Who would have thought so many details go into the renovation of a toothbrush. After inspecting my poorly designed toothbrush, I realized it really was crappy. So the question is, how do I redesign this product in a manor that coincides with the 10 commandments of good design!? I am really excited to work with my group and it will be interesting to see what we come up with.
During class today my group talked a lot about the environmentally friendly aspects of our product. We discussed what the bristles are made of and we discovered that they are made of synthetic fibers. The though of my teeth scraping against a chemically made piece of fiber sounds nasty, but it the fibers have been used for years. Before synthetic fibers were popular, the bristles where made of cellulose fiber, which I am still confused as to what that is. I plan on doing more research and either learning that synthetic fibers are really not that bad, or that there is an alternative that is more environmentally friendly and doesn't gross me out!
That's all for nowzies.
