Design A Speaker

A project from my first year in college, the task was to create a final design through expansive idea

generation, concept development model making. I focused mainly on developing my

appreciation for aesthetics and user interface

take inspiration from

Excellent examples of simple

well executed user interface

Out of Box Experience

A project sponsored by Fleming Medical. I had to re-design the packaging and instructions for the

OMRON Blood Pressure monitor. The end goal being to display the necessary information to the

user in a much simpler and inviting way

Out of Box Experience: Original Packaging & It’s Flaws Eoin McGrath

Omron logo is the largest text

on the packaging but does not

communicate anything about

the product

The actual product description is

the least dominant text displayed

and does not read well due to

background colour transition

behind the text.

Unexplained symbols at the

base of the packaging are

not effective at informing the

consumer of the unique

features of the product

Blue gradient graphic does nothing

but clutter the packaging. Text

placed upon the transitioning colours is harder to read.

Out of Box Experience: Original Instruction Manual Eoin McGrath

During research no participants consulted the instructions. When questioned about this it

was agreed that the instructions were a “last resort” for any product. However each

participant also stated that the size of the instruction manual was off-putting.

Need: A Quick Start Guide for the “Real Life User”
