WTF?

These is a blackberry energy drink that uses good flakes instead of sugar. Looks like vodka, so it's definitely appealing. The packaging is visually pleasing, it's pretty and demands attention by the WTF? acronym, which would be appealing to a younger generation. The sugar free drink contains carbonated water, blackberry extract, vitamin c, ginseng, niacin, Vitamin B6, B12, Gold flakes and 0.4% Taurin and 0.03% caffeine. This is for people who want an energy beverage that doesn't have sugar and maybe for people who enjoy the taste and like the design. It is intended to be used not in the United States, since the flakes are questionable. Since it's release the vodka version is now available, making it confusing because the design on the label is almost the same. It's a good idea because it is appealing and it's fine the way it is.

Solar Forest

The Solar Forest is panels that follow the sun throughout the day. This idea is based on the fact that it charges electric cars while still providing shade for cars parked under it. The tree trunks are power strips for electric vehicles and you can plug your car to get recharged. It was designed by Neville Mars. This is for electric car owners, and can work as stations in places where there’s not many of them. This could work where it’s mostly sunny, like Palm Springs, Coachella, Vegas and other desert like places. This is an inspiring concept, something like this is needed. The only problem would be in places that it’s not as sunny, then this wouldn’t be as useful. This is a great concept and with more help and funding it could be beneficial for everyone. Promote more electrical cars and less dependance on oil. 

Hidden message?

From up close, this very serious looking image of committing to success looks harmless, but from far away, it looks like it says commit suicide. The idea of this is to promote a serious view in committing to be successful, but it's too serious. The black, the font make it look like a prevention image instead. It's intended to be shared through social medias but it's not hopeful. The materials were chosen to give it a serious approach. This idea has been used in many different ways, but this idea is anything but successful. It sucks, who wants to be motivated with this? It could be improved by changing the background colors and going with a different typeface. No one needs subliminal messages, even if it wasn't intended that way. 

Solar Charger

The Window Solar Charger can be used to power your smartphone through sunlight from the window. The charger is a rechargeable lithium battery that holds 1400mah of electric charge. The way it works it converts solar energy into electricity through an electro-chemical process. The solar panel gathers and stores the energy into the internal battery. This is useful for people who want to charge their phones but are not neat any power outlets, people who are at the beach or a park. Or people who want to save electricity by using natural resources at their house or while they work. air is intended to be used while it’s sunny. The materials in this design were chosen because it can stick to any window, it can be used at home, in the car, or at the office. The energy is completely green, as it is all collected through solar panels on the window facing side of the device. There’s an indicator that glows red when receiving charge, and turns green when the onboard battery is full. You can lay it flat on a table near a window or you could use the 3 mm thick silicone ring to stick it on to the glass of the inside of a window. Both sides of the ring are sticky, and when this no longer is sticky, you can just wash it & air dry it. One of the flaws and complaints from this design is the silicon sticky ring, I think it could be bet use a different method to be stick on windows, like suction cups. And this idea should be used for laptops and other electrical products as well.

Essentially saving you time to go to the store, or having to store so many bottles at once.
This product is intended to be used at home on multi-surfaces. Something that could be be a problem is the name of the product.
