設計，是人類進步的原因。在設計的過程當中，我們不斷地在connecting the dots，將以前的經驗、現在的設計、未來的科技作結合。透過觀察分析，設計師必須在這麼多的點子裡做配對與連結，找出最適合的答案。當然，設計不只是觀察與分析，還有外型與功能之間的配置。在大學四年當中是同時學習，同時將我們的知識運用。現在要把所學的東西跟工作的內容connect，希望能成為一位成功的設計師。

狗寶貝期待的神情總令人心動不已。但狗狗不再身邊的時候，誰能注意牠的進食狀況呢？CANINI的目標是要帶給人和狗快樂與健康生活。 Dogs are adorable, there’s no denying that. However, there are times when we can’t be around to take care of them. With CANINI, we hope to bring healthy and happy lifestyle to you and your dogs.

Current Statistics 目前全球患有肥胖症的狗占全數量之兩成至四成。在台灣每四隻狗就有一隻過胖，這些狗的死亡率比一般高三倍，也會導致其他疾病, 例如糖尿病、心臟病、脊髓壓迫等。 About 22-40% of the world dog populace is overweight. 1 in 4 dogs are obese in Taiwan. Obesity not only brings diseases, but also triples the death rate. Diseases include diabetes, heart attacks, spinal problems, etc.

Experiments 我們認為拍攝狗狗的角度非常重要，因此我們實驗以不同角度和方法拍攝狗狗進食的畫面。在這過程中我們發現許多平常人們不會注意到的角度和畫面，設計新的方法將它記錄下來。相信這些記錄可以帶給大家新的體驗。 Capturing the right moment is critical. Thus, we experimented many methods for filming dogs that are eating. We found many creative and entertaining angles from which people don’t usually see dogs. These moments can bring new experiences to people.

用厚紙板做出餐盤裡的各種特徵：斜度、斜牆。也嘗試製作不同慢食碗的形狀。 We were able to make prototypes with cardboard. Testing different shapes for better results.

008

Mechanics 為了了解現有自動餵食器的結構，我們拆解並研究舊型餵食器，發現飼料的分量是以滾筒內容量為最小單位，依照需求增加或減少餵食量。此分量方法非常不精準，我們將分料機構改成以秤重為主。依照狗狗體重去計算食量，提高準確度。

In order to understand the mechanics of an automatic feeder, we disassembled an old machine for study. We took reference from existing mechanic structure and replaced the current distrubution system (which is based on volume) to a new and accurate one with a weighing system.

Features

比起傳統餵食器的介面，新的界面讓飼主更簡易的操作，螢幕也是播放飼主影像的地方，而麥克風能讓狗兒聽到飼主的聲音。 The interface is made easier compared to older designs. The monitor and speaker allows the owners and dogs to interact.

010

以往餵食器由體積來計算出料，其中的些許誤差日積月累，便是造成肥胖的主因。於是我們改以秤重方式，來精準計算餵食的量。 The amount of food is weighed according to the status of the dog. Weighing the food makes the amount more accurate.

由機台外能看到盛桶內的飼料多寡，了解是否該補充飼料或是清洗盛桶。而內包的設計則避免狗兒自行去挖掘飼料。 Users can easily see how much food is left inside the dispenser without having to check all the time.

狗兒進食過快，容易消化不良，甚至會噎到。為了減緩進食速度，在碗裡增加肋，並在尋找食物的過程中，讓他有更多的探索空間。 The inside of the food bowl is made for slower eating, which is better and prevents choking

鏡頭位於餐盤上的轉盤，狗兒進食時，會推動轉盤，使鏡頭跟著移動，這樣鏡頭的視角就能一直拍攝到狗兒的正面。 The camera not only connects to your phone, but also moves as your dog moves when eating!

