A student's work from Michael Salter's "Dollar Store Hack" class at University of Oregon. Salter says, "In an effort to investigate design and push creative methodologies we hacked existing dollar store items, designing, sketching and building a variety of personal, and home goods. All our materials were acquired at the dollar store. hacking cheaply made plastic junk and hopefully manipulating some irony and employing some criticality in an otherwise humorless and often anonymous world of product." via notcot
