Portfolio Man Yan Yik
DSID 123A Portfolio These portfolio includes my projects from the last two years. I’ve learned a lot during these two years; in DSID 123, I learned to design a real product, from market research to developing a persona and design matrix. DSID 126 taught me how to combine design and ergonomics together in a product. I may still be new to industrial design, however I am looking forward to my new designs and adventures next year already!

Most juicers take up a lot of space on the kitchen counter and are heavy to move around.
Many people like juicing because of health benefits, however, juicers are expensive.
Traditional juicers are small and easy to use, however, they make juicing very tiring.
01 FooDi Juicer To design a juicer that can overcome the problems identified in market research on current juicers. Ergonomics, minimalism and market demand were used to make the final design. A juicer is typically an expensive kitchen appliance, and this product will allow more people to benefit from juicing.
Persona
The primary target market is young women, however, the elderly and people with hand weakness or disabilities can also benefit from this product. The target market does not want to invest too much in a juicer, however, they want a juicer they can use frequently as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The traditional handle design is uncomfortable during prolonged use, frequently causing wrist pain in users. The blade of Chinese cleaver is generally heavier and wider than western chef knives. The chef needs to hold the blade in order to best control the cleaver.
02 FalconCleaver The Chinese cleaver is a very common tool in kitchens. In recent years these ancient knives have experienced considerable popularity in the West as well, being adopted by many professional chefs from all cuisines. Unfortunately, the traditional handle is short and not ergonomically designed, leading to frequent discomfort. This project redesigns the traditional handle in a modern form, combining aethtics, functionality and ergonomics.
Persona
My target customers are professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts, both of whom are very particular about knives. This product is designed specifically for right-handed people, because professional chefs demand a perfectly designed right or left handed knife rather than a general designed knife.
Market Research
Research a variety of traditional and modern cleaver designs for reference use.
Traditional Design Less comfortable,lack design and ergonomics
Modern Design More comfortable, designed with ergonomic
Ergonomic Research
This research was conducted with professional chefs, housewives and cooking enthusiasts. The diagram shows the hand problems the current cleaver handle design causes. Slightly painful

03 UNEX Face shield & Air Filter Wearable technology has been a huge trend in the current market. In this project, we explore the possibilities of wearable technology in the future, in order to enhance human life and provide better protection and working conditions for industrial workers in a variety of fields.
Name: Paul Bowen Age: 35 Job: Welding Worker Working Hours: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. 1:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Job information: - Welding molds / tubes / products - Usually 500 items/day “I spent two months learning how to weld. It needs a lot of concentration, and my eyes get very tired after work. The mask is very stuffy because of all the hot air I breathe in.” “Sometimes I will put an extra mask under the face shield, but sometimes i just don’t really care.” “If the face shield could provide guidelines for my work, it would be great.
Persona
My target customers will be workers who spend many hours welding in the factory. They need to have better equipment to reduce stress during work, protect their vision and improve their work quality.
Existing Problems
Most welding face shields do not include an air filter. Welding workers either do not use an air filter or use one that is separate from the face shield, which is not compatible with the face shield.
Persona
Most face shields can provide some eye and face protection for the worker, however, air filtration and instructional displays are not provided.

04 Barnes & Nobles Self-checkout Stand This is a group project to understand regulations, advantages and disadvantages to current self-checkout stands. Using the information collected we developed a new potential design for a self-checkout stand that is better suited to the requirements of the retail market.
Persona
The target customer will be Barnes & Nobles bookstore. Many bookstores are facing closure due to competition from Amazon and e-books. The goal of the stand is to promote the image of the bookstore and provide fast check-out service for customers.
Self-checkout Machine Study
The group observed different self-checkout machines, finding the six basic functions of the machine.
1. Lane light / store attendant call Shows available machines and alerts store staff when users need assistance 2.Touch-screen monitor Displays scanned items and guides users through the payment process. 3.Basket stand Area for putting shopping baskets during unloading. 4.Barcode scanner and scale Area to scan items for purchase 5.Payment module Area to dispense cash and receipt 6.ATM PIN pad Area for processing credit and debit payments

05 Solidwork s Road Bike This project focused on utilizing the skills developed in Solidworks to design a road bike. Over the course of the semester we studied different functions and techniques within Solidworks, learning to apply them to industrial design. This road bike represents the culmination of my development, putting the skills to practical, real-world use.
Sketches
The color comes from the emerald green lake water while the sponge sits within the soap as the river rocks do in flowing water.
The sponge represents the stone in the water. Sponge is a natural material,that reminds people of the environment.
This design was inspired by the national parks and those who love to explore them. It allows visitors and hikers to carry less gear with them while exploring the national parks, letting them enjoy their trip more and reducing waste.
06 River Soap This project focused on the application of molding skills and the ability to integrate persona into your design. In order to design a soap for the National Park service I needed to create an innovative and attractive piece utilizing molded pieces combined with other components, emphasizing the diversity of our national parks.
Persona
This product is designed to promote the National Park Service, and attract more people to visit national parks.
Nature, Relax, Enjoyable
The hook of the hanger is designed to fit to any size of closet rods.
The concept of this hanger is simple; to be easy and convenient to use and store. The structure holds clothing weighing several pounds, including jackets.
07 Origami Hanger In this project I had to design a hanger with sustainable material - cardboard. The obstacle in this project was that cardboard is not a strong material. I had to try many designs and techniques in order to create a hanger that was both durable and functional.
Material
Cardboard is a very common material in our life. It can be anything; a mailing box, insulation material or even a chew toy for rabbits. Cardboard can be a very strong supporting material in different products with carefully designed structures.
Inspiration
Origami is one of the best techniques to construct a solid form from flat pieces. Additionally, the ethereal nature of origami lends itself well to storage when the piece is not in use.
Design Development
Starting from sketches, I created physical models to see different ways to approach the final design.

08 Rocket Car This project’s goal was to design a moving form with several constraints. The form was limited by size, wheel distance and the positioning of the CO2 cartridge. The inspiration comes from fish fins and waves. The general shape also represents the shape of fish. The curve lends the appearance of speed to the form, as would be expected in a rocket car.
