Core 77 Design Challenge – Hottest Product of 2020

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:01:16 +0000

Core77 ran a one hour design challenge that I was inspired by the other week.
Unfortunately, they closed the contest due to lack of participants before I submitted the final rendering of my idea.

So as not to let my one hour go to waste I’m posting it here for my own amusement. If you find this, then I hope you enjoy it :]

BRIEF:
Now that we’ve finished off the first decade of the Millenium, it’s time to start thinking about where we’ll be
in another ten years. Which trends will dominate? Which brands will rise and which will fall? Who will
fill the Billy Mays vacuum? Answer these questions and more by showing us what you believe will be
THE HOTTEST PRODUCT OF 2020.
