Accessibility concepts

 Concept 1: The idea behind this concept is to make pouring and storing rice easier. Rice packets in the supermarkets today come mostly in plastic bags. It requires having to cut open the packet and to store it you need to pour it into another container. The rounded bottom on one side of the bottle helps to tip the bottle while keeping the bottle on the table. The cap it quite large and also doubles as a measuring cup.
Concept 2: The toothpaste pump will help make it easier to dispense the toothpaste by eliminating the squeezing action needed when using regular toothpaste in a tube. The pump uses only one downward action on the top whilst sitting on the bathroom vanity. 
 Concept 3: This new packaging is an innovation on the arthritis creams that come in tub or tube form. For people with limited dexterity might find these difficult to open. Here I have incorporated an applicator so that all the user has to do is remove the large cap and roll on the cream in the needed area, whether it be on the back of their hands, elbows, or knees. This also eliminates having greasy or oily hands.

  2. I really like the idea of the arthritis cream applicator. The idea behind it is fantastic, in the way that it provides a no mess, no fuss solution, and that it doubles as a massaging tool!

    the only thing i would say you may need to look further into is the way the cream is dispensed and how you would stop the balls from rolling when you wish to commence the massaging :)
