BACTRACK is one sexy breathalyzer

bactrack.jpg

Sure, drinking is basically America's favorite pastime, but did you know that sometimes it can be unsafe? I know, I was surprised too. But apparently, if you drink too much, you start acting like an idiot and are prone to get into car accidents. Bad news, dudes.

Well, perhaps next time you're hitting the sauce you should make sure you're in control before getting behind the wheel. This sexy BACTRACK breathalyzer will tell you just how soused you are, avoiding any unnecessary arrests or deaths as a result of your errant binge drinking. And at the size of a cell phone, it'll easily fit in your pocket or purse for easy transport. Now you have even fewer excuses to go out drinking. You're welcome!

I really liked this design too. It's cool and sexy looking because it was created by the well-known San Francisco-based Industrial Designer David Shaw of Metaform Product Development. He came to my school for a guest lecture and sketch demo a few years back and shared some amazing work. He did a ton of LucasFilm Star Wars toys and some other pretty inventive products like this abacus calculator that mixed the ancient with modern. Check out his work at: www.metaformdesign.com

The reason this design looks so cool and sexy is because it was designed by an award-winning Industrial Designer in San Francisco named David Shaw of Metaform Product Development. He came to do a guest lecture and sketch demo at my school a few years ago and shared some real cool work. He's designed a ton of LucasFilm Star Wars toys and other interesting gadgets that are not only cool looking but also user-friendly. Check out his work at: www.metaformdesign.com

Too bad I dropped out of product design school but I can appreciate good design.