機台資訊連結到手機，使飼主能更方便輸入及設定資訊，將飲食量記錄下來，以便之後就醫參考。視訊鏡頭拍攝的影像也能分享到手機。 With your smartphone linked up to CANINI, you can check your dog’s health status and video chat with them! 011

我們希望CANINI可以擺設於家中任何可以讓狗狗安心吃飯的地點，例如：廚房、客廳。 CANINI can be placed anywhere in the house that gives dogs a comfortable enviroment when eating. ex: kitchen, living room.

打開機檯後輸入狗狗基本資料與餵食時間。系統算出建議食量。亦可透過手機設定。

機台發出提醒訊號至飼主手機，飼主透過手機端做最後更改並發送開始餵食訊號。

First time setting CANINI requires entering basic data and feeding time. (via smartphone or CANINI)

A signal is sent to your smartphone when feeding time arrives. You can make last minute changes before feeding.

狗狗靠近機台並開始進食，餐盤也同時開始錄影，傳送影像至飼主端。

飼主透過手機、機台與狗狗互動。可以將錄下來的影片或照片做編輯和上傳。 Other than interacting with your dog, uploading images and videos is also possible with the application.

When your dog approaches and starts eating, the camera starts recording and sends the video to you.

飼料經秤重後出料至餐盤李，吸引狗狗注意。 Once it is set, CANINI starts to distribute dog food for your pet.

餐盤與部分機台可以拆下做清洗，維持一個乾淨的飲食環境。 The food bowl and certain parts of the dispenser can be taken apart and cleaned.

CANINI 2nd Generation

CANINI透過台創與仁寶電腦進行了一個學期的產學合作。和其他產學合作不同，以一個workshop的形式進行，將現在的科技運用在狗狗生活上，透過設計探索所有可能性。 The second generation of CANINI is a collaboration with COMPAL computers via Taiwan Design Center. Applying “Internet of Things” and advanced technology, we designed new dog products together with great advice and suggestions from more experience designers in the field.

Workshop 我們邀請了非設計領域的朋友們來參加我們的迷你工作坊。在一天時間內做了腦力激盪與發想，最後收斂成幾個產品概念。透過我們製作的故事卡裡輔助大家做設計的發想與收斂。 Inviting friends from different fields, we held a mini-workshop for one day and brainstormed about dog products applied with current technology and Internet of Things. In the end, we summarized into six products.

Doggy Story Cards 這些故事卡協助我們想出心的點子，當作發想過成的參考，也是激發我們想到更多東西的道具。 These story cards helped us during the workshop to come up with more ideas. It not only serves as inspiration, but also making sure things were accurate, since they are based on real stories.

Workshop Candids 透過一天下午的發想過程，我們收集到了很多點子。由經驗豐富的仁寶電腦設計師吳昆家帶領我們，在這個過程中學到了新的設計方法。

With only just a few hours, we were able to come up with almost a hundred ideas. Design Kunchia Wu lead us during the workshop, teaching us new design methods and ways to brainstorm.

Discussions at COMPAL 將工作營所想出來的產品在做更細一步的分解與發想。不只把產品想出來，也將最重要的情境都規劃好，再加上把系統架構都寫出來，概念地圖的草稿就出來了！也跟機構師討論技術的運用，讓我們更清楚產品的外貌與細節。 Using the ideas from the workshop, we discussed and brainstormed more details back at COMPAL Computers. We also discussed with a mechanist and learned about the different utilities that can be used in our products. Other than the products, we also defined the scenario to the details, making it easier for us to picture what the products will look like. Finally, with all the ideas added up and linked, the first edition of the map was created. 019

