5. Our Agency:
Name: SpiroCollective
based on the children'sโ toy the Spirograph.
This toy includes a outer circular stencil that houses small circular disks used to
draw a series of interconnecting lines and shapes.
Our principles and agency ethos guided and directed our action and response. For
example, we decided that we wonโt work with a brand at face-value when the core
needs attention, this proved to be a big influence when working with RedCap
Foundation.

Name: 8Bit PUG
8 Bit symbolises the concept of retro colour coding. The graphics
displayed are only a variation of eight colours (such as our group size)
PUG stands for gaming term Pick Up Group which describes a group of
players with a balanced repertoire of skills that have united together for the
accomplishment of a certain goal.
Our identity ethos is therefore directed by the fundamental elements of
gaming and game play.

30. CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT
Fast Food Packaging Design and Ideation Project
Course Module:
โข We were faced with a challenge
โ a global fast food chain had approached us seeking ideas for the development of new
packaging.
โข We were required to plan and execute an immersion into fast food stores
and gain insight into the broader fast food experience as well as
demonstrate our ability to ideate, execute design thinking and
experience mapping.
โข The end result: Solve solutions around the issue of:
โ Temperature
โ Freshness
โ Ease pf eating
โ Sustainability

32. How we answered the brief:
_thought model
(inspired by TBWA)
1. What are the conventions
2. How can we disrupt them
3. Create a clear vision
33. Immersion
_similarities & differences
To understand the conventions that are experience by consumers when coming
into contact with the relative fast food brands in SA, we looked at the
similarities and differences according to the following criteria:
- temperature
- freshness
- ease of eating
- sustainability
34. Creative process
_brainstorming
(Defer judgment)
To disrupt the conventions surrounding packaging for fast food, we used the
method of brainstorming in order to ideate and innovate how we could change
the fast food packaging experience.
Process:
Listed as many option as possible within a time period
One member ensured we remained on topic
Deferred all judgement
35. Conventions & Disruptions
_Examples
1. Materials (e.g. Cardboard vs. bagasse/sugar paper)
2. Extras (e.g. Entertainment-toys vs. plantable boxes)
3. Shapes (e.g. Square box vs. all in one circular tower)
4. Colours (e.g. Nandos orange, red, green, beige exterior visual
identity palette vs. branding internally on the packaging)
5. Customer Journey (eg. Drive-through vs. sms system)
6. Delivery (eg. Drop-off vs. helicopter)
7. Consumption (When/where/how? eg. Take-away box vs.
telescope wrap the expands and contracts)
8. Disposal (eg. On site at store bin vs. edible box)
36. Thin Slice- Vision .1
_temperature _example
- heat to eat/hotbed burger
- incorporates hand warmer tech
Experience map
37. Thin Slice- Vision .2
_freshness _example
- the dome: keeps food fresh by storing it in a
vacuumed dome lined with salt paper to
absorb the humidity (water)
Experience map
38. Thin Slice- Vision .3
_ease of eating _example
- zoom wrap: inspired by the telescope,
where as u eat you can collapse a level of
the packaging for ease of eating.
Experience map
39. Thin Slice- Vision .4
_sustainability _example
-feed the floor burger: inspired by Pangea
Organic seed infused plantable box i.e., the
packaging grows into a tree after disposal.
Experience map
40. Final Concept
_all in 1 _example
- design- technology used for Orikaso
mug/plate/bowl range
- made from the same card Pangea uses
so that the box is recyclable
- lining of the box has salt paper to
decrease condensation
- take away bag can be lined with foil to
insulate and store the heat of the food
- design on the inside of the box
42. FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS
ANALYSIS SKILLS

45. OUR BUSINESS IDEA
โข What:
โ Our business idea is to improve the post graduate application process
by better organizing the various company offerings in a more simplified,
instant and complete manner online.
โข How:
โ By offering the best service through an improved method of researching
for the related graduate program to ensure that the results are tailored
to the users needs.
โ We chose to use Best Employers list of affiliated partners as choice in
companies listed
โข The Industry
โ Definitely subject to growth if we look at the rise in internet adoption rate
over the years 2000 and 2011 is 2,527.4 % in Africa alone
Business Plan/ Student Crossing/ 24 Oct 2011
46. THE PROBLEM
Experience map:
Once students complete
their studies, they fall prey
to a lag period whereby
they battle to find a job and
become complacent which
can results in the โTV
series syndrome.โ
Out of desperation, the
student forfeits their
desired career
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide all pre and post graduates with an online, user friendly
database and by doing so we aim to prevent our target market (pre and post
graduates) from falling into the trap of unemployment after completing their studies by
offering them an instant and comparative research tool.
Business Plan/ Student Crossing/ 24 Oct 2011
47. RESEARCH: TARGET MARKET
Type Student population
1 Universities 283,614
2 Comprehensive University 375,962 We have decided that all

48. THE SOLUTION
Experience map:
The black line shows
the existing experience
a student undergoes
when trying to apply for
a post graduate
program. The research
process is the biggest
โpain pointโ.
The red line is where
our business plan
improves the whole
process of researching
for a company as well as
offering application
support.

56. CONCLUSION
โข Based on the above research we feel that our business plan of Student
Crossings is a viable option because:
โ There is little competition on entering the market
โ There is a secure and constant guaranteed target market who will
require our services
โ It proves to be a profitable business venture, securing an amount of
plus/minus R 100 000 for each partner based on the figures above, after
the first year.
โ Win win for everyone ; Education Institutes offer their students a added
service, companies get advertised and an increased chance for the
most suitable employee and we have support from both parties.
