Portable Heating Bottle Product Design Individual Project

The portable heating water bottle can be used anywhere and anytime. Many people urgently require warm water when outside; thus, a portable water-heating bottle fills this need.

More importantly, the proposed solution tackles need in different groups of people, from mothers requiring warm milk to elders who prefer to have their water-friendly ready for consumption.

B ack g r ou nd & Mot i vat ion

01

Warm water is essential for some specific segments of the population. For example, a family needs to mix milk powder for their baby using warm water. Mountain climbers, elders, or people who feel cold may need heated water to stay hydrated and warm respectfully. However, warm water is quite challenging to obtain outdoors, and products that solve that obstacle require a power outlet to work.

Moreover, if the warmed water is not used up ultimately, it contributes to wasted energy and damages the environment.

This design will create a portable heating bottle that can heat water anywhere and anytime. The bottle also is friendly to the environment. For example, water will not be heated to hot temperatures, and therefore, it will reduce energy waste.

and experience. The questionnaire results demonstrated their preference for water bottles and which type of material is more attractive to them. The assessment recorded the choice of drinking temperature for the participants and how much water they drank (in mL). This data was a reference for design development. After conducting experiments to determine the optimal method for generating electricity using human power, I have concluded that the electromagnetic approach works best in the case of the water-heating bottle.

The research data inspired me, and I immediately visualized the ideas on paper. Having presented them to the target group, I received feedback and opinions on the sketches, forming the final version of the proposed design.

YI ZHEN Product Design Individual Project

The name of YI ZHEN is translated directly from Chinese, meaning Taiwanese folk art performance. Ba Jia Jiang is a part of Taiwan's folk belief. As guardians of the mortals, they can travel between Ying (ghost space and heaven) and Yang (human space) to carry out their duty of upholding justice and casting out demons.

Just as the incense eliminates odors, repels mosquitoes, and calms one's spirit, Ba Ja Jiang serves to eradicate evil and stabilize the mind.

Loyal and Faithful Product Design Individual Project

Ba Ye ended up drowning because he refused to break his appointment with Qi Ye. Seeing that his dear friend died waiting for him, Qi Ye chose to hang himself. Ba Ye symbolizes loyalty, while Qi Ye symbolizes comradery. In tea utensils, the tea strainer is akin to the ever-waiting Ba Ye, always clinging on to the cup's rim. In his attempt to save his good friend, Qi Ye turned into a teaspoon which removes water.

B ack g r ou nd & Mot i vat ion

According to the summary of literature research. Ba Jia Jiang has eight members in the team, including Ba Ye and Qi Ye (Loyal and Faithful). The origin of Ba Jia Jiang has five kinds of saying, and the three most common ones are: 1. They were thieves in the mountain after being conquered by Cheng Huang.

2. They performed an exorcism of evil spirits for the Wufu Emperor.

3. Ba Jia Jiang evolved to appear also as bodyguards to Wang Ye and Matsu and at many other temples.

Most people think the Ba Jia Jiang is very dignified. A part of people believed they looked scary and messy. The biggest motivation for the project was to turn people's lousy impression of Ba Jia Jiang into a good impression and reduce a sense of fear of them.

Household items are the products that people will most often use in daily life. If the standard product combines with the unfamiliar culture to people, they might be getting used to it. It took action from the folk art performance of Ba Jia Jiang into the sketch.

Finally, the decision is the incense burner as design development. The incense burner can ultimately show the concept that Ba Jia Jiang eliminates terrible things.

The design process was divided into three stages. The first stage was making plaster molds, the second stage was to use the mold to copy the product, and the last step was to take ceramic to fire and glazing.

It took a long time t o f i n i s h t h e p ro d u c t i o n process because this was my first time learning this skill. I failed numerous times throughout this process, but I was getting the hang of it. I learned a lot in this process, and I understood that it differed from my initial expectations.

Blessing Product Design Individual Project

The original symbol of Ba Jia Jiang brings peace and safety to people. Due to many social issues, people gradually become afraid of them. The biggest fear is from their face painting, making them more serious.

This design will break people’s fear of them and retain respect for them.

Transforming the most figurative painting on their faces into household items makes daily necessities more colorful and cultural features.

The majesty of the Ba Jia Jiang is from their dress, action, and face painting. Th

very cultural, and they use a lot of bright colors, lines, and blocks to combine. The face of each of the eight roles represent different meanings.

This study is about the face painting features of Ba Jia Jiang. I hope to comb

painting with the daily necessities to create products with traditional innovative style needs produce another brand new look.

In this project, I used the Rhinoceros to build 3D models. It was not particularly challenging, and however, I still encountered some difficulties. I am glad to have learned a lot from this project, especially building and printing in 3D, which overall, is a beneficial experience for me as a product design student.

The spoon's handle refers to the hat of Ba Jia Jiang, and it takes the form of twisting. On the spoon's surface unique lines of Ba Jia Jiang cultures are painted.

The surface inside of the soy sauce dish depicts the lines of the face of Ba Jia Jiang. The internal lines of the soy sauce dish are not apparent before adding soy sauce, and the pattern can be seen clearly after adding soy sauce.

The bowl has eight angles that mean Chinese Bagua, and the two horns represent the majesty of Ba Jia Jiang. Tai Chi in the middle of the bowl means to make everything peaceful.

The chopstick holder and chopsticks design refer to the torture instruments that Ba Jia Jiang is holding. Turn the terrifying torture into beautiful tableware without losing the culture of Ba Jia Jiang.

Simplicity Product Design Individual Project

The flower-shaped tea set uses Hakka elements, combining the tung tree flower to represent the Hakka culture through the water cup. The team spirit of the Hakka people is like petals, and if one piece of the petal is missing, it will not be complete. When drinking tea with the cup, people can experience the atmosphere of Hakka culture. The saucer can also hold small cookies, making tea drinking not dull.

The difficulty level of this project did not match my initial expectations. Namely, the shape was not easy to control, and the thickness of the cup would be uneven if I didn’t handle it well.

Another difficulty was that the temperature of my palm was hot, so I needed to do it fast. Otherwise, the clay will dry out quickly.

This experience taught me more about handmade pottery, and in the future, I would like to learn more about its characteristics and ceramic products.
