Transcript of William Duong Portfolio 2014
hi there!I’m William. I’m a fourth year Industrial Design student at UTS with a passion for objects and those who use them.
I believe design is a dynamic and essential tool that provides products with a depth and relevance. It has the potential to produce intuitive and innovative solutions to existing problems.
I aspire to use my skill and knowledge to improve the lives of others by restoring the relationship between a designed product and its user.

CONTENTS |
Design a fruit bowl inspired by nature.
The fruit bowl is to be manufactured by laser-cut
acrylic.
Production is to be streamlined and multiple bowls
produced for a local market.
MAZE FRUIT BOWLDESIGN BRIEF
Maze was inspired by the hexagonal tessalations of
honeycomb.
This particular design may be displayed singularly or
may elegantly contain and present fruit.
The bowl’s contents bare little weight on its structure
as it is dispersed to its base.
The bowl design has minimal wastage in the laser
cutting process.
A simple design that takes advantage of heated and
formed acrylic.

MAZE FRUIT BOWLMANUFACTURE
Design a closure with specific focus on accessibility.
The closure must demonstrate innovation in its
design and functionality; facilitating ease in use and
benefit in preserving the food product.
PROBLEM: Balsamic Vinegar has a distinct character,
and is used sparingly. It is packaged in glass
bottles with aluminium screw tops where closure
often becomes deformed through misuse leaving
product exposed. There exists numerous issues
with dispensing including wastage of a costly
product, spoiling of food, staining of packaging and
surroundings.
PRECISION POURERDESIGN BRIEF
The Precision Pourer allows single-handed control
pouring the product.
With a simple motion professional results are
achieved. Intuitive and effortless the closure design
enables easy access while maintaining an exceptional
level of security and hygiene.
Modification to the bottle lip increases accessability
in guiding the closure and incorporating a tamper
evident seal.

Modelled-in detailing [arrows] instruct user how to open-close the closure.
Second opening acts as a valve, allowing air in and product to flow out.
Quality Seal, adhered to glass bottle opening by induction.

Screw thread lowered to cater for new ‘Quality Seal’ tabs.
Elongated tabs to allow for increased ease in removal.
Vertical ribbing, for grip and ease in twist motion.

Quality Seal. Retains the quality of the product as some ingredients are volatile. Provides a secure seal during shipping and sale.
It is ideal that balsamic vinegar be kept in a dark environment and so often dark glass is adopted to aid in prolonging the shelf life of the product, and continued standard.
Raised detail on rotating axis to provide sensation of ‘locking’ and ‘unlocking’.
An allowance needs to be made for the access point to the coins, and an appropriate location of the reservoir (where the clay slip will be poured) in the mould.
DESIGN DETAILSThe aesthetic must appeal to the targeted audience. Any additional parts and com-plex detailing would require additional tooling and adhering of parts to achieve.
SIZEThe dimensions of the object must be appropriate to its functionality.[For the purposes of this design project the maximum size envelope has been restricted at:100mm x 100mm x 250mm
The symmetry of the design and any taper may be advantageous to production, it will reduce the number of mould-parts and ease assembly and disassembly minimising risk of damage.
COIN SLOT It must cater to all coin sizes and factor in the shrinkage from multiple firings. The location and design of the coin slot will establish a ritual of use of the object.
Design and produce a money box by method of
slipcasting for the designer homewares market.
With a white high gloss finish, the physical aesthetic
and detailing must complement the materiality.
The object should be appropriate to be displayed in a
study or living area.
PENNY BANKDESIGN BRIEF
PENNY BANKCONCEPTUALISATION
PENNY BANKDESIGN
The Penny Bank has been design with a masculine
yet elegant aesthetic. The clean lines and three
dimensional geometric fascade creates depth and
warmth in an otherwise hard and fragile object.
As the targeted audience has a larger disposable
income, the Penny Bank will be used to store loose
change, the removable lid allows quick access to the
coins for a bus ride or coffee run.
The domed detail in the lid assists the insertion of
coins as well as providing a location for keys or exact
change.

4. Cottle boards enclose the mould and clay seals any

5. Cottle boards removed to reveal part 1 of the tooling for
the first mould.

PENNY BANK• FOR HIM• FOR HER
FINALIST DESIGN
B.BOX an Australian company passionate about creating fun
and functional everyday baby essentials proposed the task of
designing a new infant feeding product for ages 0-3 years.
With a focus on practicality and innovation the product must
fit with the existing brand image and the B.BOX aesthetic.
THE ESSENTIAL FEEDING BOWLDESIGN BRIEF
‘The essential feeding bowl’ shown with ‘the essential travel bib’ from B.BOX.
The introduction of solid foods into an infant’s diet presents
them with new tastes and textures.
The compartments separate different fods, while the bowl’s
orientation and non-slip footing ensures that there are no
flipped bowls.
THE ESSENTIAL FEEDING BOWLDESIGN
A channel, guiding the infant’s spoon to train their fine motor skills while scooping
those peas and diced fruit.
Contoured to help spoon their purees and mash.
The non-slip footing with a wide lip catches any slips
and drips
Flexible base ensures that the lid is secure; it also facilitates the quick
removal of the lid.
The lid doubles as a bowl. Mum and dad can place a little from the bowl into the essential feeding bowl, and while bubs fiddles with the spoon, you feed them from your bowl. Non-slip base
stackable designwith clear window to
identify contents
Two-shot injection moulding is ideal for the manufacture
and production of the essential feeding bowl.
The selected process ensures a rapid and high turn over for
a relatively low cost when produced for B.BOX’s
existing markets both locally and internationally.
Two materials with different physical properties favourable
to the design and its user are thus able to be united as
well as incorporating multiple colours in the one piece for
greater visual appeal.

Made available in existing and new colour combinations,
the essential feeding bowl complements a variety of b.box
products to suit different tastes and preferences of prints
and colour.

The Bluebird Brekkie Bar is a sustainable pop-up cafe
run by the UTS Students’ Association.
Beginning originally as a trial, the upcycled stations
and furniture was in need of renewal with the
continuation of the cafe.
Suitable ‘found’ materials and those collected from
council pick-ups were to be used to continue with the
upcycling previously realised.
BLUEBIRD BREKKIE BAR- REVAMPDESIGN BRIEF
A core principle of upcycling is that found and reused
materials often still possess their structural integrity.
Their use in new applications should be equally
effective and suitable as new materials.
Participating in the Bluebird Revamp Project as a
member of a team, I was involved with the design
and construction of signage and assisted in the
construction and detailing of two “Scrape-n-Stack’
trolleys (return stations for used dishes).
BLUEBIRD BREKKIE BAR- REVAMPDESIGN BRIEF
As requested by the client, the signage needed to
be visible from all areas of the pop-up café and the
existing bunting (festive flags) suspended between
the stations were to be preserved.
BLUEBIRD BREKKIE BAR- REVAMPSIGNAGE: DESIGN
The signage was constructed from reused turned
furniture posts, pine dowels and hardwood poles and
plywood.
Suspended from a horizontal bar with small brass
eyelets and hooks, the double-sided signs were
fashioned with an ornate, rustic appearance. The
lettering was then stenciled and hand painted in the
signature azure blue, and an additional eyelet was
screwed into the top of each post as an anchor point
for the bunting.
BLUEBIRD BREKKIE BAR- REVAMPSIGNAGE: MANUFACTURE
The scrape-n-stack was to introduce a formal method
of housekeeping for eating utensils/ equipment
clean up; like the other trolleys it also needed to be
robust and durable.
[The frame was constructed by a
colleague Kelsey Krauter.
I was responsible for the table top, handles and
signage.]
