Development

I have refined the 12 different childhood activities for each card/week, these were refined with peers in which we came up with more ideas as well. Below shows the 12 developed tasks for each week, also every 3 weeks the user gets to write their own childhood related task that they will complete that week- this makes the challenge more fun and personal to them as people had different hobbies as children.

-1: Arrange a board games night
-2: Revisit your favourite book or movie from childhood
-3: Write your own
-4: Work on a jigsaw puzzle, it can be as simple or complex as you like
-5: Visit your favourite park from childhood (could be your local park, theme park or leisure park)
-6: Write your own
-7: Arrange a dinner party, strictly no alcohol
-8: Do some arts and crafts, start by buy some art supplies and let the creativity begin, e.g. buy a large canvas and some paint or a DIY kit
-9: Write your own
-10: Do your favourite physical activity as a child, e.g. go swimming, join a dance class, organise a game of rounders in the park
-11: Contact a childhood friend to talk about nostalgia and reminisce
-12: The last week: re-do your favourite activity from the past 12 weeks and feel free to add to it. Merge activities together if it works!

I have also started to develop the designs for the front of the packaging further and applied the same colours and design rules to the designs for the cards. The final main colours that I decided to go forward with are magenta, yellow and white.

I was a little unsure on the name 'Childhood VS Adulthood' as it sounds a bit like a fight, however it is a challenge that needs to be completed for 12 weeks so maybe it is appropriate- peer feedback suggested that it did work though.

My other idea for the name was 'Release the child' as it challenges adults to re-discover their childhood hobbies and interests.

Below shows developments for the back of the packaging box, this explains to the user how the challenge works: how it helps them use their childhood hobbies as self care methods and de-stress from adult life.

The refined back design is shown below which uses the same half colour background as the front in order to create consistency, the colour background is also more engaging and eye-catching.
