Just to refresh, my product is aimed towards toddlers and kids - and yet, it's quite industrially designed so it needs to fit into both categories. I experimented alot with bright, vivid colours to attract young kids and while some looked borderline okay, most came out too strong and did the opposite by putting people off (it put me off). In my concept pin-up, I mentioned how I disliked the colour choices as I believed it made my design look too busy. The green with the blue and the silver; it took out all the simplicty I wanted to imply in my product. In photoshop, I dunk multiple colour combinations and came to a realisation that having two or more 'bright' colours destroys the design completely. It definately goes to show how much colour can impact on a design alone. In the end I went for the furthest on the left as the main colour is emphasized through the subtle shades in the body. It was, in my opinion, the best solution to fitting both target audiences utilizing the bright blue handles to attract the kiddies while still reserving the sophisticated design for the adults.
