Emoji Tokens

Design and 3D print emoji tokens to use in a feedback or communication system of your choice.

~3 hours (excl. print time) Min. 6 emoji tokens All skill levels

In this project, you'll be designing and making 3D printed emoji tokens to use in a chosen feedback/communication system. After learning about emoji tokens, you'll define a brief and use for emoji tokens in your local community. You'll then move through the creative process to generate ideas before bringing them to life with 3D printing technology.

* This project guides you through the design process using a series of design methods. If you'd like to adapt the project or challenge yourself to take an alternative approach, feel free to select different methods from the Design Method Toolkit.
