I am a 17 year old high school/ college student. I am into arts and crafts. This blog is mostly my randomness combined into one heap, yup basically it.
AmoeBAND became a 2012 IDEA Award Finalist by innovating every possible aspect of the plaster (band aid).
The design revisions were:
- Strategic cut-outs shape to fit fingers in such a way that it is easy to bend them and not disrupt the bandage.
- An intelligent dressing material allows you to regularly check wounds from the outside, without upsetting the healing process.“According to research, the when an infection of a wound is detected, the pH value is between 6.5 and 8.5. AmoeBAND’s indicator cross turns purple, alerting the user needs to change it immediately.”
- Since the bandage material used exudes a leather-like feel, availability in different skin-tones helps it blend in, without overly highlighting the injury.
- The packaging has been redesigned to a matchbox style and includes Braille instructions.
Hat tip to designers Tay Pek-Khai, Hsu Hao-Ming, Tsai Cheng-Yu, Chen Kuei-Yuan, Chen Yi-Ting, Lai Jen-Hao, Ho Chia-Ying, Chen Ying-shan, Weng Yu-Ching, and Chung Kuo-Ting
it’s always funny when people improve on something and you look at the innovations and it’s like so fucking obvious what needed to be changed, but yet no one seemingly thought of it until then, yourself included
Where has this been all of my life?
Today, I broke down again. I almost lost my dad and I about cracked. I don’t know how life would be without him, but I know I have great friends. Thanks to all of you guys especially James, Daniel, Kj, and Amanda. You guys kept me together even though you really didn’t know that you were… Thanks for being my rock.
That aca-awkward moment when you find out your being tumblr stalked by one of your friends. Just because he had a dream about it. James, you might as well come clean.
Well, I have officially lost a friendship, which in fact I really hated the person anyways. Go me! WOOP! <—————-FYI it was a guy who was lusting at me. I kinda scared him off with a really bad April fools joke. It’s okay I’m not hurt in anyway. He was a biotch.
