YUCK! Cottonswabs (Student Project)

Designer: Simen Wahlqvist
School: Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia
Type Of Work: Student Project
Country: Norway

The assignment was to choose the most boring and mundane household product you could find and make it exciting through packaging it in a new way. I picked cottonswabs and I soon found out that they where just a quick coat of yellow from looking like small “hazmat” workers. This was a good fit for a concept since cottonswabs enter the nooks and crannys you don´t want touch yourself. The name “YUCK!” where then chosen for obvious reasons.
