Human Behavior

Through my observation and some interviews with my friends,I find that when people brush their teeth, they would fill the cupwith clean water no matter how big the cup is. Actually most ofthe water is used to clean the toothbrush, which is definitely a waste of water.

Environmental Background

The environment has always been the most popular topic. As a limited resource, water should be valued.

Currently there are 2768 non-governmental environmental organizations of all kinds in China, and the total number of employees is 224 thousand. Among which there are 69 thousand full-time personnel and 155 thousand part-timers. These organizations have many outstanding features such as rejuvenation of employees, higher academic degree, strong dedication, and wide influence. About 80 percent of employees are young people under the age of 30, and over 50 percent of them have University degree or equivalent. What's more, 91.7 percent of these volunteers are not expecting any reward when participating in the environmental activities.

It can hold 150ML water, which can provide enough water for gargling.

Be based on the Tumbler Principle. You can put it on the commode conveniently even without the toothbrush cup.

The handle was made of rubber. We can inject water into it through extrusion.

Establishing of Levi’s In 1853, to clear off the backlog of canvas, Jewish young businessman Levi Strauss tried to make a batch of jeans which were low-rise, straight-legslacks, and tight hip circumference. These jeans were sold to the rifflemen in San Francisco. Surprisingly, this kind of jeans had a great vogue as they were more endurable than genes. Hence, Levi opened a company specialized in the production of canvas overalls, and used his name Levi's as the brand. This was when the Levi's legend began.

Cultural sign

The 19th century gold rush made the United States become a paradise for the rifflemen, which also helped America achieve its economic lift-off, created the American culture of aspiration, levity and freedom. This was very different from the blue-blood European culture which focused on delicacy and magnificence. Those Levi's jeans designed for the unruly riffemen, became the most direct expression of longing for freedom, independence and ideal. Hence from a certain angle, the Levi's jeans had already become a symbol of life attitude as they emerged, and then became the watershed between American style and European culture.

In people's heart, the Levi's Jeans which have been sold more than 3.5 billion pairs are not only the leader of fashion trend, but also a typical representative of American spirit, which has symbolic significance of

appeal and so on.independence, freedom,

adventure, sex

brandresearch characteristic

Since LS & CO had started to manufacture the first pair of jeans, the black pocket was sewed with unique double arc. The double arc was America's oldest clothing mark. Before automation was invented, all the double arcs had to be sewed by hand.

The red flag which was first added to the back pocket became the earliest brand tag. It made the Levi's more recognizable, and had spawned many imitators on other jeans brands.

Attaching metal nails into the top left and right corners made Levi's jeans even more popular as it broke the traditional style. The metal nails of Levi's Type 1 TM jeans were particularly magnified ,which brought people with much stronger feeling.

Surfacing of USB flash drives is remaining cloth during the production. It not only highlights the characteristic of Levi's, but also makes every single of USB flash drives unique. Meanwhile, it makes the product environmental friendly.

Levi's special little red flag is added to the center seam.

As for the cap, I adopt the unique double arc on the Levi's back pockets.

“Wake up naturally" alarm clock

This is the project what I pursued on my own

inspirationorigin

There is an old saying that goes: “An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.”Yet the first thing in the morning is to get up, which is extremely painful for most people. And this is why I want to design an alarm clock that can wake up people naturally..

sciencedescription

Seven good methods to

ease the pain of getting up

It is of great importance to go to bed at regular time. If you can't make it, then just try to get up on time. The actual sleep rhythm would coincide with your biological rhythm with six weeks, “the regular pattern is very significant to set biological clock,” Muth, a professor of psychology from Cornell University believed so.

In the morning after human body feels the sun light, the melatonin secretion inside human body declines, and the serotonin secretion increases. Hence the body metabolism start to speed up, and each body part gradually goes thorough a transition from heavy to light sleep till the whole body wakes up.

Have you ever found that it is very easy for you to hit the snooze button? This is because your brain has got use to ignore acquainted sound. Hence, you can take turns using two or three alarm clocks, or you can utilize the music to wake you up romantically as music can stimulates the flow of oxygen in the brain as well as blood, simultaneously, it can vitalize your body.

After waking up, taking a deep breath can relax your body for an entire day. Inhale slowly at first, as if to breathe in above your head, and then breathe out. Stay there for two seconds and do it again. This can let your body filled with fresh air in the morning, and make your day in fine fettle.

Find some water right away once you wake up. This will inform your body of the beginning of a brand new day. Human bodies would sweat as much as the quantity of a cup of water. Drinking wines the night before will make your body feel at the desert. So grab some water first, and go to the bathroom afterwards will make your body feel cozy.

The fragrance will stimulate your brain as well. It can improve the function of your consciousness, and drive away your drowsiness and fatigue.

Inflatable fish bowl changes the original material to make carrying more convenient as well as reducing the weight. It is safer and not afraid of being broken which can create a new fishing era.

Inflatable

fish bowl

The design of this product oriented in fish collectors aging from 10 to 25. The main innovative point lies in its form of inflation which can effectively reduce transportation costs. Meanwhile the material change from glass to plastics can reduce the production weights. As for the users, this change can make it easier for them to carry. In addition, it won't be as fragile as glassware and can extend the service life. Moreover, it's concise style is suitable for all kinds of indoor environment in use.

This is a group assignment with the member of Mingqiang Xu and Shuye Qian. November.2011

In childhood memory, we always looked through the soda bottle, which feels fun. “Bottle-telescope” is not only a soft drink bottle, but also a simple telescope. The convex heavy sheet glass on the bottom serves as convex lens, and the concave transparent soft on the lid can serve as concave lens. In this way it looks just like a telescope, which can also reminds of that memory after drinking up the soda.
