18-24 Half of those who are aged 18-24 use an IM service daily. Podcasts are mostly ignored by this age group. Exploring new places is something people aged 18-24 do quite often.
33-41 Nearly 90% of the people in this group make calls on a daily basis. They also send or receive the e-mail constantly.

Final Design,
The phone is a SEMI QWERTY touch and type. The SEMI QWERTY keypad makes typing faster and convenient. The keypad sizes are ergonomically considered, so that even during winter, with your gloves on, you don’t miss hit the keys.

PROJECT 2 Duration: 4 weeks
USB INTERNET MODEM MAIN CHALLENGES. The brief was a one liner, “Design a USB internet stick for youngsters, especially for college goers”.
10
When the focus was on the youngsters, the issues to be addressed here was the cost of the product. Lesser the cost, happier the consumer. The parallel products available in the market had more or less the same kind of sticks, so the focus here was to make the internet stick more interesting, increase the interaction between the product and the user and to make the user feel WOW.
11
The Design The Idea was from the action of rotating keychains among the users. The product has a donut at one end which has a functional use when plugged in and we can play with it once its unplugged.
The smiley was a part of the concept which was removed in the later part of the design process.

Signal strength notifier
This option can be switched ON/OFF from the dialer setting panel
13
Material The material we chose was PC (Polycarbonate). This is a paint free product, we are using the natural colour options we get out of plastic. Thus, reducing the product cost.

PROJECT 6 Duration: 3 weeks
Packaging for Aroma Diyas MAIN CHALLENGES. An Indian product with traditional symbolism was the starting point of our quest for an item to be packaged even better if this can be portrayed to an international audience, celebrating all that we are as a nation, as a community, as a culture.

The Product Aroma Diyas (Scented Indian Candle)
Terracotta diya’s have a strong presence in Indian culture. Transcending generations and trends, diya’s are few of the traditional symbols, still relevant in today’s context. The ambience of celebration is never complete without lighting a few diyas. Export to international market (largely constituted by NRI’s) is ever growing with people discovering the warm comfort in ‘their roots’. Discovered as an ideal ‘Corporate gift’, it is viable economically, has strong connections with good occassions and happy festive times. In the gift sector, it has multiple oppurtunities; during festive times, celebrations and as return gifts.
