Basting Spoon Product

Kitchen Basting Spoon Product
"Layered Measuring Component" Style

Yes, you have it correct - it's your basic "nesting style" measurement spoons.

YET - they are all attached to one handle, ding ding ding!

Yea - all the other ideas were already posted...hard to do anything

when the concept is just a basting spoon with lines in it...

Only so much you can do without going overboard...

iPad2 Mobile Stand Product

Round 2. Fight! Hahaha, Mortal Kombat...Okay, okay...

The real deal. So here's the steal. Wait, be back - gotta go get my yogurt from the freezer!!!!

Back - man. Ok. I'm really pushing this concept. Honestly, I believe in it. When someone hates and I "retaliate" hahah just had to rhyme but umm when I make a rebuttal - it sincerely makes me believe in the concept that much more!!! When I start to think about how it should/could be made & the uses, my gosh, my mind flutters like a butterfly. Beeautiful huh? I thought so too...Ummm here's the deal:

I re-submitted the iPad2 Concept. I think this product is money and will create money. Hah. But seriously - I think it will add a new dimension to the iPad2. I'm not posting my images because people get so hook on what the "images" look like compared to the actual concept. I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE CONCEPT NOT THE DESIGN. Once we agree on the concept, then we can move forward and focus on the design...

***[MUST SEE VIDEO ATTACHED]*** We need another iPad2 Accessory= Cash Cow -SERIOUSLY- "Smart Corners" will be great - but let's DIVERSIFY!!!



iPad2 MOBILE STAND*

Grab Hold of the Concept - Not the Design*****

Now is the time to absolutely conquer the iPad2 Accessories market. The iPad market gets saturated in the blink of an eye. If your product can differentiate and is sincerely unique & incredibly useful, then start loading the cash into your pockets.

Here - I developed this iPad2 Mobile Stand. In the iPad2 Brief - I presented the iPad2 Mobile Stand poorly. There was confusion in the focal point. Now - for this brief post - I will focus on the mobile stand - using mainly video presentation and see if I can avoid clouding the concept! How can we create an easy way to maneuver & manipulate the iPad2?!!!?!

How It Will Work: This iPad2 MOBILE Stand will have a snake-extendable arm OR an arm-like feature. Also, it can potentially have a mount that coils the snake/extendable-arm & is used for other purposes & dexterity (The "mount" can be considered but NOT NECESSARY AT ALL*).

The community would have MANY different angles to approach this iPAD2 MOBILE STAND. Please HIGHLY CONSIDER this product. This product is a need for the iPad/iPad2 Market!!!
Submissions to the iPad2 Brief:

MOBILE-EXTENDABLE ARM STAND/MOUNT
Moray
Padsserie
"Flexible Gooseneck"
"Snake-Claw"
"Carrier Case"

MANY DIFFERENT IDEAS FOR PRODUCT DESIGN (Concept Phase)
Anything from the basic snake to an extendable arm device with a mount...
But - keep it simple...I know...
Those are just a few. I'm sure there were more submissions like this concept.

PLEASE REALIZE THERE IS A NEED FOR THIS PRODUCT: People are screaming it out!!! (Obvious NEED)

I do not ever do the $10 brief - but I am so darn convinced about this product that I had to step out more and give it another shot & better presentation. I'm not kidding when I say such things. Please highly consider this iPad2 Mobile Stand...

I just realized I can't post a youtube video because my company banned youtube site. I'll have to post it when I get home - so if for some reason - someone is out there - and theyre reading this blog post and there's no video, welp, hold your horses and I'll get it up later tonight!!! And if you see the video right now, then that means I've already posted it, durr durr durr....

iPad2 Presentation #2  - GRAB HOLD & RUN WITH ME!!!

Photography Product

What the heck? Ah. Man. This brief was nearly impossible for me to think of something, haha...

Photography products mass the markets. There is a ton of saturation up in herrrrr! You had to step out and think outside the black box to capture that tiny pin prick of light and expose a beautiful creation! Bacaww!!!

