Project Two - Derek Riordan





































1) The Delinquent Toolkit - A specially designed toolkit for any aspiring delinquent. Comes with the bare essential tools like a crow bar, hack saw, hammer, thick gloves, screw drivers, as well as more scientifically destructive items like potassium, thermite, magnesium wicks, and loctite. Basically everything a delinquent needs to fuck shit up.
2) What Would a Ninja Do? - Whenever one needs guidance in life, and God just doesn't seem to hear you, then you can turn to the WWND button. Simply push the button on this little hand held plastic toy, and it will tell you how to proceed in life, with excellent advice like "Unleash Fury", "Smash Something", "Stealth Attack", or "Show No Mercy". Like looking to the bible for guidance but way cooler.
3) Switch Cutlery - Stylish portable cutlery reminiscent of the switch blade for any hungry badass.
4) Custom Rubber Wrist Bands - Like the rubber wrist bands you see people wear so often but customized to your cause or whatever you believe in, such as spite, apathy, rage, cannibalism, ninjas, or meat.
5) Society's Underbelly In-Action Figures - Action figures modeled after the less than reputable members of society like the crack head above. Others could include the hooker, the dealer, the pimp, and so on.
6) Stealth Flask - A flask disguised as something else (like a cell phone) for any on-the-go alcoholic who is too ashamed to drink openly in public but not ashamed enough to stop drinking.

My partner is Derek Riordan.

1) The Delinquent Toolkit

The idea is very simplistic yet quite intriguing. The target audience that we are designing for may not be that useful, but humorous nonetheless. As far as if it is fun, it really reminded me at first of just a basic toolkit, but then with those tricky chemicals it stepped it up a notch. Secondly, I'm not too sure if females would take to this toy or version of fun.

2) What Would Ninja Do?

This is probably one of the most hilarious ideas. Derek and I conversed on MSN Messenger and struggled to think of how he would construct this. I will say this:

If he wants voice recognition, cell phones have the ability to in fact do so. Again, I don't know how well it would go over, but. If you create a new contact and set your cell to use voice recognition it may work.

Otherwise, for the target audience, it would only target those that know of the WWND comics or whatever.

3) Switch Cutlery

I love this idea. Not only is it environmentally amazing, its something I would prefer due to hygienic reasons. I personally don't like lunch ladies fingering my plastic utensils, especially since they are so bitter about life. It would be fun also if the switch cutlery was customizable or something along those lines.

4) Custom Rubber Wrist Bands

Not to be rude, Derek, but this is probably my least favorite idea. lol. It has been done before, and the fad is thankfully over with.

5) Society's Underbelly In-Action Figure

This idea is kinda harsh, but I like it also. I don't know if these stereotypes would be fun to play with though. It may be more fun in a 3D pop up book, or like make your own picture book.

6) Stealth Flask

If you could manage to make the phones battery somewhat waterproof this would be genius. Probably my second favorite idea. Very applicable to our age group also, especially those that are unable to drink at certain all age events, and it wouldn't allow them to carry a large amount to get absolutely wasted on.

Cheers Derek.

Will the Ninja kit include enough tools to beat the clearly superior Pirate?
