【Sweets】Bathroom design.

 

嬌豔欲滴的紅唇,

要往裡頭小便,恐怕也需要一點勇氣吧。

都聽過有人在公共廁所的小便斗畫上蒼蠅,

利用男性的微妙心態輕易的保持了整潔。

現在,有了進階版。

結合了壓力感應的小便斗可以玩遊戲,

或許在有趣 清潔的考量之外,

也因為愛往廁所跑,促進了男性的代謝健康也說不定。(笑)

【Project】Papercutting-3

  
 
I found two toasters on the Internet which could put molds in.

But both of them have special structure to put their special molds.

It's quite uncomfortable.



I decide to design a mold which can use in all the toasters.

So the first step is understand it's structure.


The constitution of toasters are quite the same.

The toaster use metal nets to grip the toasts, and roast them.



After thinking over the constitution of toaster,

I want to do a mold which can catch on the toaster.

otherwise it would have difficulty to take out.

It should be flat for equally heated.


I have decided what I want to do,

it's time to have a test and making a model.

【Project】Papercutting-2

 
 
Traditional paper-cutting use scissors to cut paper.

Paper-cut is important skill for Chinese woman in the past.

They use them to decorate house when celebrations.

It's a pristine crafts and a life-closing art.




To make a 2D pattern become a 3D product,

I don't want just put patterns on something.

So I want to use the shape of them.


One of my ideas is a table.



Circle table with two parts.

In old China, when the husband leave home,

maybe to serve in the armed forces or to have a business travel,

the wife would take the table apart and become two semicircle tables.

Less people use less place to be at the table.

When the husband back home they combine these two tables,

togetherbecame a full, perfectly circle.

A couple get together so does the table.

It can be a teapoy,or a table, free use of place.


Another idea is toaster molds.

The toasters with molds are not many,

and the changeable molds toasters are even quite a few,

so there was difficulty for researching.

【Project】Papercutting-1

  
 
Our first project of Basic Design is about papercutting--

To make it become a 3D product.

We have to search on the Internet about papercutting,

maybe about how to make it, how to use it ,

and kinds of patterns as more as possible.

Our teacher said that the more imformation we get,

the more design we can do.







After searching, we could know more detail for my ideas.

And after getting ideas we also have to research.

Finding the ways to display my idea,

and get some inspirations from surfing.

To get ideas is easily, but get special idea is much more difficult.

Many of my ideas are just about put something on a thing.

I don't like those idea.

Finally, I choose two of them to think more detailand ,

and share with my teacher and class.

These two products are table and toaster molds.

I will choose toaster mold to make.

Though it is more difficult for me to made it,

there will be some problems about how to choose metal,

and it's also not general, so I just can find a little imformation.

So I'm afraid I will fail.

But all I can do know is try hard to cut through it.

Wish I have a good luck!
