ABOUT ME.
Bonjour
!!
,, Questioning on every natural facts Hello there! I am An-guo, Liu. I, major in Industrial Design in NCKU, National Cheng Kung University. I immerse in all environment with an open mind. To be more precisely, observing twenty-fourseven and continuously questioning every fact creates opportunities to outcrop new ideas for moreover evaluation of designing. It is always a pleasing experiment while in the pondering process, and I think it is the vital essence of nowadays worldwide designers. Always look inside of what makes you, you. I think it is important to outstand the specialties of individual, especially to designers, the creative characters. The characteristics of yours cannot be copied or stolen by any other person. It also makes your works different and distinguished.

BETTER EXPIRENCE BETTER QUALTIY To wipe out the common problem to most photo shooting lover, which is the uncomfortable and pressure made by long-time usage of the camera neck strap. Here, introducing the “ Camera Slide ”. Personal Project
14
shooting photos are fun, but carrying camera is disturbing. It is always a nightmare for a photographer to carry the camera with the neck strap on long-period strolling or traveling which makes your neck and shoulder ache. But you never know when you will encounter the fascinating moment, most photo shooters choose to keep on carrying, even though that the disturbing pain still remains. There are many camera bags out there might solve the problem, but users might probably miss the very moment that the only snappy image emerges and vanishes while they finally grab out the camera from backpack.

Product Design | Moji Moji
Rice is the staple food of about 50% of the world's population, nearly 90% of which is produced in Asia and is consumed in developing countries such as Asia. It stands an important role in our food culture, almost every meals we eat every single day includes rice. There is a unique and strong bond between our people and rice. Due to the commonness of rice dishes, there are unless one rice spoon in every each family.
rice spoon is the essential kitchen ware for us. 29
family dining time is the precious moment and chance to enhance familyship.
Preparing the meal is not only adults' duty, but it is also a nice chance for every child learns and helps as one of the family members. While the preparing process, not only the skills and techniques are learned by the child matters, but also the relationship between parents and child gets better. Most of the tableware or kitchen kits are basically designed only for adults, children's hand might not be big enough to control them well. So why not build a tool for both adults and children.

WEARABLE DEVICE
WORKSHOP
Through this two-day workshop, I got to reach the realm of the wearable device. Due to the rapid technology evolvement, nowadays chips get much smaller to fit in portable products. We, industrial designers, have the chances to involve in the brand new field of wearable products. It was quite a tough task to come up with several design concepts in an unfamiliar professional field. The explosive idea brainstorm in team discussion surprised me. There were so many creative and wise concepts from different teammates, allowed us to construct our team's main topic of the design.
Workshop Experience | Wearable Device Workshop
defining "wearable" Walking through the research data of the wearable device industry made us get more knowledge about it. This industry is getting more and more valued, and I believe that this will be a product trend in the future. Before designing, we must know the essential keys of the word "wearable" to fit human behavior and discover a solid insight to evaluate our design.
blood oxygen content detact device for hiker. Mount Awear is a hiking oxygen detector wearable device to secure hiker from the danger of blood oxygen lacking. The accessory device attaches on users' finger, the illumination detector inside can detect the blood oxygenation without prinking process. The main reason that we chose the glove as the wearable carrier was because gloves have high vision appear chance to hikers. It will be easy to receive the vital signal from the devices, reducing the ignorance in the extreme environment to enhance the self-awareness ability for hikers. 39

EMOTIONAL DESIGN WORKSHOP
fabricate and manipulate the essence of emotions. Discovering the meaning of connotation through this workshop to explore the emotional design of multiple possibilities. Facing the emotional part of our deep mind, trying to reunderstand ourself and express out loud through the media of design. It is quite uncertain to describe a feeling or an emotion or even the vibe you feel, but it is definitely a great chance to show out what you really are, evolve the designing be more relative to human beings, and improve esthesis transferring skills of mine, which really helps. What I have learned from this four-day workshop is there are lots of ways to express your own mindset. Techniques might seem different but skills within them have somehow similar. It really broadens my horizon and provides me enhancement on my design flow.

Workshop Experience | Emotional Design Workshop
deliever the imagery of the color. We decoded the color of our team - g rey, u s i n g o u r t h o u g h t a n d translated grey into several feelings, adjective words, and situations in order to define the meanings of grey. Our team decided to deliver our concept by somthing that we have never tried before, curating a small exhibition to create the world of our grey. We wished to give participants the exact feeling we designed, and get the feedback from them after the exhibiton.
Learning that there are various ways to deliver our concept inspires me greatly. It is like discovering a brand new island in my life. Shifting my mind, not stuck in the usual thought, gives me more flexibility to play with the ideation of the design process. The more aspects I consider, the more possibilities I can manipulate to apply to my design. Gain information and specialties from all kinds of works, reconstruct them in mind and find out the new way to translate the idea of them. After we showed our definition of grey to others, feedbacks from others might be completely different. These feedbacks give us guidance to escalate our idea or even influence our idea consideration in the future.

horizon scanning through present.

WORKSHOP
This workshop attempts to explore the future NPD of Taiwanese railway industry for the next 10 years through scanning-based foresight method from Hitotsubashi University, Japan. We scanned through massive of infomation first to seek for the connection of some facts and seperate them into groups. After the grouping process, we tried to define each group in order to reach to the possible future key facts. The aim of the "Foresight Project"is to envision a future ten years from now and consturct "Social Change Scenarios" in response to uncertainties resulting from imminent social changes, and thereby produce idea concering possible technological application in the years ahead.

predict key points to construct the future. With the analyzation of all possible future scenarios. We adapt the possibilities to the main problems which we intented to solve at the very first moment.
new tool for planning
While mind mapping all the i d e a , a l ways p ay a t t e n t i o n o n the future base we created. It is easy to lose connection between the development and the future scenario. If the relation is lost, the development would be invalid.
The horizon scanning method totally blown my mind. Although the process duration takes quite a long time, the result of the future scenarios constructing has the basis. It is different from me imagine future, the new method decreases the uncertainties and can be more objective, compare to the self-imagine result. I believe this method can be a great tool while doing future design. 43

Using lots of close up shots of the detail of light and shadow . Seperate sequences of daily light and shadow scene in order to get close to audiences. Giving the concept images of illumination and shadow, introducing our exhibition theme simultaneously.
Throw out some introspection to the audiences, giving the familiar scenes of doing design. Compare the design start-end process with the illumination shifting. The more effort you make, the better result you get. The brighter the light is, the obvious the shadow is.
Seize the important moment of three-day exhibition, allow all the participants to rewind what they make effort on, the more important is the to record the final present of our exhibition, which we planned and prepared for whole semester.
