PRODUCT DESIGN PORTFOLIO JIN-MEI ZHANG


ABOUT ME Social progress accompanies the development and growth of product design. Product design is not just the piling of simple technology and function; it should be the ingenious joining of technology and functions to achieve the purpose of improving life. Designing more humane and more convenient products has always been my goal. Even a very small product can have a better design as long as one constantly pursues perfection. The earth has limited resources, and complex repetitive designs cannot withstand the test of time. There is a need to inject a new concept of “green design� to improve people's lives and usher in healthy and eco-friendly habits so that ordinary people can join in the protection of environment, respect of design, and love of fine living in order to let design, humanity, and nature come to true to harmony. My name is Jin-Mei Zhang, and I am currently a senior at Fudan University Shanghai Institute majoring in product design. My expertise has been enhanced by these four years of study, at the same time, it has led me to find my own design standard.

PETS BICYCLE DESIGN

PET BICYCLE DESIGN Design concept:

Pets already play a more important position in people's lives. They are not just man’s small companion, they are a part of the family. When people go out for entertainment, they also hope to have pet companionship. However, pet travel has become a problem for many people. Cycling is a healthy and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. It is not only a form of exercise but it also allows people to get close to nature. Therefore, by using the bicycle as a mode of transport to carry pets, the problem of pet travel can be solved to enable people and pets to get close with nature.

•Function: Bicycle shelter during sudden weather change was put into consideration for pet thermal insulation and sun protection. •Storage function: Bringing along pet items (such as clothing, food) during travel was put into consideration. Much thought was put into concrete division of space, for example the location of the pet bag. •Comfortable: Comfort of pet space, comfort of materials used for pet space, relationship of pet space arrangement and human activity were put into consideration •Bicycle frame and pet bag storage: Size ratio of pet bag and bicycle. Basket and height for easy entrance and exit of pet. •Clean: Easy to clean (clean pet hair, stool, and odour) •Safe: Possibility of theft and claws being entangled must be considered

THE DRAWING PROCESS

PETS BICYCLE DESIGN


PETS BICYCLE DESIGN

MODEL MAKING PROCESS Using cardboard, a small bicycle model was made to simulate where pet bag should be placed. In addition, the sitting position of the pet was simulated to determine bag size and ventilation


PET BICYCLE DESIGN The pet bag is placed in the position closest to the user to ensure pet safety and to avoid collision of the pet bag with other vehicles. Moreover, the user can always see the status of the pet during travel and thus have a sense of security.

Design features: Detachable design to meet different user needs when bringing along pet during travel Re s o l ve d is s u e s: Wate r an d pet hygiene issues, pet supplies placement and storage issues, pet drinking water and clean water storage, pet bag cleanliness and ventilation, pet bicycle antitheft feature.

Magnet Magnetic materials are used for the top and bottom of the water bottle to ensure that the bottle remains stable during cycling.

Bottle placed in this position will not affect the safety of the animal and will ensure stability of the bottle and sufficient water supply. Removable design for easy cleaning, provides a clean and comfortable environment for pets

Removable mesh ventilation Plastic

PETS BICYCLE DESIGN

Small bicycle tires ensure stability and reduce bicycle height, allowing users to feel more secure while transporting pets.

Ret ract able storage box wit h hollow design ensures ventilation of pet food

Removable design, attached by rotating the front cleat Easy assembly and disassembly


PROCEDURE AND METHOD OF USE Cycling

Parking

PETS BICYCLE DESIGN

Walking After disassembly, the second half is a small pet cart. This not only provides the user cycling experience, but it also makes it possible to shop and walk with the pet. Most importantly, the bike will not be easily stolen because a thief will not steal half of a car; therefore, it has very good antitheft effect.

ELDERLY INTELLIGENT CUPS

SMART CUP FOR THE ELDERLY Design concept: The pace of life for the young people nowadays is

becoming faster. Such a busy life style makes them easily ignore the elderly to a certain extent. Moreover, China is now gradually entering into an aging era, and many elderly people do not get enough care. At a certain age, the elderly becomes more forgetful and would often forget to drink water or take medicine, etc. With caring for the elderly as my purpose, I hope to design a smart cup that reminds them to drink water and take medicine. At the same time, the cup gives feedback to the children through phone. This provides proper attention for the health of the elderly.

FUTURE CAR CONCEPT DESIGN

FUTURE CAR CONCEPT DESIGN Presently the problem of vehicle exhaust pollution and vehicular accidents exist. Drivers inevitably make errors. Through the design of future cars, clean and environmentally friendly transport modes and reduction of human error when driving a car can be introduced in the design.


What will it be like?

FUTURE CAR CONCEPT DESIGN

?

Source of inspiration: Traditional cars have a steering wheel and the driver usually sits in the car. What if the steering wheel is removed, and the driver does not need to sit while driving but can instead lie down or be in other more comfortable position? These points were considered in carrying out the design.

THE CONCEPT CAR DESIGN IN THE FUTURE

CHAIR DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE Classical Chinese chairs cannot be disassembled and are mostly made of solid wood. Although they are very strong, they do not meet the modern young people’s need for rapid transport of goods when buying furniture. This chair is a combination of traditional and contemporary and can be dismantled to facilitate transport and storage and is more suitable for the mobile and fast-paced life of young people.


ABOUT MY COMPANY

I REGISTERED THE COMPANY'S RELATED CONTENT My parents have engaged in accumulator industry for many years, so I'm influenced constantly by my family and very interested in this industry. Therefore, I did an internship in my parents’ company or some other related companies during the winter or summer vacation from high school. In my process of internship, I have gradually found many drawbacks of the battery equipments during their using process, and I deeply feel that equipments of not environmental friendly will contaminate the environment. So I have studied the relevant aspects of it at the following university, and I have engaged in relevant aspects of equipment upgrades and improvements after graduation. I began to prepare starting a business in this industry in 2013, parental support, and then I in 2014 officially registered the new Austrian Plastic Co., Ltd., is mainly engaged in production of batteryrelated small plastic as the material of the device. I have invested 5 million yuan with my partner, and my personal investment was 2 million yuan. I was responsible for product development and technological improvements, and our output value of first year is 13 million yuan in 2014


ABOUT MY COMPANY

TRANSFER BOX

Main uses: It is used for storing and transporting semi-finished parts of products in the manufacturing process, handle is designed for the workers to carry conveniently during the process of using, and the overlapping design is convenient to place. The handle is designed for the workers to carry conveniently during the process of using, and the overlapping design is convenient to place. The load bearing of transit box is heavy during the process of using, so multiple reinforcing strands are designed to enhance the solidity of box. The rounded design can avoid accumulating the dust in the corners and it is convenient to clean.
