Favorite Product Design

My favorite product is the ipod touch.

It is an amazing device that has email, a calendar, the weather, notes, and internet connection, alerts, a camera and  in one device.  It has a huge variety of apps that provide tools, games, resources and more.  It is constantly being updated through wifi, and keeps getting better and better.  

Product Description

Non-Functional Product: Butterfly Talker

Let's you speak to butterflies in a way they can understand.


Functional Product: Smeller Watch

For people who can't smell, it is a watch that also detects certain common or dangerous scents and alerts you of their presence.  The lower left sensor detects scents, and the upper right speaker allows for loud alerts, with varying volume for different scents.

"How to Ruin a Great Design" reaction

I agree, I can see how something such as an oversized first letter can distract you, particularly when driving, and make the sign generally useless and possibly counterproductive.  Useful designs should be simple, bold, and attention grabbing as a whole.  I also understand how sometimes over perfecting an image or design can take away from it's quality- you may need to just keep it simple and to the point.
