The Everyday Experience of
eating an apple is something that a lot of people do. There is not much that
could be changed to make this experience feel a different way. But I found a
few ways that I managed to get the user to feel ‘glamorous’ (see above
definition). I changed the look of the apple 3 different ways to try and show
this in a glamorous way; I changed the colour of the inside of the apple to a
more golden colour, I cut the apple to make a swan, and I plated the apple.
I got 3 of my friends Anand
Patel, Jessica White and Carolina Casas to do on experiment each. If the 3 of
them mention any 2 of those words listed above I am concluding that it is a
positive test.
With the first change to the
apple I changed the colour to make it golden. Gold objects are often recognised
as glamorous objects, so I believe that changing the colour to gold that it
would change the experience to a glamorous one. Anand was the participant for
this. The first time he saw it he said that he was ‘surprised’, that he ‘felt
like a king’. Before he started to eat the apple he said that it looked pretty and alluring which are both list words. While eating, he stated that he
could taste a sort of ‘rich’ taste even though there was no change in the taste
of the apple.
If you have ever seen apple
art you would know that people make some really glamorous art from the fruit,
so I carved the apple into a swan. Jessica was the person who tested this
experiment. When she first saw the swan she immediately said that it was very elegant, pretty and attractive. She even stated that it did look very glamorous. And,
while she was eating, she stated that she felt it was really delicate and
didn’t want to disturb the form of the apple.
For my third change instead
of just having an apple in a bowl like they normally are I put it on a plate
and decorated that plate with Flowers. Carolina tested this experiment. The
first thing she said when she saw the plate was that it was beautiful. After eating the slices of
apples she stated that it was a lovely
experience, not because of the taste of the apple but because of the way it was
presented to her.
