Design process for Pill bottle

http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/health/features/11700/index.html

Great (though short) walkthrough on the evolution of a better pill bottle. I particularly like the fact that they talk about the designer's 1st pass design and some of the problems with it. Though it is also interesting that they rejected some of her ideas (maybe most) not cause they were bad but because it was too hard to implement (color printers cost $$, and certifiying the non round cap for child safety would take too long)
