Angry Cactus Sprinkler
In one of the meetings with our sales representatives, they commented about how 'violent' the sprinkler technology seems depending on the water pressure from the end-user's garden faucet. Most of the sprinkler items in the market cater to young kids, with cute characters as their theme.
This prompted me to change my design for a sprinkler, giving it a character that fits the tech but is very appealing to the target market.
Traditionally, designing cute characters for kids is the way to go. But going outside what is usually done works with a keen observation of the market, some creativity, and making it work!
"Coming up with the idea of an Angry Cactus character as a sprinkler is all a product of THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX and EMBRACING THE CACTUS, as they say."
