Visual Diary 3 Post 1: Adjustable Kid's Jeans
My first example of a human-centered design product is adjustable kid's jeans. As shown in this image, there is an adjustable elastic waistband that can be tightened or loosened using a button. The design is so intentionally and appropriately aimed towards growing children. I learned about these jeans in December when Angel Tree shopping vlogs were trending on TikTok. I saw a comment on one of the videos saying that adjustable kid's jeans are a perfect Angel Tree gift because they allow wiggle room for a child's size, AND allows the child to grow into jeans even a while after they were received.
I found this product to be very inspiring. Children grow so fast, and I can imagine that, as parents, it must be hard to keep up with buying new clothes so constantly. Therefore, flexible-sized jeans become a desideratum — especially in instances such as Angle Tree gifting when you are shopping for children who may not be able to afford many clothes and need these jeans to fit for as long as possible. Sizing is a human need that varies so much between different humans, and this product goes above and beyond other jeans to meet this need so well.

How do you feel about Cuno and/or Cunoesse?
i really love them both and it's incredible how fast i went from being like "ew what the hell" to "i would kill and die for these children"
other people have made good points about them already, like how cunoesse is treated with far less sympathy by fans since she remains terrified of and hostile towards harry and kim while cuno opens up and can become a companion in kim's place. cuno is a tragic little kid and i hate that his only chance to get out of his life is to become a cop, but honestly that fits in with the narrative we see about how people get sucked into harmful systems.
cunoesse, though... cuno is all she has. if he leaves to become a junior officer, she's got no one. she's a lonely, traumatized, violently reactive kid and cuno is all she has in the whole world. and cuno knows this and, despite his horrible father being a bad role model, cuno *steps up*. that's not cunoesse, some vile slur-spitting creature behind the fence. that's C, his little sister, and sure, she's a nuisance, but he'll be damned if you try to rip her away from him. he can privately admit to you that she's a little much sometimes, that despite appearances he isn't hers to control, but trying to get him away from her will make him withdraw from you. she's done bad things because she's an abused child who probably had to in order to survive, and cuno is absolutely judgment-free, even admires her for it. what they have is the closest thing to love that either of them has felt. that relationship means so much to me and i genuinely feel that they can't be separated from each other without badly hurting them both

Walmart.com has informed me that I can add whatever I want to my order of "reasonably priced shelf" so I am looking through the clearance section to see if there is anything in particular I need. Or, what's the funniest thing to buy with a shelf
