Big Ideas Do Pay Off
Evan Savar has been inventing for as long as he can remember. At the age of 21, he has already found some success with a trophy picture stand, a talking gift wrap bow and a silicone flat-screen TV effect, reports Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Inventions, he said, just come to him. Take his latest one — the Digital Photo Trophy. His invention is the box-like base that can be programmed to show a stream of digital photos, as many as 100 in a loop, great for team shots and those special moments on the field or court.
The idea for that one also came from necessity.
As a youngster, Savar enrolled in tennis camp, played basketball and baseball and was on the volleyball and soccer teams at Palo Verde High School. With each one, he got a trophy. They began filling up his bedroom.
“They all kind of looked the same, and I couldn’t remember (which was for which),” he said. “I thought, “There has to be a better way.’ ”
Savar’s mother, Cindy Fox, said her son always has had a mind that looks for solutions. When his older brother Hal, a musician, was playing summer gigs on an aluminum stage in 115-degree heat, Evan borrowed an idea from marathon runners. He rigged a backpack with a water reservoir and ran a sipping tube around it.
Her garage, she said, is filled with his “dinosaurs” — his not-quite-ready-for-prime-time inventions.
“He has one of the three bays,” she said. “His car has to be parked outside because of all his stuff.”

Great inventions, or money making ideas always come from something simple like, “hey, what would happen if we 1) turn it sideways? 3) hang it up, not lie it down, 2) use it for something different? etc, etc. People who think outside the normal parameters seem to get inspired, in ways that the rest of us don’t. My kitchen, for instance, has pots and things hanging, not stacked, because the person who designed it once cooked on a small boat, so everything on that vessel was stored in ways that ‘landlubbers’ would have rolled their eyes to see. But it works. And I can’t tell you how any times a visitor to my kitchen will say, “Gee, know what it reminds me of? A galley on a small boat!” You just never know what uses and contexts an object might wind up in: and therein, I think may lie the seed of a new, genius idea.
