Design A Speaker
A project from my first year in college, the task was to create a final design through expansive idea
generation, concept development model making. I focused mainly on developing my
appreciation for aesthetics and user interface

Out of Box Experience
A project sponsored by Fleming Medical. I had to re-design the packaging and instructions for the
OMRON Blood Pressure monitor. The end goal being to display the necessary information to the
user in a much simpler and inviting way

Out of Box Experience: Original Packaging & It’s Flaws Eoin McGrath
Omron logo is the largest text
on the packaging but does not
communicate anything about
the product
The actual product description is
the least dominant text displayed
and does not read well due to
background colour transition
behind the text.
Unexplained symbols at the
base of the packaging are
not effective at informing the
consumer of the unique
features of the product
Blue gradient graphic does nothing
but clutter the packaging. Text
placed upon the transitioning colours is harder to read.

Out of Box Experience: Original Instruction Manual Eoin McGrath
During research no participants consulted the instructions. When questioned about this it
was agreed that the instructions were a “last resort” for any product. However each
participant also stated that the size of the instruction manual was off-putting.
Need: A Quick Start Guide for the “Real Life User”
