Q.C. Makeup Brush DESIGNER: Tina Lai, TomoDazhi
MY MAIN ROLE IN THE PROJECT: -Schedule arrangement -User research -Feature & Foam design -Idea testing -Rendering
BACKGROUND
Everyone wants to look good, espacially for women. Wearing makeup can be a way to bring up our confidence and start a brand new day. Trying different makeup styles can be something fun to do. And thus, makeup is not just a way for us to look pretty, it is something for us to enjoy, to try, and to explore.
MAKEUP FLOW
→ toner
→ lotion
→
→ primer
→ compact
→ foundation
→ eye shadow
concealer
→ blush
lip stick
PROBLEM
Among all the process when doing makeup, there are different tools to assist us. How these tools perform directly affect how the users feel. After watching how people do makeup and do survey, we found that a good base is important for makeup. And thus, foundation, concealer and the brush play important roles.
Base
Color Cosmetics
foundation, concealer
eyeshadow lip sticks blush......
• user's needs are more simple and clear • some people only wear foundation
• too many different tools for different cosmetics • not everyone wear color cosmetics
Problem of Fundation Tools Hard to clean
Brush and beauty blender are hard to be fully cleaned and easy to mildew.
Hard to reach small spots
Small spots like nose are hard to be reached with brush.
Waste too much cosmetics when using
Lots of cosmetics could stick on brush and beauty blender, and thus makes waste of cosmetics
PROBLEM SOLVING small spots
clean
cosmetics waste
Use silicon instead of brush or sponge. The ripples makes it easy to apply cosmetics on face.
WHY SILICON? easy to be cleaned
shape can be changed
no more mould, dirt
reach small spots
non-toxic
cosmetics don't stick on tool
can take more cosmetics
skin friendly
no waste of cosmetics
save time
EXPERIMENT
Using 3D printing to make different silicon mold.
Both powdery and cream foundation, concealer were tested
After tested lots of pattern, we found out that concentric circles ripple performed better. We tested 7 different kinds of concentric circles pattern silicon by counting the time and number of dips for filling a 4cm*4cm square. Result: G is the best pattern

FOAM DESIGN version 1
Polygon shape prevents it rolls down the table. Botton can control shape of the silicon for small spots.
version 2 Transparent material and simple shape.
FEATURE
Less number of dip required.
Easy to be cleaned
Protrusible silicone can be applied whether cheak or nose
suitable for all kinds of foundation and concealer

PROTOTYPE
We finished the prototype during the semester, and thus the shape of it was version 1.
Air Circulator

CONTEXTUAL INQUIRY
Our goal was to redesign the CHIMEI DF-10A0 air circulator. And thus we oberserved 20 people using the CHIMEI air circulator in their home, working place, etc.

Less noise
Golfball ripple can reduce the air resistance and the wind noise. And thus, we considered other kinds of ripple might also be effective.
Stronger wind
Outstanding foam
EXPERIMENT Stronger wind
Use the flow Simulation in solidworks to test our idea.

Better air circulation Stronger wind
The original wind distance is 18m, compare to the re-designed one can reach 23m.
Streamlined shape can reduce the loss of wind power, and thus we change the shape of the parts that the wind will pass through. Front net section view

Fold-In Helmet
DESIGNER: Tina Lai, Shuan Jou Hsu MY MAIN ROLE IN THE PROJECT: -Background research -3D modeling -Idea testing -Rendering
BACKGROUND & RESEARCH
Using bicycles as a means of transportation is a good choice for students and office workers. It is not only healthy but also environmental friendly. Bicycle helmets play an important role to protect these cycling commuters. However, it is inconvenient when carrying the helmets.
From the riders.... “When riding, if I don't make it tight enought, the helmet will fall down and block my vision,” “I can't leave my helmet on the bike because it might be stolen or the weather might turn bad.”

Structure Detail
Each rib on the helmet is made of lightweight TPU and is designed with grooves. Buffering Effect When the helmet is crashed, the rib will deform and thus absorb the forces and reduces the consumables.
Using safety buckle on the top ribs, to buckle it together.

CORPORATE IDENTITY SYSTEM DESIGN A company we created in class called 舊時戴 (means old ages in English), which is a watch company that sell watch with Chinese style.
DM
I made the DM itself look like a watch, to bring out srtonger image of the company.
Package
The transparent window on the top with the logo, let people see the watch and remember the brand at the same time.
Other Works
3D ARTS PRACTICE City and Street I grew up in a big city. Everyday, I saw cars and people crossing around the street and alley. I wanted to show the image of the busy city with its street look like maze.
Rhythm To me, round shape over and over again give me the rhythm feeling, and thus, I cut the paper into certain shape. With the light spots on it, it started to dance.
Trash assignment The interesting in this project is that it was only made with the trash that people didn't want anymore. Recycle pen holder To prevent it become a trash that I don't need again. I decided to design something that I needed in the first place, a pen holder.
Hard paper board and acrylic sheet created repeated pattern that brings the beauty.
Transparent holder helps me find the item quickly. The rotatable feature brings convenience. After 3 years pass, I am still using it on my desk.
LINE STICKERS & THEME
Using my own stickers and theme had always been my dream. I want to use the illustration to represent my life, and maybe find connection with other people's lives.
