Background

As child obesity has become a significant social challenge, simply giving children healthy food is not enough. Children should understand food, physical activity, emotional well beings and how to combine these into a healthy lifestyle. By realizing the values of healthy eating and the gap of learning and sharing cooking techniques between generations. There is a growing trend towards parents wanting their children to develop healthy eating habits and acquiring basic life skills.

The system includes two parts; the first part includes the educational kits (recipe cards) and the second part incorporates the educational learning into a practical manner (working station). By providing different sets of recipe cards for children to organize a meal before cooking. It helps to invite both parents and children to play and learn together. Making the recipes more visualized by using graphic cards that represent the ingredients, cooking tools, and methods, and placing them in order on the board. It will help children to learn and memorize the names and looks of different food and cooking tools. It will also provide an easy access to the recipes, rather than looking into a book and find out what is the next step.

The system also includes a working station for children to prepare food in the kitchen. It is a tray that can be retrofitted into the drawers in the kitchen. It contains a working surface, mixing bowls, and a cutting tool. It creates a journey for children growing up and working in the kitchen. As children are growing up, the tray can be moved to upper drawers to change so that different heights can be compensated. The mixing and cutting devices are created for adopting children as well as ensuring the quality of chopping and mixing items. For the cutting tool, there is a blade/slicer in between, so the teeth will go through and chopping the ingredients when pressing down the lid of the cutting top.

Blo om

Bloom In partnership with the City of Toronto, creating concepts for the OpenCity Project to convert neighbourhood challenges into larger opportunities.

Commemorating and celebrating the history of Corktown to give the area an opportunity to remove its stigma and give it the reputation of being a cultural and historical significant neighborhood in Toronto. To improve peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling of safety, and connection with the environment that allows people to enjoy within the moment and what the place has to offer. Using TTC shelters to display photos will create a gallery- like experience for people walking and driving past. From close up, one can enjoy the details in each photo. From a distance, they will see blown up versions. These images will brighten up the area for passers-by and people in the park.

Winko

Winko Mobile Phone WINKO is a high performing mobile phone that was designed for TELUS, Inc. with a main target market in Canada for 2009. Design had to fit within the design language of the brand and a style led consumer segment, while working within the stipulated internal elements. Simple appearance of one screen divided in two, the software can stretch the top screen to go down further to provide a better and bigger view. Heat sensors embedded underneath the screen detecting the heat of your finger-tip for providing tactile feedbacks. Added texture on the top of the keypad section allows for touch-typing. Unique layout also maximizes space for alpha and numeric keys on one surface.

Disney - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Micorderâ&#x20AC;?

Disneyland symbolizes joy and happiness, and reminds people to cherish moments in their childhood lives. The purpose of this project was to create a system that would allow people to store and share their memories during their visits to Disneyland with their loved ones. The system includes music stations that are located in different areas of the park, and carrying devices. This gives the chance for people to add their own thoughts and feelings through sound and music into the device. With the pre-ordered information installed, the device works as a music player, a sound recorder, and a tour guide. People can use the Disney music or the leave behind CD as a medium to share their happiness and experiences with their families and friends.

Primark

primark

Rebrand To research the current brand situation of the company – Primark, and to provide proposed directions and recommendations to reshape the negative impression of the brand, and create a more suitable and stronger brand conception. Redesigned the logos and fonts and applied more dynamics with a feeling of confidence, freedom, young and modern to the brand image. Created a personality list and positioning statement of the brand to emphasis the company’s strong business strategy of high-speed fashion inspiration. By using the colour of black and white, it creates contrast and match with any other colour of clothing. Designed a logo of a flower and branches of silhouettes to create a sense of femininity, and provide a strong and more focus visual message.

< Brie Light >

Young Currently Primark is using two logos of brand name “Primark”. The one with navy colour was applied to the company since it opened, which looks like very traditional, old, historical and a bit boring. It doesn’t match the strategy of the company as quickly swap of high street fashion trend, and mass produced the stealing from the catwalk styles.

primark

Primark has been applied a lighter blue colour to their brand, that has definitely changed the feeling of the company to be younger and modern, but it only impress specific market targets, as there is not any relations between the blue colour and high street fashion. Also, Primark is using these two logos at the same time currently, which might confuse consumers of their market target, and what does the company try to deliver to the consumer.

Fresh

There is another logo which normally attach to the clothes is horrible. It looks just exactly like the parking sign, simply used a circle surround a letter P in navy, that reduce the temptation of shopping directly, and bring their brand reputation down to the bottom of the cliff. Dark blue is traditional and business like. Mid blues are technical and corporate. Lighter blues are contemporary and innovative. The most common associations made with blue are air, water, coldness and freedom. Blue is a colour that moves backward from the eye. Lighter blues can make an excellent backdrop for other colours

Brand Personality

Personally, I don’t want to change their brand name, because they already built up a high reputation in the public for selling the rapid copies from catwalk fashion. The position of Primark in its competitors has been climbed up rapidly, and became one of the biggest fashion retailers in the U.K. Therefore, I am going to redesign their logos and applied more dynamics and a feeling of confident, freedom, young and modern.

birds Saving the

Saving the birds - Jewellery Series A series of jewellery that raises the awareness of Canadian endangered birds through its design. Having the endangered birds incorporated into the design of the jewelry piece reminds people of the issue. The pieces contain the silhouettes of different kinds of endangered birds in Canada including: Piping Plover, Loggerhead Shrike, Kirtland's Warbler, and Whooping Crane. The bodies of the birds are made out of silver, and the black silhouettes of the birds symbolize the disappearing number of them. This creates a strong contrast of the birds and their endangered situations, as well as a negative feeling.

Totem - Hair p

Totem Hairpin

From a personal point of view, the Chinese – Canadian culture are mixing up and combining in a way where I am growing up. I chose significant symbols from both cultures and represent the idea of mixed cultures through what was created. Some of the pieces overlap, and some of them are connected. The Golden color represents Chinese’s rich and historical tradition, and the silver characterizes Canada’s modern and prosperous identity.
