A aesthetic model was then made to show what the product may look like without ruining the working model. Two parts were added to the model: an aerial to communicate with the receiver (this can be used to hang off clothing or other objects), and a belt clip to clip from the waist (human interaction or accidental force may knock it from other parts of the body/clothing). The two prongs represent the water sensor. The belt clip was placed in a wrong position on the device therefore it could be caught or be in the way, the sensor is too exposed and needs protection.

The final aesthetic model. I made the model thinner so it's easier to use. Hand grips were added for extra grip whilst holding. The sensors have added protection. I kept the design consistent through angling the corners.