Honestly, there were/are so many awesome concepts in this brief...I was quite baffled: let me list a few -

Ryan Kent's "Hub"

Denny's "Flash Enhancer"

Amy's Digital Wall Clock

Chris' "PrismaCube"

Jin's iPad USB Memory Stick

For some reason - thusfar - my idea has received a lot of attention: which is good and bad. Hahaha. I love people jumping on board with concepts - but man - I want all attention focused on the iPad2 concept. That is where I'm passionate - that's where I have all my energy! Not to say I'm not passionate about other ideas...In fact, I'm super into videography & editing & a little photography...Whatever my point is - this idea is ho-hum and I hope someone else wins that deserves to win: (i.e.) Denny. Someone who is passionate about photography & really put some quality time into their idea. He has an awesome solution. Honestly. Anyway, I'm talking too much - writing jamble this whole time...(By the way the renderings are horrible).

ALL-IN-ONE Tripod - Bringing the professional equipment to the average consumer!!!

IT'S NOT A CASE - IT'S A MOBILE STAND*****

Problem: the average consumer cannot obtain professional equipment without spending a nice junk of change or figuring out how to make their own professional equipment in their backyard...

Solution: an all-in-one tripod that brings professional equipment to the average consumer at an affordable price in a user friendly manner!!!

How it Works: A tripod with detachable legs that turn into a dolly track. Also, wheels that are either attached to the mini-dolly head or to the bottom of the tripod as a moving dolly. Note - the dolly track can be used as an upside down dolly track as seen in the last figure.

THE CUSTOMER - - - - - A photographer and/or videographer looking for new angles - looking for fun techniques - attempting to break-through the "consumer products" into "professional products available to the consumer." Professional software for the average consumer used to never be available at an affordable price. Now any consumer can purchase or obtain free software that professionals use! The photography equipment is in the other boat. The average consumer has to hand make dollies & dolly tracks or spend a lot of money on such equipment. NOW is the time to put these professionals' equipment into the average consumer's hand!

Key Features

• Convertible Tripod-To-Dolly-Tracks
• Convertible Tripod Dolly-To-Mini-Dolly

Comparisons

• Dolly
• Dolly Tracks
• Tripod-Dolly
• Tripod

All in all, I'm realizing I need to keep my ideas more simple. I over-complicate things. Add too many "features." People have opened my eyes to this fact. Feedback from others is important. The Quirky process has shown me a lot. Cool.

iPad2 Presentation #2 - next post!!!

Bar Tool Concept

The Bar Tool Concept is finishing up it's votes...

Hey peeps - hit the link - leave some seriously-sincere feedback!!!

For some odd-reason this concept popped into my head instantaneously - the moment I was in the middle of the "bar brief video." I'm not sure why - but it did. I couldn't picture anything else. And it was just there. So I did it. I cracked my gnarly fingers and went to work on my Bamboo. I managed to draw this concept fairly quickly. Didn't put too much work into this - but somehow it all came out the way I wanted...Definitely happy with the end result - we'll see what goes down...There are some great shaker concepts...all-in-one packages - yet also new shaker designs...

MAN-O-MAN: "Can I get a Manhattan, Yuengling, & Margarita!" "Coming UP!"

The ability to use a muddler, bottle opener, & more all in one device! WHAT?!??!

Solution: ALL-IN-ONE Killer Anaconda! Bah! Yea - okay - this bar tool incorporates: a muddler, a bottle opener, a cocktail straw/toothpick holder, & a salt dispenser!

How It Works: Simple - there's a top feature with the bottle opener & cocktail straws/toothpick holder that screws on to a bottom with a muddler & salt dispenser.

Why: Alright folks - this bar tool is sleek yet multi-beastly. This tool will make it happen in a flash, without laying down a million tools in front of you. Cool. Need a margarita? Pour down some salt for the cup's rim & crush up some limes! Wanna a beer? Pop it open with the good ole' trusty bottle top opener! Need a straw - or maybe you're a toothpick fan - we'll let you decide what you hold in your top feature!

Key Features

• • ALL-IN-ONE Bar Tool
  • Hidden "Underbelly" Features

Comparisons

• • Muddler
  • Bottle Top Opener/"Church Key"
  • Salt Dispenser
  • Cocktail Straw/Toothpick Holder

Extremely imaginable product. Slap a bottle opener onto a muddler and possibly have it unscrew with other capabilities hidden within...Who Knows...

GUYS! I have exciting news! I am not through with the iPad2 Concept. The idea has really struck a cord inside of me and I can't give up on this product. I need to push onward. Join the journey with me...Next post...iPad2 Concept...again...

