Project Brief

Product Design: Design | Features

Here are a few features we propose adding to the sling design, given our internal research, as well as the research you provided us with.

Its important that we not only have cool designs / patterns printed on a sling.. but design a cooler/better sling all together.

Please rate the different features, as well as vote for your two favorites.

RECAP OF BRIEF:

A lot of people break their arms, and are required to wear slings. The problem with these slings is that they are boring, only the color blue ? Why can’t there be a pink sling for girls ? or a Powerpuff Girls Sling for young girls ?

Sling Stories are slings with pictures on how you got your injury, like falling down the stairs, saving a princess from an evil monster, rescuing a drowning kitten, or being a victim of Dick Cheney and other cool stuff.

These will be sold in hospitals and drug stores. Parents will buy these for their kids to make them feel better. Kids will love it, because they could show it off to their classmates and be a hero.

Injured people who wear slings, wear it for weeks or even months, give them something fashionable, something funny, something wearable

    Marcus raises a good point regarding the sweating as the plastic and cast in contact especially on a hot day would most likely cause this and obviously casts are not meant to get wet.

    This idea would need to be decided when the theme is decided as putting a clear pouch would eliminate any room for art work or images. I don't think this is something that would sell however.

    I don't think people are going to go out and break their arm to get one. After all, people see our arms everyday. However, with Marcus's insite about the sweat and Stacy's mood application you might have something their. What would sweat look like? Blue? Red?

    My only concern is that if it contacts skin, expect heavy sweating to occur.

    I like this one. Maybe we can extend the clear pouch to the edges to make it look fashionable.

    I think of this more of a decorate option than a design feature. I wouldn't want it on all the slings, but it would certainly fit the mood sling!
