How to / make a paper airplane


New concept:
Today Joel introduced an idea to the group, to incorporate the idea of a jet set into more of a board game, we believe this would be a lot more appealing to a wider audience. The main idea is to create a small box or wallet type pack as a transportation device which may also turn into runway, it being a large element of the game, with in the pack there is an instructions manual on how to make a paper air plane, how to fly it, and initially win the game.
This was just a rough beginning idea we introduced in the crit with amber and jo

Crit:
Our crit feedback left us a little puzzled, unsure where to take the idea, scrap it and start again or re-think the concept, and what we could really do with the the ‘how to’

We all went away, and game up with a few new idea.

New concept:
Here is the email i sent to the group, a concept i thought could work really well for out how to. 


---------

I have an idea. Totally out of the box, but thats sort of what amber said to do also to go back to research. So, i was thinking literally think of paper as a messaging service (letter, fax, birthday cards etc), not as a toy, (just forget the jet set for a second).
So..
The paper plane sends a message from a sender to a receiver. for a certain reason.
Giving that a plane is a model that delivers, i was thinking to take the literal concept and apply it to a relevant purpose and make the material used, useful/ appropriate.
By sending a message i mean, birthday wish, wedding invite, valentine card etc (so this would be an unusual type of card to receive, but we could have different designs for different messages)
Also this is going off amber's feedback 'crafting' it for a less obvious reason than for a toy
So then i was thinking usually people keep track of all the dates important to them (birthdays etc) on a calendar (written or digital)
Therefore some sort of hand craft calender/ paper plane card folding/ message sender/i phone app.