Kitchen Rail Renderings

Kitchen Rail Renderings: 1 Day Left

"Tiled-Slide Rail" Style - Kitchen Rail

This concept is quite simple. There are two main pieces that are replicated into production to produce a "package" for the kitchen rail system. One is the slab - this sucker mounts to the wall or underneath a cabinet. The slab has grooves running down the middle & mounting holes. You can slide another slab into a slab's grooves to create a vertical or horizontal shelf. You can also slide peg-hooks into the slabs. The peg-hooks are used to hold glasses, etc. or hook items such as kitchen utensils, etc. This "tiled-slide kitchen rail" is fully customizable. You can create so many looks with just two different objects: the slab & the peg-hook.

The Quirky community pointed out flaws with current concept designs; therefore, I took those flaws and used them to my advantage and came up with a concept design as close to bringing closure as I could.

iPad2 Mobile Stand Product

iPad2 Product - It's What I Promised.

Now is the time to absolutely conquer the iPad2 Accessories market. The iPad market gets saturated in the blink of an eye. If your product can differentiate and is sincerely unique & incredibly useful, then start loading the cash into your pockets.

Here - I developed this iPad2 Mobile Stand. On Quirky's site - I presented the iPad2 stand poorly. There was confusion in the focal point. The backpack clouded the view of what product I wanted in the limelight. Now - for this blog post - I will focus on the mobile stand pictures and see if I can avoid clouding the concept!

iPad2 NEEDS FACE-TIME, Photography, HD Videoing, etc. etc. ON-THE-GO! How can we create an easy way to maneuver & manipulate the iPad2?!!!?!

IT'S NOT A CASE - IT'S A MOBILE STAND*****

PROBLEMS:
HANDS-FREE-ACCESS-On-The-Go-EASE
1. Face-Time On-The-Go - Free of Hands! (Front/Back Cameras)
2. iBook: Reading Gets Tiresome - Free of Hands! (Back Camera)
3. Photography with a Group or By Ones Self - Free of Hands! (Front/Back Cameras)
4. HD Videoing Ones Self (Front Camera) - Vlogs, Running, Transportation (Train, Subway, Car, Planes), Ill-Sick, Shopping, etc. - Free of Hands! (Front Camera)
5. HD Videoing Situations (Back Camera) - Cooking, Biking, Climbing, Skateboarding, Fishing, Animals, Documentaries, etc. - Free of Hands!
6. Watching Movies - Free of Hands! (Front Camera)
7. iPad Apps: "Mirror," Alarm Clock/Stand, GPS (Lay the Plastic Pad Flat on dashboard), Video Games, - ALL Free of Hands! (Front/Back Cameras)

SOLUTION:
iPad2 MOBILE STAND. A MOBILE STAND that lays flat or buckles to loops on the outside of a backpack, pants, etc. If attached to an object - extend the retractable (flexible-steel rotating) arm and position the iPad at any angle desired. If you want to use it as a laptop, then lay it flat. If you want to video yourself & edit it or do Face-Time then angle the front toward you. If you want to video something in front of you - angle it toward the scene (back camera captures scene).

 

Key Features

• FREE HANDS: Exploring the Capabilities of the iPad2
• Manipulate the space & direction of the iPad2
• Dynamic Plastic Pad creates versatile situations: backpack, pants, ground, etc.
• Allows for iPad Smart Cover to be in use at ANY TIME

BBQ Cooking Product

We are in the midst of BBQ Product Eval!

What's going on behind closed doors? Who knows - hopefully a great decision is being made!

Nonetheless, my BBQ product is a little much...I highly doubt it will even be featured on their video. I do not "pimp" my products so it's extremely difficult to get on their radar. My main hope rests in the iPad product. I have a lot of confidence in my concept and I know it could be a real head-turner. Nevertheless, there are 4 similar products, which knocks my chances of being picked - down to almost zero. I spent a lot of time on those renderings so maybe I could pursue it over at kickstarter - that is if I don't get picked at Quirky...

ALL-IN-ONE BBQ Cooking Tray, Serving Tray, & Accessories - WOAH! Smokin BABY!!!

"ClickNGrill" - Oh YEA! Inspiration from the Good Ole' ClickNCook!!!

PROBLEM: Too Many Things To Do While You Barbecue (Rhymed) - Come On Now - WE WANT SOMETHING THAT CAN DO IT ALL & IS EASY TO CLEAN!

