysis, it has been concluded that the toy should be coloured in a way that attracts the child, but without leaving aside the above-mentioned concepts. On the other hand, and based on the capabilities of the user, the shapes of the product will be suitable to the size of him/her hand for a more ergonomic grip, these ones being clean, simple and rounded.

DICE the user enters the dice in the water, and this one, after being introduced, will leave the water facing up one of its faces. Depending on the geometrical figure on the face, the child will have to throw that same form, inside the cube, being a kind of game of basketball.
D DO ORRD DO OYY based on the shape of a turtle, this floatable toy has a cavity at one of the ends, introduced, based on which the games will var y. The main goal of the game will be to make pairs.
final product final product
Dordoy is the name of the developed toy. It has a turtle shape, which is why it has been named as Dordoy; bearing in mind that dordoka is turtle in Euskera. This product has a main large user age range of between 2 and 5 years of age. The toy is adaptable to each stage of learning and development of the user, as it has different functionalities or ways for using it. The game consists in inserting the insole into the slot once all the balls are placed in the holes. The user, either alone or with the parents or siblings, will have to catch a ball on each side of the turtle, this way uncovering the color, figure or number below and trying to form pairs. If he/she can not form the pair, the balls will have to be put back in place, but if the pair can be made, the balls can be scored in the basket that this product has. However, this basket can be placed on any wall of the bathroom, as it has two suction cups and could be placed without the need of applying a big force for doing so.
playing dynamics
Only using the turtle, with the curiosity and the fun that transmits when floating on water
Adding an insole, the memory is developed by remembering the figures that appear on it, such as colors, numbers, etc. (swaping
insole variety
With the balls and the basket case, fun is added to the game. The balls can be used alone or with the memory game, As when the child gets a pair, he/she can shoot the balls to the case.

first sketches
different sketches for the chosen idea
closer to product sketches
The screw cap.
A reusable bottle has been designed and can be opened without additional tools.
The spices.
A piece under the tap has been specially designed to contain spices, which allows the user to throw the spices in the drink in an easy and comfortable way. This piece contains a filter that allows you to drink it without these being troublesome, containing the spices in the cap and not letting them come together with the drink, this being uncomfortable for the consumer when drinking. A piece that is easily placed, thanks to the rubber bands. This facilitates and accelerates the pre-consumption process, and gives the beverage an added value.
Cocktail shaker concept.
Thanks to its shape, which reminds of a cocktail shaker, it is easy to recognize what type of drink it is.
Breaking innovative aesthetic lines.
The curves split the bottle into four sections, breaking with the traditional idea of the shaker, giving it a modern and renewed touch.
Individual format.
A bottle of 40 cl, for indvidual use, but somewhat larger than conventional ones, allowing you to enjoy the drink for longer.
The aluminium cap.
In order to give the bottle an industrial and recognizable touch.
Integrated tags.
Simple and clear, integrated into the sections composed by the lines of the bottle, maintaining fluidity, with a simple design and dark colors that stand out against the clarity of white glass, which allows an easy reading for the user.
take out the tap
packaging Once all aspects of the product have been defined, the packaging research and ideation begins. The bottles must be firmly fixed and the packaging must be of a relatively rigid structure to withstand the weight and protect the ACE bottles. It surrounds the bottle on all sides, keeping the bottle in place and protecting it from hits. To achieve this, the inside of the outer structure, at the bottom, has another base for holding the bottle. In fact, this proposal does not only protect the bottles, but it also helps in the after consumption of the bottles. Once consumed, it is very helpful to pick up the bottles and place them bakc on the packaging.

app
H2GO APP The H2GO App will help the user of H2GO Water Dispenser Service to get an easier, faster and more comfortable use , creating a personalized experience. The user can create his/her own profile. This profile will have its own QR Code.

This will allow him/her to pay faster by paying straight from the chosen payment option, avoiding the need of cash or credit card, for a more comfortable experience. Since H2GO supports the use of reusable crystal bottles for a reduction of plastic use, the user when using the H2GO Glass Reusable Bottle or other reusable water bottle, he/she will need an exact amount of water in every use. So, the App will now by the recollected data what is that quantity of water, so the user just by putting the QR Code in the QR Reader of the dispenser and positioning the bottle, it will automatically refill it, with no need of pressing buttons while using the service, for a more convenient use. In adittion, the user can also adjust the quantity by himself/herself in order to get a quicker recognition for when, by way of example, he/she for multiple reasons changes to a new reusable bottle. The app will make the users’ way to the water dispenser easier by implementing a map where the dispenser near the user are displayed. The map will show the user the way to the closest one. Moreover, for an updated, fast and user need based support service, the users can notice via H2GO App when a dispenser is not working or any other issue that should be solved. The user will this way mark the dispenser using the map and explain in a description why that dispenser urges a operator. Last but not least, in order to boost the use of the dispenser, creating user to brand fidelity and giving a sense of exclusivity for the app users, these will accumulate points every time they use the dispenser, which will be translated into discounts for the next water refill.

Thanks to the possibility of being a two-piece or a three-piece lunchbox, the user can choose, depending if he/she wants to carry more or less food that day, to carry a smaller or a bigger lunchbox to work/university. Moreover, the lunchbox has a very intuitive open/close mechanism, since the user just needs to align the upper and below icons and spin both or just one of the parts.
