Weekly Process Report(Week 4)

Summer Cao
The format of the rational is not linked with each other. The style of the each page could be more related. The design of the label need to be more.

Tianyu Zhao
The information about the user intake could put into the rational. The analysis of the table and date is good. However, more perfessional information need to prove in the rational.

Sam
It is good to drawing the user guide to teach the user. User guide can be used on label.
Describe of the picture is fine and the anaylsis is not enough. Some more drawing need to include.

Weekly process report (week 3)

Lucy
The idea of two linked drawer is new. However the handle on the right hand side is quite weak.
It would be good to make it more strong, may be change the hard material.

Zikang Chen
 Linked drawer is fine. The drawer is to flat which is not work with the body part.
The merge on the back of the main part is to disgusting. It should be put inside.

Sam
The improve of the idea is nice. The two drawer is not work well in the model. Need to think more about the material or some other detail. It would be better to put some more mark on the label which can remain customer how much they take.

Video Reflection B

This four video bring me lot information. It uses the simple image and interesting explains the manufacture crisis in our society.

The story of stuff gives me the general idea of what crisis we facing of manufacture. It shows the relation between the environmental and social issue. A quick look of product’s life has been given in the video. It started from extraction to production to distribution to consumption to dispose. I am in shock of how we take the dioxin from the whole process and what we done to the environment. As a designer how can I make the change to this situation?  This need to take into consider in my future design.

Electronic product is common stuff in our life. It is also represent the crisis of the manufacture. The electronic product used the great number of different type of material.  The workers need to work with dioxin during production.  The safety of the employer cannot be protected. All these dioxin also bring to the user. However, the lives of these products are quickly end in the Chinese recycling shop. Every year, there has 25million tons electronic product be wasted. This huge waste is unfriendly to our environment and unsustainable. 

Compare to the electronic, the cosmetics are connect with our body directly. It has been used directly on our body everyday and more one type. I know it has some constituted is not good. However it still scared to see how it damaged our body.  It is such serious crisis to everyone but as the designer I have no idea how to change it. That’s a horrible thing that you still need to use those cosmetics on your body even you know it may bring the cancer.  The marketing give you no choose of it.

Not like the cosmetics which damaged our body, bottled water not influences our health direct. However, it is waste of the material, energy and has nothing better than the tap water. Although I never realized how serious problem the bottle water can bring to our society, I am not the one who supports the bottle water. Now, I am pride that I am not the one who likes the bottle water. The every process on the bottled water manufacture is creating the waste.  Is that’s necessary to using the resource and energy to produce the bottle for these water and using the energy to transported the bottle water for less than 10mins drink?

Making the change to the world is the thing I expect in my design.  The problem we facing is the entire thing that I can challenge. Knowing the problem, facing the problem and fix the problem.

Three take home message:

-The manufacture should be sustainability, equality, green chemistry, zero waste, closed loop, production, renewable energy, local living economic.

-The consumption habit can be changed.

-To increasing the life of the product reduce the waste of the product need to be considering into deign.

Weekly process report( week 2)

Summer(Cao)
The idea of Can is challenge and not easy to process.
The idea of the cereal box is good to improve more.

Ling
The cereal box is interesting. However it is not good idea to control the intake of customer. The liquid bottle for the elder is a good idea, but the design is weak.

Sam
The topic of food waste is common. It is good to reseach more about the packaging. Change the open method is not the only way to control the quanlity. On the other hands, the intake for different people may be different.
