The Design
About Mi Bluetooth Headset Mini Primær funktion: Headset-emballage
Mi Bluetooth Headset Mini er en emballage skabt til et kompakt sportsheadset. Headsettets skal er minimalistisk og har en enkelt cirkulær knap. Emballagen benytter billeder af berømte musikere, så den ovale skal fremstår som et hoved og knappen som en åben mund. Resultatet antyder en sanger eller en dirigent og giver karakter til et enkelt produkt. En PET-bakke holder headsettet og controlleren forrest, mens ledningerne forbliver skjult. Et papomslag holder strukturen fast. Designet sigter mod at appellere til brugere mellem 18 og 29 år.

- Unique Properties
- The design of the product is quite minimalistic, with only a circular button on the shell. To make it more interesting, the design use images of famous musicians in the packaging, contributing to a personification of the product: the oval shape becomes the head, and the button becomes an open mouth. This creates the image of a composer passionately singing or vigorously conducting an orchestra, giving voice to an otherwise low-profile product, at the same time highlighting its design element.

material: Paper, PET - Design Challenge

- Research
- Mi Bluetooth headset is a low profile product that targets the lower end of the sports headset market. The retail price for the product is 10 Euro in China. The overall packaging budget was limited to about 0.6 Euro. So it is the design task to add some attractive elements to its packaging and make it outstanding from the shelves.
- Inspiration
- In current China, the young generation has a rage for animation, comics, and games. They spontaneously create a lot of trending content that personified objects into lively characters. To make this low-profit product easier to approach the young generation, our design strategy is to imbue a product with personality and to visually personify the product.
