Experience and Product Design Portfolio by Darren Chng

pORTFOLIO DARREN CHNG Experience & Product Design

hello

I am Darren Chng, a 2nd year Experience and Product Design student at Singapore Polytechnic. As an avid learner, I like to take on a diversity of projects to build on my knowledge and skills as an amateur designer. I am hoping to ďŹ nd a company to intern which specializes in user experience/service design to build on my aspiration of being a capable designer.

PASTA DENARO

Re-interpretation of consumption of pasta during New Years in Italy

By adding meaning and key values that associates to possible senses and tangible interactions into a meal.

Pasta Denaro ; A traditional pasta meal commonly consumed during New Year’s in Italy for good wealth. Lentils is a symbolism of coins and wealth in Italy. Italians believed that the more lentils consumed, the wealthier they will be. Hence, implementing the concept of ‘Pasta Coins’ into the traditional meal.

The pouring of pasta to interpret the sound of pouring actual bag of coins into a plate.

Thermoforming

An infographic poster to allow us to understand the manufacturing process of clampshell packaging

Thermoforming ; The inspiration of the layout derives after watching a video regarding how thermoforming works. I thought of having the processes being documented via a step by step infographic poster which mainly shows illustrations only. Thus, by making the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of the infographics run from top to bottom, it shows the starting to the ending processes of the clampshell packaging being manufactured via thermoforming.

Mooncake Boxes

A packaging design which engages the consumer with its symbolic meanings

Lotus Packaging ; A blooming white lotus has a variation of symbolism. It represents good fortune, faithfulness and purity of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind and their spirit. The context of my packaging is inspired by the blooming of the lotus ďŹ&#x201A;ower. When the consumer opens the packaging, it reveals a mooncake which contains the symbolic values of good fortune and a pure mind of oneself, similar to a blooming white lotus.

ZENFONE

User experience when shopping at an online telecommunication website

ZENFONE ; To create a website interface with good online shopping and service experience for the consumers for a newly launched telecommunication company. The task is to purchase a ďŹ&#x201A;exible prepaid plan for a long stay foreign student in Singapore.
