Muji Collaboration: 3. Evaluation & Final Selection

The process of evaluation require a lot of thought and calculation on each craft, if you missed the previous post, here are the links:

1. Research
2. Design Development

There are some cost details which will be sensitive to share but I have a template on how Muji staffs and I evaluated all the factors to be considered.

Creating a well-thought craft is something I enjoy most. Besides the skills to be learnt at the workshop, the therapeutic rewards from gift wrapping were also considered.  The joy of giving is equally important and is something that I want to all students to takeaway. Remember the question that I asked during the research journey:

Is it possible to change the world by giving?
and my answer is: Yes (with a big smile)

Template of evaluation list

Each craft is selected according to the time, cost, learning outcome and other factors that will benefit both Muji and its target audience.
