COFFEED

(Work In Progress)

COFFEED is a locally sourced café in Long Island City, Queens. The ingredients used in the menu are mainly from the partnership with Brooklyn Grange, an urban rooftop farm on top of the same building where COFFEED is located. COFFEED’s philosophy is to promote a more sustainable coffee drinking culture.

COFFEED Cycle Graphic

FRONT PAGE DESIGN The wireframe of the website was designed to focus on mainly 2 categories: ABOUT and SHOP in order to give users limited yet straightforward direction to the site. The shape of each button also corresponds the graphic styles in the content of each page.

PRODUCT ICONS DESIGN Considering most of the coffee drinkers may not have the professional knowledge to differentiate coffee beans in regions, countries, elevations, or processes, the cupping notes of each single origin coffee bean is emphasized in simple graphics. The background colors of each image also indicates the degree of roasting: light, medium, or dark.

DEPOSIT A GIFT Deposit A Gift is a start-up company where I have been interning for almost 3 months.

During the course of my internship, I have created over 70 website themes for premium users and assisted running website test, designed collateral for the company as well as social media and marketing flyers.

A new lifestyle has become popular through the assistance of internet which allows people to work remotely from anywhere and only need to communicate and submit projects online. Some utilize such advantage of internet to obtain a job while living in an almost nomadic lifestyle. This group of people is called the Technomad.

THE BRIEF of this project is to: 1. Come up with a fictional technomad and design a specific product that will assist his profession while he travels 2. Create a persona poster to help illustrate a clear idea of the technomad’s character and what he would carry throughout the journey.

KUAN-HUNG KUO /

郭 冠 宏

male, single, 24 taiwanese photographer/blogger/event promoter Based in Taiwan, Kuan-Hung travels around Asia shooting photos for events he is being hired to do. Known for his persistence of using only film photography for work, many venues have come to appreciate the skill and effort in the photography and hire him for various events across from wedding to nightclubs. Aside from photo shooting, he also designs flyers to help promoting events. Graduated with graphic design degree, Kuan-Hung also tries to earn extra income from freelance projects that are design related. Kuan-Hung likes simple and plain design, and he keeps it the same way in his dressing and lifestyle, too. One distinctive image Kuan-Hung has is that he always carries a kaleidoscope with him. It is one of his sources for inspiration.

PROBLEMS: Considering Kuan-Hung’s nomadic lifestyle and his persistence with films, a few he may face while traveling: + arduous process for developing films + cumbersome equipment to carry around + need to find a new facility to process films every time he moves to a new location

OBJECTIVES: A portable product that will help Kuan-Hung ease the process of developing film while the product itself can be functional during travel.

SOLUTION: BACKPACK + PORTABLE DARKROOM 1. Use it as a backpack to carry personal items 2. When in need, empty the backpack and put on the gloves provided on both sides of the backpack and process the films inside where it is completely light proof.

DAY CARE TOY What: an educational toy for the day care center Who: preschool day care children, 3-5 years old Where: Syracuse University South Campus Problem/Opportunity: Each instructor takes care of around 10 children, and there were 50-60 children in the room at a time. When visited, the room was full of toys everywhere on the floor. Cabinets were provided but was not enough storage for all the toys.

TOBY a mobile toy storage for bringing joy to the kids while they learn to put back toys after finished playing.

The center part is suspended on the dowel, allowing it to stay upright when it is rolled.

MBARA SCHOOL OVERCROWDING In order to reduce water related hygiene and disease problems in a small community of Mbara in northwest Kenya, Terry Hummerston (UK) and John Ywalasiwa (Kenya) founded the Water Projects. While the result was positive, the accomplishment has also brought up a new issue: school overcrowding. Many schools are facing lack of space and resources such as classroom supplies, textbooks, and most importantly, teachers, and this is causing the quality of education to decline. To address the new problem, Terry and John have reached design firms to address the overcrowding issue in the villages. And eventually the designs will be constructed by local craftsmen and field-tested in schools of Mbara.

PROBLEM/ OPPORTUNITY

In a typical classroom at Mbara, when an instructor wants to get the assignment from the student who is sitting further, often times the instructor’s hand will have to run into another student’s head.

An individual chalkboard writing device is being used in the classroom to answer questions. Students are sitting on the floor and using the devices where they have to bend down for writing.

OBJECTIVES + increase engagement in the classroom + encourage small group discussion + improve student-student interaction + improve teacher-student interaction

INSPIRATION

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table The round table suggests equal status to encourag engagements.

Chinese Dinning Turntable The dinning turntable in Chinese culture in contrast emphasizes a hierarchy. Main dishes are put on top of the turntable to share, but diners have to decide who gets to scoop the meal first, and it is to start with the elders to show respect.

While one is scooping, others must wait patiently and take turns. It is a great product to educate children the proper dinning manner.

CHALKBOARD TURNING TABLE The design is to encourage interactions between students and teachers.

The table has a chalkboard surface part that spins to promote the idea of sharing. Students can use it to share their creativity; teachers can use it to collect assignment as well as encouraging discussion in the classroom. It is also a great opportunity to educate students about proper manner on sharing and be patient on waiting others.

DIMENSIONS RESEARCH Average Dimensions For Children From 7-13 Years Old: [resourced from The Measure of Man and Woman: Human Factors in Design] Shoulder to Arm Length {15.6”-16.3”} = {39.6cm-41.4cm} Arm Length When Streches {24.5”- 25.4”} = {62.2cm-64.5cm} Sitting Buttock to Knee Length {13”} = {33cm} Sitting Knee Height {18.6”-19.3”} = {47.2cm-49cm} Hand Length {6.4”-6.8”} = {16.3cm-17.3} Fingers Length {4”} = {10.2cm} Materials Dimension: PVC Pipe Diameter {4”} Chalk Length {7.5cm} Marbles Diameter {3/8”}

PRODUCTION Taking the condition in Kenya into account, the production had to be built with low cost and low energy techniques. The making of a radius 55cm ring and a 45cm circle required a selfmade compass for the router. A wood panel was attached to the center of the circle with the router set at the other end at a desired radius, so the router could drill in a rotational direction. When the base and the ring were finished, marbles were put inside beneath the chalkboard to assist spinning.

Now draw, spin, and play!
