amazing toaster



The reason i chose this design is that i had seen a lot of other very impressive designs that incorporated technology but this design seems a lot more simple, engaging , and fun. what it is is a electronic message pad that burns your message on to toast. It is a great design because anyone can use it, it doesn't really target a certain age or gender the only requirement is that the user eats toast. It is simple anyone who can write or draw can use it . The toaster is colourful and visually appealing making it more engaging to the user. It also allows the user to be creative and have fun with the product. my favourite elements about this design is how stream line the toaster looks, i think that even if it were to just toast the bread with out the message it would be impressive because toaster are ussually bulky and not visually interesting. also i like how the designers took complicated technology and used it for novelty purposes which is rarely seen, it is refreshing to see technology used in this way. this design also includes a variety of spaces that could hold this toaster because it is so small it would easily fit in to the kitchen in a small apartment were it might have to be stored in a small space. so overall it has good interaction design characteristics because it is compact, colourful, easy to use, and interactive as well as engaging.
