Discover

Analysis Becomes Insight

Through intensive design research and strategic evaluation, frog gains insight into a client’s brand identity, consumer base, existing assets, and key market opportunities. Using this knowledge as a springboard for design, we ensure that every frog recommendation fulfills the needs of both company and consumer.

 

Design

Insights Become Ideas

Intangibles become tangibles as frog works to distill a single, actionable course from the wide range of initial concepts. Throughout the design phase, we review and refine each facet of the work in response to user testing, client feedback, and strategic analysis – an iterative process that ensures full consideration of the technological, cultural, and business impact of design.

 

Deliver

Ideas Become Reality

In order to guarantee the accurate translation of idea to reality, all project details are specified, documented, and delivered to the client for implementation. In many cases, frog oversees the production process itself, facilitating partnerships, managing software development, and providing support as necessary.

 

 

 

Salad Spinner and Laundry? What?

This is the Laundry Greener Gadget, Called the Laundry POD. Made from a company called RKS.

"While re-engineering and re-designing a salad spinner, we learned resourceful women were buying salad spinners to wash their delicates. This sparked the idea that the salad spinner technology we innovated could be used to create a portable, hand-powered laundry machine that would be far more appropriate for the task, than a salad spinner." www.core77.com

Smart? I think so. Think of all of the times you have needed to do a quick small load of laundry, well now you can. I would have used this already today, and this is before i even read this article. Especially college students, who have to pay a dollar for one load of laundry to wash it and then one dollar to dry it. Where can i buy one!?

Response to "Straws that can go around the world"

With these straw attachments you can make the straws in any design...as long, as wide, as high, as complicated as you want, and they are colorful too. I am not sure if this is something that the world needs right now, however maybe when the economy is better there will be a higher need for "cool" "pointless" things.

Bicycle Concepts from Around the World...

Very Interesting to see the different concepts of how people can use bicycles in every day life. The latter one is very creative, but how safe and sturdy is it. Would someone ride the bike while someone was on the latter... i would like to see a video of this in use.

This is crazy...the article reads this...

"...The transformation is truly revolutionary--no more engine under the front or rear bonnet, no more traditional suspension system, and no more gearbox or transmission shaft thanks to the Michelin Active Wheel. That's because all essential components have been integrated into the wheel itself. Cars equipped with this integrated solution deliver an array of unique advantages. In a sense, the Michelin Active Wheel is an intelligent wheel capable of propelling cars without gasoline, while ensuring suspension and braking functions and providing unrivalled road handling and comfort."

NOT ONLY THAT BUT HERE IS HOW IT WORKS..

"The Michelin Active Wheel inaugurates a new era in road transportation in which a car's road, safety, energy and environmental performance achieve unprecedented levels. This is because of a miniature drive engine and an electrical suspension system incorporated into the wheel. These technologies developed by Michelin have made it possible to completely rethink the car."

Something like this really can change the whole idea of a car. While other people are looking for ways to replace gas...this company looked for a way to change how a car moves. Brilliant in my opinion. This can definitely go somewhere. I would like to see this design in ten years. I will buy a car that has it.

The dumbest show on television CLICK HERE

Click on the link and you will understand WHY it is called "the dumbest show on tv". However im not really sure why it is on core77.com 

It is a show that is about these two men, destroying everything by hand. In the beginning of the show they said they were going to use "science" to break everything manually... im not sure i can see the science in this show after watching them break toilets with their butts, and watching them throw tv's out the window. Anyway, someone thought it would be a big hit on television...
