Take home design test done for Happy Worker Toys and Collectibles. The challenge given was "How do you make something better? - take a toy or household item and explain how to make it better".
There are hundreds of watering can designs out there, it would have been really difficult to design something that is not already out there. However, in the challenge "How do you make something better? - take a toy or household item and explain how to make it better" it never really stated DESIGN something better, just EXPLAIN how to MAKE IT BETTER.
There were thousands of different options however my choice to better a watering can was based on a couple of different things. One, it was simple and because there were already a lot of watering can designs out there, I simply had to pick one and explain why it was better. Two, during this time, it was about mid summer and this was my first summer back home and I was tasked with watering my mother's garden. Her garden now, is a monster, and she had three different watering cans that excelled at different watering functions and I didn't care enough to buy a single watering can that served all my needs. However, I was getting exceedingly annoyed at having to switch between three watering cans.
