design language
I spent five months to do this project, it’s a high integrity project. It was divided into two parts, P1 and P2. I take a brand and trying to find out its design language on P1, so I did a lot of research about it such as making image board, and than we have to do more researches about this company’s users or marketing strategy in order to create a brand new product.

and try to merge comfortation and structure together.
MODEL 1 I form the shape directionally bacause I don’t want it to be so heavy on visual, and I also enlarge some details to show the Black And Decker’s design.
MODEL 2 In this case, I enlarge the c angle and r angle, which is the most identified detail on Black And Decker. I also make the layer effects on my model, this is another part of its design.
Concept 2 Structural Visual continuity

Heat gun is a necessary product of electrical tools, and there are also many different kinds of heat gun on the market, but I found out that there are some problems of them. Too heavy, and different angles while using, so I design a new heat gun that people can use it more convient, by the launguage of the Bkack Decker. It’s a brand new Black & Decker heat gun.
Research
Brand direction Black & Decker's objective is to establish itself as the pre-eminent global manufacturer and marketer of power toolsand accessories, hardware and home improvement products, and technology based fastening systems According to my research, we can see that BLACK+DECKER is working hard to be a part of household appliance market
The things I have learned from BLACK+DECKER’s history are that they spare no effort to get into the household appliance market, and they will get the new technology by mergers and acquisitions

Amphisbaena Conbine two kinds of handle, make it more convinient and more comfortable. User can choose two ways to hold this heat gun, base on, and that is the major part of my design
How it works?
1.
When you have to heat the thing lower than you, for example, on the table, this angle will make you more convinient
2.
I have tried many angles of handle, found out that this is the best way to hold, cause user doesn’t have to curve their wrist, it means that they can use it in more comfortable way , and of course, more longer
1.
I place the buton on the handle where thumb can push it on each side
2.
This can make you more convinient, you will feel less weight of the heat gun because of it

Affordance
St-ay
An affordance is a relation between an object or an environment and an organism that, through a collection of stimuli, affords the opportunity for that organism to perform an action. It is very important to observe the design features that can guide users to use this product in the right way.
Problem
The bad experience There are many bad experiences when carrying your tray in the fast food restaruant and the bottle fall over, if there’s a way to make the bottle more stable on the tray and also reamain the fluent process when carrying, it will be really useful product
More stable I design a hole on the tray, let people carrying their bottle more stable, cause the bottle will be stucked in the hole, in the same time, users will feel more relieved when the hand touching the bottle
For fast food restaurant It’s for the single person’s tray so it can be smaller and using less space when eatting, and the color of it is depand on the research of the color that make people feel better when eatting, and the most important, it can be collected in the easy way.
Ideation I started to exploring a number of ways to carry the bottle while moving, andalso combine with the tray, and the most important, make it beautiful so thatpeople can feel more comfortable while eatting.
More comfortable to hold the tray by the design of handle
Make it more easy to hold the tray
The most important part of this product, to carry drinks in the safe way, the bottle will stuck into the hole and make it more stable
How to use ?
It’s really easy while using it, just hold the tray and pick it up, and the drink bottle will stuck in the hole
