Blue Sky 2016

Blue Sky is the king of all projects. It is a huge project that we have to do at the end of the year. I had to come up with a problem that I have. It couldn’t be too specific but it couldn’t be too open either. I then had to come up with a ” how might we” question. That asks how we could solve the problem. To help come up with the problem, question, and answer I had to use the launch cycle. The launch cycle is a cycle you go through to help come up with creative ideas for things. Here is a video explaining the launch cycle.

My problem was that make-up has a lot of toxic ingredients that are bad for your skin. My question was “How might we make a line of make-up that is natural and good for your skin?”. I was really excited to start working on this project because I love making things and I enjoy using make-up. Before I could start making things I had to collect all of my ingredients. I already had a lot of the stuff I needed, such as mint extract, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Once I had collected all of the ingredients I was ready to start. My first batch of products turned out horribly. None of the products were the right constancy or had enough pigment in them. My second batch turned out a lot better and a couple of the products were perfect. I had to make a couple of the products a third time because they weren’t quite good enough. After all the products are done I had to come up with a name for the line and make packaging for them. I wanted to make the packaging unique so I went with a triangle design. I named the line Rosabella because it means beautiful rose in French and I love roses.

I was so happy with my finished products I couldn’t wait to share them with everyone.Once I was done making the make-up I had to make a poster board and two slideshows showing me making the products and what they looked like in the end. Then it was time to present. I was a little nervous about sharing my project with everyone but I was excited to see what people would think. I set up everything and I thought it looked really good. I was really happy with how the exhibition turned out. A lot of people liked my project and that made me even more proud of it. Even though it was a fun project it took a lot of work and I’m happy it’s over.