Mockup 3D Printing 我們使用了3D列印技術與現有材料至作出草模。總共有三件草模：智慧項圈、健康慢食碗、和地雷相機組。智慧項圈上有三種模組：最基本的ＧＰＳ模組、燈光模組與相機模組。相機模組須要將電池插上項圈才能使用，平常可以將它拔掉省電。飼主可以透過項圈傳到手機的資訊去觀察狗狗。健康慢食碗上面除了有慢食碗突起的特徵，碗的下方有ＲＦＩＤ感應器可以將飼料上的資訊記下來，作記錄。地雷相機組室使用藍芽科技iBeacon，感應狗狗離相機的距離。當狗狗太靠近相機，會發出警告到飼主的手機。所以會建議可以將向機放在您不想狗狗靠近的房間或是貴重物品。 We used 3D printing machines together with existing materials to make our mockup model. In all, we made three: smart collar, health bowl, and mine camera. The Smart Collar has three modules: GPS, camera, and LED lights. Users just have to put in the battery module when they want to use the camera and LED lights. As for the Health Bowl, there is an RFID sensor at the bottom of the bowl, which can read the barcode on the packaging of the food and record it. Lastly, the Mine Camera set is to protect your valued goods from getting destroyed by your dog. Using iBeacon, it can know the distance between your dog and the camera (together with the collar). If your dog is getting too close, it will send a message to your phone. 021

Buddy Bean可以將菸蒂回收，回饋給使用著一個菸蒂盒的販賣機。我們宣傳的是一個概念，而用這台機器去實踐。 Butty is the main part of the vendor machine. He collects cigarette butts and gives BEANS to smokers in return. There are many holes on Butty’s head for smokers to put in. We hope that Butty’s bright colors and unique form will attract more people to come to him for cigarette boxes: BEANS.

我們作了許多調查與實驗，從觀察環境與吸菸者到最後的材料實驗。我們決定以台南海安路為主要地點去作設計：一個充滿創意跟熱鬧的一條街。在這裡我們發現有很多人都將菸蒂亂丟在地上，覺得如果這條路可以被保持乾淨，一定會更棒。我們參考了國外的裝置，最後決定以公共藝術裝置的方法呈現。菸蒂盒的部分我們作了許多材料實驗，如何讓菸蒂不會將材料點燃等。以咖啡渣和回收紙作為材料，我們作出了一個小巧的菸蒂盒 BEANS。不同亮的咖啡渣或白膠最有不同的效果，這也是我們實驗的重點之一。將菸蒂放進Buddy頭上的孔裡時，會發出聲音，吸引大家的注意力。而我們是使用Arduino來完成這個互動部分。 My group and I did tons of field research and material experiments. We decided to place our project on one of the busiest roads of Tainan, Haian Road. A lot of people gather there at night to share a drink and a few snacks, and many of them smoke. We found a lot of cigarette butts on the floor during our visits. With our project, we set our goal to clean the streets of cigarette butts. Our experiments mainly included material testing. We tried different ratios of recycled newspaper and coffee powder and blend it together to make the cigarette butt box. In addition, we added aluminum foil to prevent the paper-based material from catching fire from the remaining flames of a cigarette. Finally, we added Arduino to Buddy to create a react-interation relationship between the user and Buddy. All the codes were written on our own.

Concept 有動詞的燈要怎麼做？我的燈飾一個可以演奏音樂的燈。這一盞燈可以透過鍵盤來控制燈的亮度：白鍵控制大燈，而黑鍵是控制夜燈。每一個按鍵是控制一排燈，白燈可以控制八段亮度。這改變了傳統多段式燈的開關方法，以往都是用同一個按鈕重複按，一不小心就會按過頭。用新的方法就不會那麼不雜又容易弄錯。除此之外，按下按鍵後會有該健的聲音，讓開燈更有趣又增加互動。 For this project, we were supposed to make “a lamp with an verb. For me, I came up with the idea of a music playing lamp. I had a few concepts and ideas that I wanted to include in my lamp, and they are: easy to control the brightness, save energy, and fun. The main concept of this lamp is to allow users to control the brightnessof the lamp easily, without having to switch on and off the light so many times like the conventional lamp. Instead, there is a piano keyboard with 8 white keys and 5 black keys. Each key represents one row of lamp, the white connected to day lamp and the black to night lamps. Also, when you press a key, the note of key will be played out.

Model-making Process

Easy Control

Other than the cutting of acrylic boards with a laser machine, the main part of the model was making the keyboard and planning the circuit for the LED lamps. It was a lot of work, but I learned a lot more about circuits after I finished the lamp.

