I found many interesting and funny japanese products. Some made me doubt if they were actually real products. I found this one, TOPLAND Etiquette Checker and I think it would be a good one for my project.
This small gadget lets you know how bad your breath smells.
The website I found it in is in Japanese but they have a link for English. The official ad and the words on the product are in Japanese.
Im planning to use a more humorous approach to my designs. Target market agest 16-30
i like the gadget, you should totally do it.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a home pregnancy test at first.
ReplyDeleteSince it's a breath checker, you could also add a compartment for mints, just in case you land in the red.
I also thought it looked like a pregnancy test when I first saw it. Fransisco's idea for the mint compartment is actually pretty cool. My suggestion would be to take the smiley/frowny faces out and replace them with just color LED's, it may make it seem less cheesy (although I understand you're taking a humorous approach on this).
ReplyDeleteI don't know if a humorous approach is necessary, I can see this as a serious product to keep in your house hold bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a place to hold mints or a small toothbrush.
I think this is a great product to work with. I see young kids using it for dates and adults for when they are finished eating and stuff :)
ReplyDeletein another picture i found for this product, it says "let's become a sociable person." I guess finding out if your breath stinks makes you become sociable...?
ReplyDeleteGood, because everyone needs a little humor!!!!!! Good product and taking it seriously would kill it!