MY SOLUTION: ALL-IN-ONE BBQ Cooking Tray, Serving Tray, & Accessories

This ALL-IN-ONE BBQ Master will absolutely BLOW YOUR MIND! My gosh. The BBQ Platform includes: a cooking tray, which is used on the grill and moved back onto the serving tray via a "pick-up ring," which leads me to the serving tray - used for both pre-grilling and post-grilling, it is lined with silicone layer for easy cleanup! In addition, it has a plastic cover to keep foods warm & keep insects away. Inside the bottom of the serving tray are accessory ports, which holds salt, pepper, RE-FUELABLE lighter, & fork/temperature gauge. Also, the middle port is for the handle when transporting the tray as a whole. Therefore, the handle is the last part - which makes this whole thing so unique. (INSPIRATION FROM CLICKNCOOK)

Note: The handle will appropriately have the steel partly inside and partly outside of the plastic tray - to create leverage - so the handle will be able to support all the weight and not snap in half...(IF THE WEIGHT IS STILL TOO MUCH, then maybe there can be a new design with an additional handle - making two ports on the end with two handles to hold.

Note2: The cooking tray/serving tray has a "back rim" that helps avoid losing any foods off onto the grill or ground.

Note3: The handle could also have a flash light built in. People like being able to see their food cooking under dark conditions. This could solve that problem.

Key Features

• "ClickNGrill" w/Accessories: Salt & Pepper, Lighter, & Fork/Temperature Gauge
• Sleek Serving Tray: Keeps Food Hot + Fresh With Lid & Metal Tray
• Multi-Use Metal Cooking Tray w/Easy Moving "Pick-Up Ring"
• EXTREMELY EASY TO CLEAN

Comparisons

• THIS MULTI-FUNCTIONAL, UBER-INTENSE, BBQ MASTER HAS NO OTHER CONTENDERS: except the individuals.
• Lighter
• Temperature Gauge
• Metal Cooking Tray
• Serving Tray
• Salt & Pepper Holders

Yea - this sucker - is a product from 2030 - your mind can't handle it! It's okay, just wait for 2040, then maybe - maybe - you'll be able to process it's power!

Oh by the way - iPad2 Product Brief VOTING - I have a concept that will blow your mind! NEXT POST!

Rubber Hook & Cup Holder Renderings

Check it Out PEoples! Here's my rubber hook & cup holder product design....

Rubber Hook

Cup Holder

Kitchen Sink Product

Did I say I'd post my wife's submission today? I think so - and here it is folks!

She definitely killed it with her concept: I really liked it.

Nonetheless, a lot of people mentioned Andrea's kitchen mittens would "do-it-all" and there was no need for this - also - someone sent some patent crap about it - I dont know...She has no idea what's going on anyway - no clue when it's over - nothing - hahaha - so I'm sure her feelings aren't hurt either way...

Whimsical, multi-functional rubber gloves used to tackle even the toughest grime without making a mess of your manicure.

To tackle the dreaded burden of washing the dishes, I've designed SCRUBgloves. These whimsical, multi-functional gloves will have you looking forward to your next battle with bakes on grease!

PROBLEMS:
1. Manicure gets mangled when washing dishes without gloves.
2. Heat from the water and chemicals from soap dries out even the most supple of hands.
3. Current multi-functional gloves on the market are not dishwasher safe and are a breeding ground for bacteria.
4. Regular gloves do nothing in regard to actually removing grime from dishes.

 

SOLUTION:
Rubber scrubber whisker pads attached to cheerful, whimsical kitchen gloves. Inside of gloves possibly infused with vitamin E.

HOW IT WORKS:
It's simple! The rubber scrubber whisker pads remove debris of food and aid in the process of washing dishes while protecting hands and nails from harsh temperatures and chemicals.

Key Features

• Dishwasher Safe -Rubber Scrubber Whiskers!
• Extended Lifetime!
• Whimsical Design - Sure to brighten up any kitchen!

Comparisons

• Sponge Kitchen Gloves
• Regular Kitchen Gloves

Product Review - coming soon! Come back to check it out!

By the way - I obviously did her renderings, too - if you need renderings and are willing to pay for them, then let me know - we can collaborate your idea into a visual that will easily show what you are thinking!
