This is the Dash Arctic Chill Blender. This blender is used to keep blended items cold on the go. After looking at this appliance it is clear to me that the design constraint here is the physical property of color or material used to manufacture it. This can be seen as an inherent physical constraint. This blender is made out of stainless steel to keep the smoothie or blended substance; after blending presumably cold. Now, think about this. How will you be able to see whether or not your smoothie or blended substance is fully processed?
In order to inspire others I would need to lead by trial and error. I would most likely place fruit, vegetables, and ice in this blender. Then, I would begin blending. While blending, I am going to question my viewers on whether or not they think my fruits, veggies and ice are finished processing. After this is done I will simply pour the substance into a glass. This will help me prove the point on how the material that was used to manufacture this item previously should have been something that was transparent and easy to see through.
My first step toward the design solution would be to substitute the stainless steel with a more transparent material such as plastic or glass. My second step would be to consider the fact that the name of this item is called the “Arctic Chill Blender”. Which means that I would have to take into accountability what is being advertised. I would then, combine two materials together to make a sleeve for this blender so that buyers can take the container of blended items on the go, as well as, remaining chilled. I will combine aluminum and silicone to create a sleeve for the outside of this container. The aluminum will be on the inside of the sleeve (keeping the substance cold) and the outside of the sleeve will be silicone (which acts as a grip for handling this item). My third step is to make sure to adapt the item to different locations such as, car holders, backpacks etc.. After this is done I would minimize the length of this object and maximize the width of it; entirely making this object shorter and thicker. I will then elaborate on the idea that this object can be taken on the go as well as being an easy and durable fit for customers especially those rushing places. While reviewing this product, I will also take into accountability the preferences some people may have on color patterns of the sleeves they are going to receive for their new appliances, making them more appealing. I will rearrange patterns and colors of the sleeves; creating grooves, patterns, and colors best fitting for each customer. This is my design process to REVAMP this item!
