How can Nets be interesting...

When deciding on a product range, how can I create something that people WANT to buy, WANT to use. We'v all seen and bought charitable items in the past, ribbons, badges. But what can I do that could set QS apart in this project.

Started looking at more nets and came across this, the Truncated icosahedron. The net for a football!

So my idea was, think of each hex on the ball having a quicksilver design an being made up to create this funky looking aunamental object (possibly a lamp shade?)

This could be sold as a flat poster which could still look effective if not built. The user would buy this knowing that the sheet has some further purpose, interactive.

It shares its vertex arrangement with the truncated great dodecahedron and the uniform compounds of 6 or 12 pentagonal prisms. It additionally shares its edge arrangement with the nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron (having the triangular and pentagrammic faces in common), and with the great rhombidodecahedron (having the decagrammic faces in common).

Mr Bingo

Had a look at Mr Bingo Design company. Saw an idea that could be relevant to my product range, a postcard book. Bound etc. Could be usefull for an application to some designs over next couple of week?

Cool Packaging/Print Design

Seen similar things to this in seminars before such as the bags. Creative ideas still that gives some ideas of my own to making design more personal/interactive. Something to look back on when I've decided on my product range.
