Final Designs
Below are the final designs of the selection of future milk bottle. Photographs are captured to make advertising poster designs for the milk bottles specifically in a cafe area.
By using the research of milk bottle designs. The honey jar became an inspiration of the shape and size of the milk bottle. The honey jar bottle is shaped as a hexagon this shape allows none wasted space, distribution of the bottle to fit nicely, closely and even stack well when transporting and a suitable size for elderly people to grip and use without complications or worries about unscrewing lids. Unfortunately due to timescale of balancing other briefs I was unable to rectify nor finalise the lid mechanism properly to correct this I would of done more 3D printing so that a thinner plastic sheet will be joined to the handle of the bottle to the lid to make a spring effect.
The original design was supposed to be the other the overall hexagon bottle with the handle inside the bottle. However, due to the 3D printers limitations with printing the plastic bottle model design the overall design was altered into a more realistic shape. For example it's complicated to make the handle of the milk bottle to go inside the hexagon shape. Therefore a more tea cup handle will be more suitable and allows more of an area for the consumer's hand to get a secure grip. The lid design for the milk bottle was also altered due to the reality of making the bottle more functional. Instead of the lid have a rotation lid motion it would be more efficient if the lid was able to pop open with little pressure. The cardboard box carrier was also not rectify as the lid of the carrier has no sealer. To correct this I would of printed out another sticker design of the milk brand to attach the lid to the carrier box. However, for purposes to show the function of opening and closing the carrier lid and demonstrates how the three milk bottle fit in the carrier box so it will remain unseal.
The overall design for the milk bottle was used for the initial submission design board designs which included a lid cover and label. The colour scheme of the milk bottle was influenced by the milk colour selection of the U.K. (green, red and blue.) The logo for the milk was by using the typeface known as Eurostile and the exclamation mark is to make the letter 'i' and a bottle shape. The overall designs were printed on a matte material this allows the colours to contrast against the white plastic material. In addition it is easier to stick the design on the 3D model.
To concluded, this brief fun yet challenging. The reason of the challenging stages that was 3D printing this is due to the amount of time of the model to make and the trial and errors of the plastic forming into the lid and bottle shape. As for the 3D printer - it prints in layers therefore the plastic became irregular and uneven. But the overall design was successful and the bottle design were functional and even practical for the main consumers that the brief outlined.

Evaluation
In conclusion the design process of the future milk bottle design brief was challenging yet enjoyable. In the beginning of the brief, finding a functional and appropriate shape for the milk bottle was the most difficult part of the brief. Especially when finding a suitable shape for the consumers to use which are children and elderly (especially with arthritis) cannot grip of grab due to their joints. During researching for different shapes and sizes for a milk bottle were already made and taken, thus persuading my design to be completely different from the majority. By regarding to the previous milk bottle designs on the google images and sustainable packaging was inspiring as it help break down why certain designs were used.
