Selection of colors in consideration of target users and functionality
This radio is meant to realize functionality during a disaster with its easy-to-use home radio functions. With homemakers preparing survival kits the targeted users, white, orange, and silver were selected as the bright and distinctive colors as a feature of its emergency preparedness, and for it to stand out in case of a disaster.
Recharging handle design
To be able to carry the radio easily in case of a disaster, the body must be as compact as possible. Moreover, this radio has many functions that have previously been unavailable on radios of this type, such as a penlight and cell phone recharging function. The main issue involved in implementing functions on the recharger handle was the handle's design. If it were too short, people would have difficulty turning it. Therefore, the handle had to be of a certain length. Placing the handle on the back at an angle could have achieved the necessary length, but such a design would not have been able to convey the very essence of this radio, that of being a rechargeable emergency radio. Finally, we decided to place the handle on the front in a hook shape to ensure sufficient length and avoid interference with other functions.
Pursuit of ease of use by clarifying functions
This radio was aimed at improving ease of use by clearly dividing the function key positions: radio functions are on the front; the penlight and spot light are on the top and side, respectively. In addition, the radio and light part are divided, and the entire body consists of two colors, which not only improve design quality but also clarify function. Our goal in this design project was to make this radio compact yet very easy to use.

另外一个为遥控器,一个抱怨最多的东西,apple在发布New iMac G5的时候,也发布了apple遥控器,和iphone发布会上一样,jobs列出了一大堆其他排列很多按键的东西发问,我们需要这么多东西吗?但目前的主流遥控器仍然是这样子,而不是简单到apple遥控器,决定一个产品有很多很多的原因,并不是所有不是apple样子的东西,多按键的都是一幅德行的。
这个BRAVIA遥控器减少了按键并做到了易用,对按键的优先权作了分析,将大个的音量控制键放到最下面,用颜色和按键的形状区分不同功能的按键,将需要复杂操作的安置在最上面,按键和基体都使用黑色使其融为一体。由于这不是一个多用的遥控,它只能控制BRAVIA电视机,所以把频道键做大并放在中间,不断尝试将尺寸做到最佳。

设计是汽车的灵魂--解读凯迪拉克设计

未来汽车设计三大趋势
  追求整体性、以人为本、技术融合
  进入21世纪后,汽车设计的涵义重心已经在偏移,汽车已不单纯被看作是载人运物的工具,而日益和人们的各种生活需求相互渗透,成为未来生活方式系统中的一部分。未来的汽车设计,将有三大主要趋势。
  其一:未来的汽车设计将是整体性的。
  汽车将是艺术与科学的完美融合,体现汽车整体的和谐之美,而不是像现在的汽车设计只是一些零碎的构思和局部细节的改变,汽车不仅要满足人类功能上的需求,还要满足人类精神上的需求。
  其二:未来汽车设计的核心是人。
  随着科学技术的高速发展,人们在获得空前强大技术能力的同时,将开始回过头来审视科技对于人的影响和意义,在未来的汽车设计中,人的主体地位将再一次被强调,其核心问题将必然是人的行为方式和需求。汽车设计将越来越注意个性化的需求,而所谓的主流车型将越来越少。
  其三:体现多种技术的融合。
  信息技术、生物技术和新材料技术等将带动汽车设计的新一轮的革命,如全新的信息交流方式对传统交通概念产生巨大的冲击,信息传递、空间位移和目标系统实现方式的多元化将结合成为全方位、多维性的新的交通系统,未来的交通工具将不再是简单的代步工具,而进化成人的信息环境和生活空间。整合了信息技术、生物技术、新材料技术等多种技术的集大成者的未来汽车———它们会更加智能化、人性化,当然也会更环保,使用起来更简单,无人驾驶的汽车,水陆空多用汽车,组合式汽车都可能在并不遥远的将来出现在我们的生活中。  

不能机械地理解“中国元素”

德国人造车那么多年,何尝担心过没有所谓“德国元素”?如果非要总结出个所以然,说来说去也不过是“严谨”二字。可是别忘了, 严谨是德国人的通性, 并不是德国设计所独有

iPhone


iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.

去年八月份台湾国立故宫博物馆邀请droog的Gijs Bakker参加主持他们的一个训练营(workshop)–“新故宫,今古意”,探讨当地文化对全球设计的影响,为博物馆的礼品店设计新产品。有30个设计师参与其中,并有9个提案将以纪念品的形式实现,其中4个设计已经可供生产。
上图的为:糖块,博物馆里面有一件藏品是微雕小舟,只能通过显微镜来欣赏。用它来作礼品将是让人动心的事,这个设计将这叶小舟的复制品包裹在糖块里面,糖块融化,闲舟泛波。

BMW的神秘数码装置




这个消息应该让所有的数码产品制造商们震惊一下(在这之前,FIAT也让人大吃一惊),BMW居然开始生产这款神秘的数码产品,我们对宝马车的品质很有信心,而这款出自BMW的产品功能也是相当不赖:可以播放MP3,DVD,CD,拥有USB和蓝牙接口,语音识别,还有一个6万5千色的屏幕,不过,没有提到带导航系统(难道这不是装在汽车上?),也就是说,它很可能是独立的个人数码产品,我们很奇怪为什么汽车制造商要介入这个市场,但很显然,他们的这个市场策略对于品牌的提升是个不错的主意,在07年的一月中旬,我们会看到它,从网络地址来看,它有可能叫“Highend”(古词:高山仰止)。

Thanko 让你手暖暖鼠标


冬天到了,是不是需要一只能让你手暖暖的鼠标吧!(硬是要掰个开场)其实这只 USB 专家 Thanko 推出的手暖暖鼠标,严格说来也只是这只在外观上的重新设计(好看多了!),规格方面并没有差多少,都是具有 800dpi 分辨率的光学鼠,最高温能到达摄氏 45 度;仅支持 Windows NT/ME/2000/XP,所以说,Mac 的使用者,可能就没法享用了。售价上市日期未知,希望过了山上的冬季之前买的到啰!
