This blog is dedicated to Jesse and Tori's Wednesday evening section of Principles of Experience Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Winter 2008.
WHO is it fun for? all of us - cheap students trying to save up: ID PEOPLE (like creative objects), Hipsters (looks ghetto/ hippy), Res Rats (who collect coins or are saving up) WHY is it fun? This is a hilarious idea. As much as it is basic, it is mocking the trouble and unpleasant moment of having a baby - you feed it, it empties the processed food ($) in the dippers! This is why adults or teens, who have experience with babies relate and appreciate the joke. HOW is it fun? The cardboard box creates brown skin color, while the white bands are the dippers, the baby even has little shoes, dressed in baby blue colors and milk green is has the basic features of a baby! It is smiling with big dollar signs in its eyes, showing the today society's values. Parents see children as an investment, due to the amount of money that needs to be spent on them. There are holes at the front and back of the box, for - mouth and buttocks. The mapping of this toy could be improved by perhaps hinting toward the hole of the mouth with a coin coming out (drawn on the box) as if a tongue out and having some kind of arrow to know where the money will come out from.
