Theosaurus

To start the Speaking from Experience brief I was looking at piggy banks and different innovative ways that they could be designed. I found a few different designs for the piggy banks but most of them were simple generic pigs with different patterns painted on their outside.
Until I found this variation on the piggy bank called 'Theosaurus' <- click for link

The designers simply altered the original design by making the pig stand up and using the snout nostrils as money slots.

The design itself is quite modern and has very little to suggest that it is even a pig besides the obvious snout and the ears. Other than that, we can understand that it is a pig because of its context in holding money the same way as a regular piggy bank. 

The bank comes in a few different designs but nothing drastic; the overall look and feel is kept simple. 

The whole product comes packaged in a box with an instruction booklet held in the lid. 

Although this is obviously beyond my ability to create, it definitely shows the extent of the development that could happen during the brief. The designers clearly thought outside of the normal design and what has been created before to make their design interesting and stand out from the rest.
