Fire and ice baby

This is Trojan's Fire and Ice latex condoms box for 10 condoms. On the box it describes the condoms to give a warming and tingling sensations for both partners. The box colors are divided in two colors that are red violet color and a blue color. Both colors are cool colors and that kind of just throws off the box design. If it says that it is fire and ice, the person buying the condoms would think that fire should be red, red orange. Not red violet. The ice does not matter because blue goes in well with. Another design flaw of the box is that fire and ice remind the consumer of Icy Hot, which is a cream that starts off cool then heats up on the certain part of your body that is causing you pain. Does this work the same for both partners? Starts off cool then heats up? One would only imagine.

Crystal Head


This product is a Crystal Head Vodka bottle. The Crystal Head Vodka bottle was brought to America from Crystal Head Vodka company. The company is from Canada. The alcohol in the bottle is vodka, and it 40% alc./vol. The design of the bottle is of a human skull. This is a great design idea because it is a skull. Lots of people are attracted to the bottle because it is a skull. A design flaw, it would have been impressive if the bottle was as big as a real human skull. However, if the bottle were to be bigger the more alcohol it would contain and the more expensive the bottle would be.

Find a new job.


Jobsintown.de, a German website ran some advertisements promoting "Life's too short for the wrong job". The advertisement above shows a man inside the machine that screens the bag on a monitor showing what you have in the bag. The message of the advertisement is affective from the bat. It is effective to show that a person should not do a job that a machine can do. Jobsintown.de carried more of these ads during 2006, and they were all effective. They all show people closed inside working in cramped spaces.
The meaning behind the advertisement leaves a impact on people, because it makes you wonder. In all these machines there really is not a person doing the job for the machine. The message is simple, if your job sucks quit it if you believe there is a better opportunity out there for you.

NFL Fake Jerseys


The jerseys in the left is a real authentic stitched NFL jersey that starts at off at $150 dollars. The jersey on the right is a fake NFL jersey that is also stitched and start off in some places online for $15 per jersey. These fake NFL jerseys, have the tags from the league, and the rubber seal on the neck area. Fake NFL jersey's has been a growing problems over the years because China has been able to produce close to the real jerseys for a really cheap price. The jerseys range through out all sports, not only the NFL, it has just taken over the NFL because jerseys are expensive.

The idea's of purchasing fake jerseys instead of real jerseys because in the long run it saves you money. In all honestly, not every one is able to tell the difference between a real or fake jersey unless you really stare at the jersey, or tell someone that it is fake. Darren  One of the only problems that is encountered with purchasing fake jerseys is that some creators of the jerseys can tend to make really bad jerseys where the teams last name is misspelled, wrong number or wrong team. Of course, the NFL has been able to close down some of the websites, but it is still a big impossible task to block each website from selling NFL fake jerseys.

One Laptop Per Child


The One Laptop Per Child laptop was a project created by OLPC. There goal is to provide each poor child with access to a low cost laptop. The software, and hardware was designed by the group to promote self learning. With the laptop OLPC helps children in education and learning to share moments together even though they might not have much for themselves. They have five principles that emphasis more then anything else. The first is the kids get to keep the laptops. Second is to focus on early education. Third no kid gets left out, the whole classroom and school gets them the same time. Fourth is each laptop has to be connected to the internet because children need the internet to learn. The fifth is to free and grow and adapt to the child. The software learns per the child and its education.
The design of the computer is rugged, meaning that it has a hard protection all around because children tend to drop things. The laptop has a screen that can be seen outside because most schools in these countries are taken outside. The laptop has long range Wi-Fi. The laptop has a camera built in camera. When the laptop is closed, it has a handle so the children can carry it around, it also has built in keyboard. Or you can flip the laptop screen, close the laptop and make it a tablet. It has one GB flash memory. The laptop can be a standard plug in power supply, it can be changed with batteries or solar powered.

LiquiGlide


This is a bottle invention by LiquiGlide. LiquiGlide created bottles made out of glass and plastic. The bottles were created to improve the flow rate of bottles so it can prevent clogs in the bottles. LiquiGlide lets the solid be added into the bottle, it traps the material, the second material added is a liquid material that creates the solid be able to slide through the bottle. The liquid material is edible, it does nothing to the solid and it does not affect the solids taste.
This is a great idea because most bottles have a problem because when you turn a bottle to the side, the solid clogs up in the bottle. For an example, a ketchup bottle has to be hit on the bottom a couple of times for it to release the solid. The problem in this design is, what if you slide the liquiglide bottle but forget that it slides so easily that you release all the solid liquid onto your plate. It can be messy, but sure the plastic container, or a cap with a little hole release liquid can help.

Beat's Pill


This is the Dr. Dre's beats pill. The pill itself came out back in 2012. It is a portable, bluetooth speaker. The idea of a pill comes a capsule since Beat's once were owned by Dr. Dre. Hence the name, "Dr". The pill is 7.7 inches in length. It uses bluetooth to connect to a device, it also includes audio input and output jacks. They released Beats Characters which are the figures above the image of the pills. The characters head and arms can be moved around so they fit the person. You stick the pill inside the characters mouth and it holds the pill.
The idea of making the pill look like a capsule is kind of ironic because the creator of beats calls himself a doctor. This was the first product released after Beat's left Monster Cable. The design of a capsule should have been a square or a box that can possibly produce more sound. The pill itself has no bass at all, some people enjoy listening to their music with the bass. The pill also comes at a ridiculous price of 200 dollars, when their beat earphones can be bought at 100.
