IDEAS BRIEF 1: Wiggly Tooth Door

IDEA INFO

Design vision, is there a special function for this design? This idea is an ideal entry/doorway. I don't see it as the front door, (at the moment) but as an entry to 'the underwater dance party' idea.

The idea comes about after an interaction between Tim and Elizabeth 5yrs. The first thing Elizabeth wanted to tell Tim about was her wiggly tooth and that it was like a 'trapdoor'. Tim and Elizabeth played with the idea of what would be behind the trapdoor. When I asked some other young people to draw a giant mouth some drew what looked like a sharks mouth. The idea that a 5yr old shark with a wiggly tooth has a dance party in its belly came about when I linked it to another drawing done that day.

I have chosen this concept because loosing teeth is a classic symbol of being a kid.

Does this idea connect with another idea? This idea connects with 'the underwater dance party'

Does the idea require a linking design? Yes. I see a walkway or tunnel that represents the digestive track of the shark. This will link the mouth to the stomach where the underwater dance party happens.

VISION

Colour requirements: This giant shark mouth would look good in the raw colours, with white teeth. The inside of the mouth would be great in the red. I can see red tinsel party curtains that you walk through forming the inside of the mouth and the digestive track. See drawing for other colour suggestions.

Texture and finishes: The outside of the shark mouth would be fine smooth or rough card formed onto a framework to create curves.

Supporting info/drawings: Yes

Model: No Digital recording: No
