04 Mood Table
This is the project for entering 2016 RSA Student Design Rewards- Creative Condition. Mood Table is an interactive table for kids and their parents. It allows users to recognise emotions in a visual way. Children can mix and match the transparent facial acrylic pieces with the colours they prefer. Instead of telling our children red represents angry, why not letting them decide which colour to match and explain their own reason. This is how creativity generates. Also, they can use the imagination to create their own games with these acrylic pieces. Furniture - Mood Table

LED Training Bracelet is a competitive project assigned by the design company Green Room, which has cooperated with the university. Each student would receive three design elements randomly chosen by the computer. Nike, product and technology were the three words for this project. LED Training Bracelet is designed for recording training results and sharing them with family members. If one of the users forgets to do trainings for too long, that person’s bracelet will keep flashing until the training has been done. Also, users can check other’s result and compete with each other at anytime. This may arouse the motivation for doing more sports.doing more sports.

Nike is a worldwide sport band which is well known of targeting consumers that usually exercise. However, nowadays people tend to have a busier life sitting down in front of their computer for a whole day. Lying on the bed is the only thi ng that they want to do as soon as getting back home. Everyone understands that this is an unhealthy life, but it’s hard to have a step out. To discover more potential customers, a product which can motivate more work outs may be a great choice for Nike to work with. The main goal for this project is to create a multifunctional interior product which is targeting people who don’t exercise much, but decide to make a change. The second goal would be creating a connection between the bracelet and Nike’s existing apps like Nike+.
