MACRO/MICRO AREA STUDY
MACRO area means the study of a large area. For example, studying an entire classroom. But MICRO area means studying a smaller section. For example, studying a single student of the class. The area I researched on was INA market, New Delhi and further chose the POULTRY, FISH and MEAT marke. The micro area chosen was a shop called KWALITY CHICKEN.
The ambience and environment of this market is smelly and unclean. Since there is a lot of leaking blood, the shopkeepers keep on throwing water on the floor to wash it off. This area is much more cooler than other areas of the market.
After a detailed research on the micro area, I had to choose an area from within the shop where i could find a design driven solution.
i down a number of areas where I thought I could re-design certain things. Like, Display of poultry and seafood, packaging of poultry and seafood, Home delivery packaging and the tools used for butchering.
I then chose to go with packaging of seafood as my opportunity area.
PROBLEM AREA
The shopkeeper packs the seafood in black polythene stuffed with crushed ice.
There was a need to re-design because of the issues with the current packaging.
The problem was regarding dripping, smell and the material. All I had to do is find a solution to theses problems with the help of design.
