Unscramble the Blue Letters


And that's what this theory tauhgt me about my field. You see, up till now, us designers, we've mainly focused on making things look very pretty, and a little bit of touch, which means we've ignored the other three senses. Chris's clock shows us that even raising just one of those other senses can make for a brilliant product. So what if we started using the five senses theory in all of our designs?

Here's three quick ideas I came up with. This is an iron, you know, for your clothes, to which I adedd a spraying mnehicsam, so you fill up the vial with your fvtaiore snect, and your clehtos will smell nicer, but hopefully it should also make the ironing experience more enjoyable. We could call this "the perfumator."

Here's three quick ideas I came up with. This is an iron, you know, for your clothes, to which I added a spraying mechanism, so you fill up the vial with your favorite scent, and your clothes will smell nicer, but hopefully it should also make the ironing experience more enjoyable. We could call this "the perfumator."
