Product Pet Peeves

by kepano in general design discussion

I HATE bathroom sink faucet design. I have somewhat larger hands and every time I wash my hands I literally have to shove them against the back wall of the sink bowl because the stubby little faucet only sticks out a few inches. There is a bowl that is about 14″ deep, and you only use the 3″ next to the back side of the bowl. Is it really that much trouble to extend the faucet out a few extra inches? What are some other product pet peeves. Maybe people working on some products like these can fix some problems.

Interaction Design/Game Design
by jwesolo2 in design employment

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois with a BFA in ID and I am thinking I want a career in game design/ interaction design. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get involved in that ? What skill sets are really important? What people want to see at an interview/portfolio (all I have is product design work)? Any other advice you can think of…
