Brainstorming
Proposal. 1
Bicycle Accessory
Rainy climate in the UK
We are thinking about a kind of bicycle accessory that can encourage the children and their parents to ride bicycle; as one of outdoor activities. It will be a smart device holder(smartphone or mp3 player and so on) which can be able to tie the device on the bicycle handle and protect the device from frequent rainfall. Also, because it will be made of polypropylene, it will be very light. At the same time, it will be provided for the participants as a form of a plate, so that the participants can easily assemble it.

This is our rough prototype of multi-holder. Of course, the design will be developed. It just shows you our idea about the holder. We want to catch out the landscape or landmark of Newcastle and then simplify those features so that it can bring the participants memory of Newcastle. We are thinking about a couple of ways to make this holder more enjoyable. One is make it like a pop-up card, and the other is using an effect of shadow. Please refer to the following pages.
