Frusion



Frusion is a package design concept container for individual fruits. This packaging design concept is intended for parents who would like their children to increase their daily fruit intake. This is a creative method to encourage children to eat fruits at a young age and develop long term healthy eating habits. The adorable fruit package container is simple but eye caching. The eyes located on the cap give the container an animated characteristic that is sure to attract young kids. The arrangement of the fruit in the container works well, especially the orange in the blue container. Together they create a high contrast that captures even more the attention of the target audience. This product would be great to sell at delis and neighborhood markets such as Fresh & Easy. If this product ever goes under production, my suggestion would be to offer the package containers with sliced fruit salad instead of individual fruits that already have a natural packaging. It would also be interesting to add a green Frusion container with veggies to the collection.

Slice of Summer



Kleenex tissues have been around for almost eighty years. Their packaging design has evolved many times since production. In summer 2010, Kleenex launched a very unique creative packaging design that captured many consumers attention. The tissue box is made out of cardboard box that resembles a slices of fruit. It is offered in a variety of fruit designs like watermelon, pineapple, kiwi, and orange. The colors are vivid and used in a clever way to spark the audience curiosity from a distance. The amount of detail on the design is incredible; it seems so realistic and mouthwatering. Placed around other competing brands it automatically steals the show. It is a great way to bring a bit of summer joy to the office. This product can be improved by replacing the tissues with scented tissues that have a subtle scent of the fruit depicted on the tissue box.

The product is easy to use, simply add the batter to the dog bone molds and let it bake just like a waffle iron. The baking time is fast, it takes up to eight minutes for four dog bone treats to bake. The design is cute yet modern. It is shaped as a bone and its chrome exterior gives the product a stylish appearance. The bake-a-bone baking pan is also available in three different colors. This product is great for dog owners who care for the well being of their furry friends, it gives them the control to give their dog healthy delicious preservative free treats. The only suggestion for this product would be to add removable iron plates so there will be a variety of dog treat molds to choose from.

Nail Polish Strips



In 2010, Sally Hansen introduced a new product invention to its nail polish collection. Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips changed the traditional liquid nail polish form into nail polish stickers. It is the ideal nail polish for any girl; it won’t smear, it doesn’t need time to dry up, it’s easy to use, and they are available in a variety of designs. Besides the 16 strips, the kit includes a nail file and a cuticle stick. Since their launch they’ve increased their design variation which helps them maintain their popularity. There are approximately twenty-two different nail strip styles that fit any personality. The Salon Effects Strips come in bright or muted solid colors and in patterns. The patterns are beautifully detailed, something that is not achievable using the traditional liquid nail polish. This product is intended for the modern girl that doesn’t have time to sit and wait for her nails to dry up. The application process is simple and easy. This is a great way to achieve a gorgeous long lasting salon quality manicure. The only suggestion for this product would be to find a way to advertise it to a wide rang of women instead of just teenage girls.

Filtered Water Bottle




A few years ago designer Karim Rashid created a product that has made it possible for people to drink tap water without the risk of ingesting pollutants. Water Bobble is a water bottle that has attached to its cap a filter that removes chlorine and other contaminants while removing the unpleasant taste tap water usually has. This product is great for anyone who is tired of spending so much money on packs of water bottles and who would like to be kinder to the environment. The Bobble is an environmental friendly product; it reduces plastic waste because of its re-usability. The replacement filter lasts up to 300 uses, depending on the bottle size. Both the bottles and the replacement filters come in a variety of vivid colors offering the fun option to mix and match. The Bobble bottle is a simple product with a great idea behind it. It has created awareness and a “water revolution” movement to reduce the consumption of water bottles and plastic waste. The only suggestion for this product would be to install some sort of meter on the filter to let the user know when to replace the filter.
