Human characteristics added to products
I think we have all seen this before, human faces or bodies likenesses incorporated into products by mistake or by accident. You see it a lot in car headlights and taillights and sometimes some array of buttons on an electronic product seems to form a face on the top side of a remote. Or in the case of the Ikea lamps below the proportion and silhouette of a person is all that is needed. My thoughts on this idea and process are positive. Why not use the human bodily and facial gestures to emphasize the function or character of the product. Human bodies and faces subtleties are easily picked up by other humans and convey a lot of messages. I was sketching around on this little wireless security camera on the right and it evolved into this little guy that had a stern little stance like he was watching me. Waiting for me to screw up so he could rat on me. Quite expressive actually.
