Scotts-Ortho EcoMix
A new take on an existing product, Ortho’s direction was to use existing components as well as to introduce the use of a concentrate. These concepts explore various options for pulling a concentrate that mixes with water while spraying. These 5 options range in cost, use of materials, packaging, and user interface. Providing a variety for my customers in this collection gives them the ability to weigh their manufacturing options, COGs, packaging/shipping, and shelf presence.
Internal components of the sprayer were provided by the customer so that we assure our concepts/aesthetic surfaces can contain the functional components within.
Revolutionizing Tradition: Crafting the Future of Garden Care
When I first embarked on the Scotts-Ortho EcoMix project, it felt like a thrilling adventure into the heart of gardening. This endeavor wasn't merely about creating another product; it was about breathing new life into an existing one, reimagining how we care for our gardens.
Harnessing the Power of Tradition and Innovation
The path we chose was bold - to utilize existing components while introducing a game-changing concentrate. It was about marrying tradition with innovation, offering garden enthusiasts a fresh perspective on an age-old practice. We knew we were onto something revolutionary.
Diving into a World of Possibilities
My design journey was a voyage into a realm of possibilities. We explored five distinct options for pulling the concentrate, each a unique blend of cost-efficiency, material choices, packaging aesthetics, and user interface innovation. It was about providing a diverse collection that allowed customers to make informed choices, considering manufacturing options, production costs, packaging logistics, and the all-important shelf presence.
Engineering Excellence: Guiding the Way
But we didn't navigate this journey alone. The engineering team played a pivotal role, providing us with sample units and competitive benchmarks. It was their guidance that ensured our concepts seamlessly integrated with the internal components of the sprayer. A harmonious marriage of aesthetics and function, that's what we aimed for.
The Scotts-Ortho EcoMix is more than just a design endeavor; it's a tribute to the art of reinvention. It's a journey into the heart of gardening, where tradition meets innovation to redefine how we care for our gardens. It's about creating a product that not only works efficiently but also appeals to the senses, making the act of nurturing our green spaces a truly delightful experience. Welcome to the future of garden care, where the EcoMix is the bridge between tradition and innovation, function and aesthetics.
