Design Appreciation

Good Designs

This is the Sony Heart-Shaped earphones, easy to wear and can be used for jogging instead of jogging with the iPod in your hands or pocket.

The Thumb drive has a joint cover to protect the nose of the thumb drive, if it was separated, it'd be very easy to lose.












Bad Designs

This Bottle is meant for kids but it has a straw inside which might develop algae after some time. The bite nozzle also looks weird.

Ewwwwww... it's gross. It's actually a hole in the ground.

  2. The sony headphone thing drops off very easily because there is no support for the ear. So i think it is a bad design

    I don't understand what you mean for the thumbdrive cover.

    The bottle is not a bad design, because it will only get algae if you do not wash the straw. And looking weird is not a reason why it is a bad design (I think)

    For the last one, it is not a bad design.. maybe they are too poor to make a urinal. Its not a bad design, just unhygienic.

  4. You just have to buy something shaped like a massive ear digger to wash it. It is not meant for that way, and this bottle is actually good, it also would not grow because there is no sunlight... Science and some general knowledge.... the ear plug thingy is also not good because it is easy to steal. People can just grab that. The toilet hole is maybe for poor people.

  5. I disagree on the headphones as I have tried them on and it looks weird as the back part will be jutting out from your neck and the headphones can easily drop.
    For the bottle, it will only develop algae if you actually lick the straw and anyways you can just ask your parents to wash if the user does not know how to wash(user as in child).
