Being able to clean with the gumball machine was essential. During rsearch I found that many are very dirty and this doesn't help sell it's contents. 
A flashing LED would attract a passer by who might trigger the device. 
Reducation in the amount of zinc was key as this cost fluctuates. Though it was a part of the brand heretage to have it. 
Having the internal shape done in a manner that presents the last gumballs was an idea I had to eliminate the lack of desire someone would have to want the last gumball if the machine had to be filled. 
A fun play on the Mad hatters top hat. The large opening makes it much easier for a child to get the coin in to the machine. 
Making the machines fit togther in a variety of ways is important as realestate is limited and does cost in many malls. 
A fun Alien space ship like concept.
Here we can see that the surfaces are treated every bit as carefully as that of a car. This is what adds to the sub-concious notion of quality. 
This design has a playful non traditional feel to it. 
Here we can see the idea of using different sized clear sections to make an interesting look. We can see this visualized in CAD below. This kind of approach expands the product offering with minimal impact on skew numbers. 
I get distracted sometimes and start doddling cars. Final delivery was of the digital images so I can be a little more loose with the presentation, it is for me to figure out what it is I'm going to do. 
We can see how the almost flat (having some curvature enables us to be able to still see through it) surface picks up the light in certain angles. This would draw the eye to the machine. 
A series of concepts for a much larger vending machine were done. 
A 3D interactive system was proposed.
I proposed that the robotic system could be used with nuts and dried fruit as a healtheir alternative to candy in business centres. The height of the machine and interaction has to consider children.
