I'am studying product design as a undergraduate and my project is focusing on the properties of algae and how we can try to implement it in our lifestyles. I want to focus on two aspects of seaweed. The colour and the material. I want to try to make a fascinating material to replicate synthetic ecological unfriendly products. I am gathering a variety of seaweeds but as a designer, I don't know how to approach my experimentations and what ingredients to use. It would mean a lot to get information on how to approach this problem. Many thanks!
