"You did a great job and knowing of  your experiences could of helped many of us, so I hope this will be shared.  I went to CCS, and I recommend CCS if the desire of the student is to be an automotive designer."

"I can share that this idea went through an HCD design process at a large cup supplier, was then trialed in the US, and proved to be successful to educate consumers and create action to recycle EPS cups in store, and all design rights plus supporting data given with no strings attached (because it would keep EPS cup sales) to a global manufacturer of collection systems.   A company that could competitively create consumer products from the recycled EPS existed (exists).  Corporations that owned businesses which would use this system did not feel that implementation would generate more profit or was a benefit to brand stories because of the cost to change consumer perception."

"I'm used to dislikes, I'm an industrial designer.  :)  The most interesting bit about the project was learning all the different ways single serve food packaging WAS used to harm someone."

"Emily,  Generic meal serving containers for pre prepped meals for a supplier, most of the packaging goes to low risk facilities.  The point was not to design for them, but make all the containers sold by the company meet the criteria to eliminate SKU's"

"Great article, this is an area of design never mentioned.   In my line of work I have designed food packging for prisons, one of the design criteria is that none of the packaging can be used as a weapon."

"The piece in the 9th photo hanging on the wall is the very first doggie treat dinosaur cookie cutter, he probally did that after hitting his head on one of those rocks.  Little did he know what an inspiration it was when Andy Warhol found it, gave it to Jeff Koonz and together they conspired to create pop art."

"Rain,  if you go again, please notice the hot rod artists that line th ewalls on the lower level.  This part of the show is called "Artists Alley"  and several of the artists are designers from the OEM's and product designers (me).  Jeep, GM, Ford, some of the artists have ID degrees although they went straight to art.  Just something to add on.  I grew up going to these shows, some crazy stuff and wild solutions to problems you didn' know existed."
