A Drone for sport player
This drone is specially designed for extreme sport players. The main function of this drone is to monitor the user’s safety. The system of safety monitor connects the receiver, just like a sport watch worn on the user’s wrist and acquire information about the body immediately.

If the user is in emergency, the receiver will send the alert to the drone and the drone will make sound to inform the others. Since it is designed for extreme sport players, the drone must bear a lot of frictions and bumps. We redesign the structure of the drone to enhance its endurance to collision and also make it easy to take out.

The fundamental concept of this project is 'Freedom'. Comparison to chairs, stools owns the ability to have more changes, because of it has no restriction on its using direction. I try to use the most basic structure to define the new shape of stool.

User Research
In order to have a mutual standard of 'Good Stool' in our team, we design an experiment to figure out this issue. Proper height, comfortable size, the steps of people sit on a stool, are all the factors we consider in this paper.
PRODUCT DESIGN 21
The basic function research -
To have a mutual standard of a 'Good Stool'.
1. Most of the people cover about 80% of a chair when sitting on it.
2. According to the collected information, the most suitable radius of the stool is 175mm-150mm. 3. According to human factors, the most comfortable height of stool is 340 mm-370mm.

Uflo+ is a minimize air purifier focus on cleaning small space surrounding a person. Especially on the working platform and desks. The height of the vent approximately the same with breath system when you sit down. Compare to traditional purifier, Uflo+ can make the users feel the clean air more directly and brings the users more sense of accompanying.

Function & Evironment analyze
Waiting for the computer to open, I picked up the paper towel and wiped it slightly to clean up the dust from my last job. It's like a job opening ceremony. After wiping, I turned on the lamp and saw the shadow of falling dust. After the dust settled, I finally able to work with peace of mind.
PRODUCT DESIGN 29
Demands | 1. A lot of dust, but there is no place for air cleaners!
2. Requires cleanliness and good air conditions on the desktop. 3. Simply clean up before work, like the opening ceremony.
Proposal | Do we really need to improve the large space in order to achieve a good cleansing effect? Ex: Can it concentrate on filtering the space in use?
Ex: Can it change the organization and become a clean expert? Ex: Can it provide more convenient, intuitive and comfortable cleaning indicators?

Reseach of Dematia
We want ro resolve the problem that elder often forgets small things in daily life, we try to figure out their both physical and mental condition. Finally, we found that the group of MCI, mild cognitive impairment, is an interesting subject linked with memory.
The most interesting part of MCI is that it is the negative situation is able to be reversed if the elder willing to do an effort on it. The diagram above is describing the process of this disorder.
PRODUCT DESIGN 39
Expert Interview
In order to know the real situation of the elder's mental situation and physical conditions, we interviewed Psychological counselor and psychiatrist. It is clear that there is two polarize point of views toward dementia between the two domains.
Advice from Psychiatrist
Advice from Psychological counselor
Entering the MCI stage is like spending his original brain energy (loss of cognitive function and memory). Thinking about how to make him accumulate his deposits in life? It is suggested made the elder keep jotting down their daily life can and asking them to recall their memory can stimulate their brain.
The elder at 60 usually starts forgetting things. Such as forgetting whether they already brush teeth or not. The memory disappears for just a few seconds but comes back later. The uncertain life of the elder may lead then into anxiety mood. They concern about aging, poor physical condition and other problems trigger moods fluctuation. Moreover, lack of activities may also make a negative effect on the body and mental health.

Competitive Products
According to the literature, daily simple mental training, recording of life, and continuous training assist prevent dementia. Therefore, we search in two directions, "brain training" and "healthy habits". Also, we focus on the app which emphasizes health/body improvements.

Design policy & Brainstorming
After defining the position and markets. We start to conceive our product structure and form. Listing them down and make a clear demonstration of our function and reach the ultimate goal, prevent healthy elder getting dementia.

Concept
The idea for the cover actually came from the darkroom photography technique in which the photographers use a red light in the darkroom when developing black and white film.
The inner part used the concept of cut and paste, typography, and overlapping to reinterpret Matter’s visual language. In the final part of this zine, not only layout and graphics were applied to show Matter’s style but other materials were also used to generate the visual experience from his masterpieces.

Teacher Ann Morris, professor in Pratt Institute, bring an intoxicating lesson design philosophy- deeply affect my life. The design challenge is to interpret the selected quote in both subjective and objective way. The process teaches us to distinguish between 'our own interpretation' and 'public's cognition'.

'Realize Deeply That the Present Moment Is All You Ever Have' - Eckhert Tolle

Objective interpretation
To interpret the quote in an objective way, which means without personal experience and emotion. Using blur typography to represent previous and future time, and only
make part of 'present moment' clear. The reason of partly clear of the words is that the present moment is short and fastly passed.
VISUAL DESIGN 77
Subjective interpretation
The subjective poster can be adding clear personal emotion. we can use a metaphor or a relative object to represent the concept. I use the movement of eyes blink to demonstrate
time and only use pure white in 'present moment'. It means all you need to focus on is the present moment.

We extract the significant signals and meanings from the movie through brainstorming. The movie can concise in one sentence: The Japanese were tried to erase the aboriginal's culture, Seediq Bale, in Taiwan through violence policy.
So I use an eraser image to symbolize the culture-cleaning. What the eraser trying to wipe out in the poster is the traditional tattoo, which linked to Seediq's belief of ancestor and culture.
