Aframes

Initial thoughts of the shape and look of the Aframe

Used originally on the football boots umbro released the first Aframes which were the Speciali's which were made out of pure leather and extremley comfy. I havent ever worn them but I managed to find a really good review on the internet which is titled 'Whats so special about the Speciali'

The shape of the Aframe looks like a boomerang but could also be a net maybe? 


Two of the Aframe shape put horizontally facing each other can almost make the Umbro logo
Had a long life span and been on alot of legendary footballers feet. Its like a national monument.


How can the target market be grabbed?

First thing that comes to mind is interaction or games. I find myself asking 'how can I make a game out of the Aframes?

What do 16 year olds do to pass time in school in class while there not listening to the teacher or are waiting for the class to start?


Pitch and toss?

a game in which players toss coins at a mark, the person whose coin hits closest to the mark tossing all the coins in the air and winning all those that come down heads up.

Two up? 

A game of chance, played by betting on the outcome of two pennies thrown in the air you place your bet when the pennies are in the air and if your prediction is correct you win what ever the amount you placed.

The orginal game

Subbuteo is table football. It is played on a cloth pitch which folds out to abit bigger than a dinner table.The game is played between two players, each have ten figures they flick around the pitch and a goalkeeper on a rod to defend their goal. 

The school boy version which I played you used a screwed up paper ball and one person flicked the paper into a net made out of the other person using their finger and thumb. 

After just making the shape of the net you make with your finger and thumb I realised that it makes the shape of the Aframes! RESULT...

 I am going to start making visuals to support my idea which is still in my head at the moment.
