Fruit part 3

The third part of the fruit brief was to use the knowledge you've gained researching fruit to design your own brand new made up fruit. I decided to go with poisonous fruit using habitat as a starting point, I wanted to think about a fruit that could grow in or near polluted oceans.



I also looked at genetically modified fish and bioluminescense, plants and jellyfish and squid that glow underwater due to the bacteria in the water they eat, I was thinking about the way pollution in the water could effect the fruit.



I also looked at shells for inspiration for the shape of the fruit

 


I also looked at poisonous frogs, the way they they ward off predators with their bright colours.



Keeping on the poison theme i looked at sea urchins and anenomes, which are also bright and have really lovely structural forms. My final design is on the very left, a combination of the sea urchin spikes and bobtail squid spotted pattern.
