PROJECT 1: EXPERIENCE ENRICHMENT





"PIPO" SNACK CRUSHER









This snack crusher is targeted for toothless elderly people and it is basically mortar and pestle. This tool might help elder people to enjoy the snacks they might missed tasting it. In making this snack crusher, so many things has influenced me. I was inspired by Javanese culture where elder people have to crush their food before eat. The types of food that can be crushed by this tool are peanuts, biscuits, and any other snacks.

"Pipo" snack crusher allows elder people to eat snacks by crushing it with the mortar. The plastic and rubber material produced a lightweight yet strong tool which make it portable. This tool also has a lid that prevent the snacks to fly everywhere while crushing it. I've chosen bright colour to boosten up appetite and this tool has been design in hand-held size. Another feature is the inner part of the pestle has rounded edge thus the mortar can reach every edge of the pestle and it also easy to wash.

    If I turned old and fragile, I would want you to make that for me, but I'd like it to come with a spoon as well. That way I won't need to move around or call for a spoon.

    I really like your concept and the poster that you made for the product. I think it's eyecatching and you picked suitable colors for it as well.

    My only criticism is that the bottom of the handle is round-shaped, and I think it makes it harder to crush food compared to if it was flat.

    I admire how you achieved such a finish with blue foam and i like the overall form of your product.
    Your poster fits well with your target market and seems like a very light-hearted approach.

    I like your idea of a snack crusher for toothless elerdy people! The colour you chose and the poster you made expressed the emotion that you want the user to have very well. It's surely a product that will make people happy and smile.

    really cool product, only real thing i pick up straight away is the poster seems alittle sexual and kinda disturbing. but the design is sleek and the colour scheme is nice. the model looks really pro, good job.
