Design Thoughts

We write software at Liberty, With all good software, you need a blueprint to achieve your final design. Is that sometimes forgotten by companies desiging products? Yes. These are a couple of design examples, in my humble opinion, that went wrong.




Anyone who has tried to open a package of graham crackers can, I hope, empathized with me. It is nearly impossible to open the package without breaking at leaset two to three crackers. Then you have to deal with the crumb problem. Who designed these things?



Here's another one. My wife uses these coffee creamers with the plastic leads. Opening them is not a problem. Pouring is not the problem. It's the post-pour that IS the problem. There is constantly a stream of creamer running down the side because of the spout. Closing the cap sounds like you're breaking the bone of a some small bird-like creature. Not that I'd know by experience. Then once the pathetic lid is closed, it doesn't seal so that next time you shake the container, you've got more cream running down the side. Pathetic.
