the concepts...

Many ideas were thrown into the design mix with the focus on training goalkeepers. The aim was to train goalkeepers for two main areas;

• The unexpected - keeping reactions lightning fast!

• Repetitive motion - the more you do the better you get!

The concept portfolio chart below demonstrates a range of inital ideas that have been roughly tested and mapped accordingly to match relivance and how easy it would be to replicate.

Each idea has been displayed as either:

Performance hinderer - making training harder so that matches are easier.

Performance aid - simulates match situations for repetition.

The final 5 concepts chosen were then developed on:

Concept 1:The Egg

Concept 2: The Flick Stick

Concept 3: The Ramp

Concept 4: The Mat

Concept 5: The Wall

Here are some final prototype shots taken at the Product Designers Market, Brick Lane. More images showing the development will be here soon...

 

On to the testing!
