�Never stop thinking, nor can I waste the resources available to me.�

In the course of exploring the spectrum of design, I started to position myself as a young person able to contribute herself to our society. It is my firm belief that I, by means of using my creativity, can locate wh -at is needed in this society. I will in turn consolidate my former experience and knowledge learned with those of different fields of people in order to create some products or services that are more valuable.

To me, industrial design is not only a external vision of design. Thus, what I like to do in the future is to do something that can comply with the principle of relentless development that is suited to environmen -t and humans. That means, design is not only concerned with the superficial beauty, but it also is suite -d to this real world, letting the products fully exhibit their function and practicality.

LOCK YOUR TIME

2011-2012

Lock your time During my childhood, I liked to stay right bes -ide my mother to see how she cooked, for I might witness the wonderful cuisine full of lo -ve.

Since I was too focused on what I watched, I sometimes forgot those important issues wai -ting to be conducted by me. For example, I forgot to pick up my younger brother from s -chool or to bring my grandmother to the hos -pital. In fact, those issues were not able to em -bedded in my mind simultaneously.

Thus, “Lock your time” was coined and served as something that could come to mothers’ aid or help counter the problem of absent-minded feature.

LOCK YOUR TIME

Product Concept This product employs the presentation of patterns and colors, using the simplest pat -tern to remind those mothers who are exp -osed to the noise of cooking oil. They thus don’t have to worry about the inability to li -sten to the sound of traditional time keeper.

The housewife can put down the important issues on the short note and place it under this product, followed by the spinning of pl -ate. Prior to engaging what you intend to do next, set up the time needed for next im -portant issue. By means of the reminder of this considerate design, the user does not ha -ve to worry about the chaos caused by so many things at the same time.

At first, I found out the panel of the product is obscure for people to take a look.

For this reason, I spent two months discussing with the professor and expert who are studyin -g in the domain of electrical engineering.

TERMINAL WINDSTORM

2010-2011 In terms of its outer appearance, to reduce the resistance of wind, most of cars are designed in the form of water drop so as to achieve the circular-arch shape of external lines. By using high efficiency of manipulation, the function of disturbing current can be made as expected. As to beautifying the outer appearance, so much stress is placed upon vivid color and simple lines, coupled with the linear shape that can demonstrate the sense of technology, which are the core concept of design contest for outer appearance.

Target

The material used

The most notable feature is the weight-reducing design for car’s body, given the smallest surface and car’s linear shape so as to keep a certain dis -tance between the car’s body and the land surf -ace, and to let the air flow through the bottom o -f the car with a view to reducing the pressure an -d to enhancing the sliding effect.

Cloth of carbon fibers and polyethylene are used to reduce the car’s weight. And to secure a better vis -ion for the driver, plain lying position with a small c -urve for sitting is employed.

Reducing the resistance of air

Color’s layout

The wheel curve employs double water drop design, extended from the main wheel to the car’s body to reach the level at which wind can be cut down so as to reduce the surface of facing the wind.

A progressive layer of presentation is exhibited mainly for the purpose of transmitting a gradua -l change of color from white cloud color to dark color, full of force of impact in terms of vision.

TONG HUA

TonG Hua 2009-2010 In the retrospect of my kindergarten period, I participated in a variety of painting and outdoor painting courses. At that time, I painted many paintings with regard to the happiness of our family. I also had a strong desire to quickly share my paintings with my parents who were busy in their job positions, in an attempt to share my happiness with them.

Product Concept By means of “animation� that combines both modern digital technology and scanning/transmitting function, this product is portable.

Just put the painting into the rolling tube, and the scanning device will start to function. And the sta -rt will let the painting be transmitted to appointed cell phone. This will make it possible for the par -ents, who work outside, to receive those paints replete with love sent by their children.

Decoration of exhibition site I found from my observation that in each year’s exhibition, students have to consider the design of platform and the integral layout for the exhibition site for the purpose of exhibiting their products designed by them.

However, the beautiful exhibition platform can only be used for one time, caused by the restrictions for eac -h different exhibition site.

DECORATION OF EXHIBITION SITE

Product Concept Under such circumstances, it lead to must waste for material used.

Overall, material used is plain wood for the purpose of special sha -pe, and this will make it impossible for the material to be used for the second time.

Thus, to secure a wonderful exhibition space for the momentous g -raduation exhibition, we have created the whole design for the ex -hibition size by consolidating all the departments related to design.

Through the one-unit design, all the assembly parts can be reused to solve the restrictions of specification of exhibition site.