Another challenge was trying to keep the lamp together. Because it will be hanged from a board (ceiling), it needed to stick to the board sturdily, however, the lamp itself was very heavy so I tried different ways attach the lamp to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ceilingâ&#x20AC;? board. The lamp really works and can light up according to the keys. For instance, if you want just 50% brightness, you can press a C7 Major Chord (C/E/G/B), and 4 of the 8 day lamps will light up. The night lamp can be controlled as well, which is different from conventional one-brightness-only lamps.

the day; it can be simple and local, it can also be made into fine cuisine. Many chefs also make changes so it fits the taste of the local culture. Currently, some inflight meals include dimsum as a garnish; we want to make dimsum the main course as well as give passengers the choice for what they would like to have. We hope to simplify the preparing process with our design, making it easier for attendants to heat the food. In addition, there will be less wrapping so as to save space and be more environmental-friendly.

飲茶 Dimsum 大家常常都會說要去吃港式點心，但其實正確的方法是說要去「喝（飲）茶」，而英文的Dimsum 指的就是點心。港式飲茶的茶跟點心是一樣重要，不可缺一。飲茶的英文是：Yumcha。希望可以給乘客吃到熱騰騰的點心與現泡的熱茶。

Dimsum actually refers to the food that is served when one goes to “Yumcha“, which literally means drink tea. The tea is just as important as the food, so we hope to serve fresh-made tea to passengers together with hot dimsum.

logo & printed goods for events 2012.09 - 2013.06 as art director of ncku jazz club GRAPHIC DESIGN

大學期間參加了兩年的爵士樂社，是個由系上學姐新創的社團。在第二年我接下了美宣長的工作，負責設計活動的宣傳品與管理粉絲頁，除此之外也設計了社團的標誌。音樂在我人生中是很重要的「元素」，除了享受，也深深影響了我的設計。爵士樂對我來說是一個新的領域，打破以前古典樂所教我的規則與技巧。爵士樂鼓勵我跳脫現有的框框，尋找更多的可能性。 Music plays a big part in my life, and I spent two years in the NCKU Jazz Club, founded by my talented friend Yen-Ting Lo. As an establishing member, it was without surprise that I took a position in managing the club. Of the two years, I spent one year as the art directors Jazz was a new field for me when I joined the club. It taught me to think out of the box, for it was very contemporary and often broke the rules of classical music, of which I was trained in. It was great to combine two of my favourite things: design and music.

050

LOGO的設計原理很簡單：從遠遠的看像是「爵」，靠近看的話會發現有一個音符、薩克斯風，爵士與國立成功大學的英文還有音樂的流線。可以依照季節或是活動文宣品設計而改變顏色，如下面的橘黃色系列跟暖灰系列。主要的LOGO會使用粉紅色是因為爵士樂給人很活潑跟充滿生命力的感覺。

The logo design is one of my firsts, and its concept is very simple. If looked from afar, it looks like the character「爵」. and if looked up close, the details will include a musical note, saxophone, JAZZ & NCKU, and the flow of music. The pink shade reflects how energetic jazz is, adding life to surroundings.

exhibition promotional goods 2014.06 GRAPHIC DESIGN

在大四這一年選擇多修外系的課程，期中一堂就是當代策展。因為是研究所的課，所以許多同學在期末時辦了聯展，當作論文的一部分。我負責製作全部的文宣品。展覽主題是「孤寂」，選擇了藍綠色跟白色當作主題色。孤寂就像藥一樣，即使只有一小劑，是會慢慢擴散直到影響全部。文宣品包含了海報、ＤＭ等。 This exhibition was part of one of the classes that I took during my final year of university. The course was for contemporary curation. At the end of the semester, they held a joint exhibition, and I was in charge of the promotional goods. I chose turquoise and white as my theme color, because it reflects loneliness. In addition, the syringe and drop of dye shows how loneliness can spread even with just a single drop.
