Water Me Deliver joy and comfort
Water me Product 5
Design Concept We aim to deliver comfort, but some places seem not to be comfortable...
Bus
Restaurant
Hospital
We personally went to the places below, and interviewed some people. Many people went to restaurant as a group for relax or celebration, they didn't really feel uncomfortable with other stranger groups. As for hospital, it is a uncomfortable place. People felt cold and overwelmed there. But there are too many departments to investigate respectively, so we finally decided to focus on "bus".
Problems
We more focused on mental issue Try to fix the feeling of unease

Sketches
Water me Product Product
/discussion
I think people on bus should open thier mind instead of hiding from others, so I drew many sketches about how to enhance chance for people to interact and decrease the feeling of embarrassment.
7
The final target is to improve the atmosphere of comfort and enhance people's interaction, so we decided to design a device that could grow the plant with people's interaction.
Modeling First mock-up
We made a mock-up and saw how it fit in the bus, but the shape seemed too heavy for the bus.
2nd mock-up
After we made the second mock up, we discussed the problems of current mockup and try to solve it.
3rd mock-up Water me Product
And then we made third mock-up by paper to help us define our final design.

Final idea Bus Pole
We design a device that let people interact. But if we force them to use the device face to face at the same time, it may be more umbarrassed and uncomfortable. So it's a device let people interact at the differet time. When you get on a bus, you may hold a easy card to pay, then you walk down the path, passing by the device. Once you use your easy card to the device, you devote to help the plant. Accumulation sign and Accumulation sink will gain a light and water respectively. After 4 people helping the plant, Accumulation sink will filled with water, and water comes down to the plant.

People want to see who's the next person helping watering the plant just like himself/herself. They will gain sense of belonging by watching the plant growing. And they may have new conversation of plants or other things. Finally persude the goal of comfortable atmosphere on bus.

Why we use plants?
Water me Product 9
Because green makes people feel relaxed. And growing plant makes people feel the sense of accomplishment and belonging. To invent too many people watering the plant makes plant die, we will grow waterlogging-resistant plant there.

Why we use easy card?
The device will record who devoted the most to the plant. When the plant grew big enough, it will be sent to the most devoted people.

If tree could grow up, why couldn't the animals?
Product
We decided to make a product that can grow. And if the product could be assemble, and people finished it, they would gain more sense of accompishment. So the final idea came from crystal tree, which is famous in everyone's childhood.
Crystal Animal
Final Decision
12
Material Study We wanted crystal to refer to animal's fur, so crystal should just grow on the animal's skin. We tested that which mateiral to make animal's body was beter, wood or acrylics? It turned out that wood absorbed too much water so that paper couldn't crystalized well. In fact, much crystal would cystalized on wood body. It cause the situation that crystal spread over the animal, not just skin part.
We tested paper to pick out the one could grow the most beautiful crystal and the most amount of crystal Also we tested solution, to find the best proportion.
Crystal Animal Product 13
We tested how colour would work with crystal and found that blue would be carried with the solution and become blue crystal. And other colour still stayed on paper. Since only one colour can be crystalized, we canceled the idea of colourful crystal animal. If customer want to colour the animal, they could do it on their own.

Growing Process
Crystal Animal Product 15

Processing
We we re p a c ka g i n g eve r y part of product into a small container. Then decorated it.
Market We went to market, and sold it by ourselves.

It is a simple , portable tape dispenser just made by a piece of plastic. It redueces the massive comsumption of the plastic material. It's also easy to assemble. you can just fold it, combining it with your tape. Otherwise, you need not to worry about the blade of tape dispenser since you can hide it. Just insert the blade into the hole on the tape dispenser if you are not using it.

Develop ideas and drew the sketches, then chose the one I like the most to develop mock-up. I want to add some fun to my bookmark, so I chose the one that could be shaped, and could extend.

Mock-up
The bookmark is removable and reusable, and allow you to squeeze and reshape as you wish.
Product
So I changed this shape to arrow shape, and made it longer so that it could be pulled to book cover. And I changed fabric into flexible one, or I think silicone is okay.
Bubble Gum Bookmark
There were some problems in this mock-up. The fabric wasn't flexible so the bookmark couldn't stretch very much. And the bookmark was too small, actually it was not easy to find in book.
