Ever since Henry Ford’s invention of the conveyer belt, the production of a product would never be the same. Now these everyday products could be mass produced in minutes, packaged, and sent to a consumer on the other side of the world in a matter of days. In this blog entry we will at an everyday product with is widely used in the computer world to store data and that product is the USB.
Now of course not all USB’s are the same ranging from many sizes, shapes, and materials, but Marvin the Pirate by Jacopo Rosati is one of the many designs which sticks out. The form of the object is that of a cartoon pirate which at first glance appears to be a figure of a toy. It is not until you pull on its head that the true function of the product becomes clear in the usage of the product to be used as a USB memory stick.
Just by looking at the design, a person can find many distinctive qualities about it. The designer uses three basic colors which constitute the piece by using black, white and only one of the three primary colors red. There are a lot of curvilinear lines going on throughout the product and only having one rectilinear line towards the bottom on the piece (excluding the metal piece of the USB which connects to the computer). The primary purpose the rectilinear line is so the item could stand on its own, giving it an additional function in regards of a display piece in a room. The haptic part of the piece appears to be smooth to the touch having no rough or jagged edges.
