Coke's new design direction 27 Aug 2008

Five years ago, Coca-Cola's new design chief, David Butler, was told: "We need to do more with design. Go figure it out." BusinessWeek takes a look at how he's got on so far...

(Note: At the start of the article, there's a great point about how the word "design" can be intimidating/incomprehensible to non-designers. We also love the idea behind the new aluminium bottle: "It makes the drink feel colder". What a great way to improve the "user experience"!).

It makes the drink feel colder because aluminium is a better conductor than glass and so conducts heat out of your hands faster, thereby warming the liquid faster. Is that really an improved experience? I suppose it depends how long you take to drink the bottle.

Is anybody strong in radio here? We need a colleague who would tell us briefly about the transistor T2. I hope there are radio amateurs here. If it`s not on the subject at all, then I`m sorry. I have to write because I have no choice. PS: if the spelling is not right then also I'm sorry, I'm just 13 years old!...
