24-7, LET'S GO!
Graphic Design / 2012
The most representative cultural characteristics in Taiwan, Twenty-Four Seven, show that many people have had no regrets dedicating their life to provide us the best services anytime. Our happiness of daily life is made possible with the help of their enthusiasm. The main concept of “24-7, Let's Go!” is depicting the idea that we all are family, and that’s exactly how we Taiwanese threat each others; wherever we go we are taken in with sincerity, enthusiasm, and a warmest heart. “24-7, Let's Go!” pay tributes to all the hard-working men and women out there, for their warmest services.

REUNION DINNER CODESIGNER Chuan-Syuan Peng
Packaging Design / 2011
The reunion dinner on the Lunar New Year ’s Eve is perhaps the most important occasion for all Taiwanese, and buying ready-made dishes instead of elaborate preparations is more popular than ever in recent years. However, we’ve noticed that the appearance of the packaging was often n e g l e c te d , c a u s i n g d i s a p p o i n t m e n t to t h e c o n s u m e r s a s t h e y ’ v e e x p e c t e d d i f f e r e n t l y. T h i s d e s i g n a i m s t o integrate the container and its casing, providing a pleasing experience both functionally and aesthetically.

PLATES
Six-piece set with different shapes according to the time needed for microwave. For example, the dish that requires 3 minutes of microwave has an organic shape of 3 pedals. The fish-shape indentation at the bottom of each plate traps the leftover sauce, while symbolizing prosperity for the coming year.
BOWLS
The bowl is also a lid. While packaging, the sealed upside-down bowls combined with sealed plates to minimize the volume.

HANDLE
Utilizing the handle of exterior packaging as the chopsticks’ box, which is made out of bamboo and capped with cork and imprinted with the date of coming year.
CHOPSTICKS
Chopsticks are carefully selected. Each of them has the natural bamboo joint in the middle and acting as a rest to prevent messing up the table and contaminate the chopsticks!
SOCIAL AWARENESS There are many underprivileged minorities are in needs which we have often neglected it. I would like to send a message for them through this design.

SPARE ME, PLEASE!
Graphic Design / 2011
please don’t eat my fins (Shark) Stop depriving their rights to survive for your own good. People often forget that they are threatening the animals while living a luxurious life, for example, shark finning for delicacies and pushing them to the brink of extinction. To address this issue in a humorous fashion: the shark , hoping not to be finned, painted itself like the adorable dolphins to survive.

SPARE ME, PLEASE!
Graphic Design / 2011
please don’t skin me (Crocodile) Stop depriving their rights to survive for your own good. People often forget that they are threatening the animals while living a luxurious life, for example, skinning the animals only for better appearance. To address this issue in a humorous fashion: the crocodile, hoping not to be skinned, disguise as creepy chameleon to survive.

STOP THE ORDER

Intern Project / 2012
Through the close cooperation between the industry and academia during a project execution, the industry gains the first-hand innovative ideas from the academia. On the other hand, the academia learns the requirement of professional skills of the industry. A design team was recruited including professional personnel from the automotive and electronic industries, exchanging knowledge and ideas for the initial design of a product. Members have come up with some interesting scenarios from different perspectives and in turns developed new features for vehicles.
