Part 1: Concept Design
When sweeping the room, we are frequently faced with a problem
that it is hard to see some blind areas such as corners under
cabinets or floors under beds because of insufficient light. This
inconvenience impedes us from cleaning there. LIGHTING-UP is
designed to solve the problem by giving out light, and thus sweeping
those blind areas becomes much more convenient.

LIGHTING-UP is an inspiration when we thought about problems that light can solve in our
daily life. We found that LIGHTING-UP can provide solution to a common sweeping problem
- hard to see dark corners. So we decided to realize this concept by ourselves. We are now
finding opportunities to put it into the market.
The problem of sweeping dark areas is easily to be
ignored. However, there are more than 13 million people
suffering from night blindness in the world and most old
people have hyperopia, who would surly feel difficult to
sweep trash away from dark corners. Even people without
vision diseases will find it hard. In this case, we found
it very necessary to design a product which can help
people see clearly when they sweep the dark corners.
Too dark. It is invisible to sweep
away the rubbish here.

The whole system is to reuse
water that has washed hands to
flush the toilet. In the public toilet,
water that washes people's hands
will go to the water storage tank
in the middle of the wall. When
someone presses the button
to flush the toilet, water stored
could be reused instead of being
wasted.

Taipei International Design Award 2013: Distinction
Design Team: Gao Yuan, Wei Xinyi, Ye Yiwen, Zhao Yi - 2013 Jul
My role: design research/structure & material analysis/model making
This idea came from one of our brainstorming sessions. When we talked about
conservation of water resources, there is much to do in public toilets for water
conservation. The difference between male and female restrooms inspired the
design.
SYSTEM
The whole system is to reuse
water that has washed hands to
flush the toilet. In the public toilet,
water that washes people's hands
will go to the water storage tank
in the middle of the wall. When
someone presses the button to
flush the toilet, water that has been
stored could be reused instead of
being wasted.
INTERACTION
Public Toilets Water-Saving
System makes public toilet much
more environmental-friendly.
Although the men's room and
the women's room is separated
by a wall, they share the same
system and make benefits to
each other, which leads to secret
interaction between men and
women.
Water which people have washed hands with has the priority to flush the toilet.
However, if it is not sufficient, clean water will be replenished.
BEFORE AFTER
waste water when flushing the toilet save water by reuse
WASHING
FLUSHING
When people wash hands, water will fill in the water storage tank. If the tank
is full, then water in it will go out through the pipe at right.
When people flush the toilet, waste water in the tank will be firstly used. If it is
sufficient to flush the toilet, clear water could be saved.
However, if the water in the tank is insufficient, clear water will go in the tank
to supplement the flushing. This action is controlled by float ball self closing
valve connected to the pipe at left.
It is the prototype of Public Toilet Water-Saving System Design. We just made the most
important part of it to reflect our design idea. These are photos taken by me.

DONATION POSDonate small change in your card while purchasing by credit card
As we are now using credit card to purchase more frequently
than cash, the behavior to insert small change into donation
box is disappearing. DONATION POS is designed to pick up
the traditional donation habit in a new way that people could
choose to donate a little money while swiping credit card.
DONATION POS
Concept Design
Personal work
Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 Jul
My role: concept output/design research/product design
When you eat out, you may see a donation box that encourages you to make
a contribution to the underprivileged. Often when it captures your eyes, it also
reminds you that..."Oh, I don't have any change"...then you might walk away
with half guilt and half justification. Nowadays, we use credit cards more often
than taking cash out. So, a DONATION POS is given birth to turn your guilt and
justification into your contentment of your helping hands.
At time we purchase
in cash, we usually got
small change from the
salesman. Most of us
would insert those small
change into donation
box. However, we are
now more likely to
purchase by credit card
than in cash so that
this habit is hard to be
preserved. DONATION
POS could solve this
p r o b l e m b y l e t t i n g
people donate small
change in their card
through it.

The small change gathered
through DONATION POS
will go to red cross which
could help people in need.
One-sheet Hangerpak is formed by a piece of plastic, so that it is convenient to be

into a hanger.

Package Design
Personal work
Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 Apr
My role: concept output/design research/product design
After buying clothes, we usually throw the packaging away once we arrive
home. However, this is wasteful. I discovered a way to utilize the packaging
after arriving home - transforming it into a hanger.
One-sheet Hangerpak is formed
by a piece of sheet, so that the
production of it is relatively efficient
and convenient. In addition, it is easy
to be transported and carried. The
material of One-sheet Hangerpak
is made of plastic that could proof
water.
TOUCHING NEWS
Handrails that can tell news in public spaces
TOUCHING NEWS is designed to provide real time news in Braille on street handrails
which the blind usually hold while walking. News on the handrails updates every one hour
so that blind people can ‘grasp’ the latest news through the handrail.
Concept Design
Personal work
Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 May
My role: concept output/design research/product design
Blind-friendly design is often discussed. As I always think what blind people can do while
walking on the street as they cannot see the views and shops beside them, I thought up
TOUCHING NEWS which can provide them with daily news while they touch handrails. It
is a combination of product and technology.
Pillars, six of which constitute one letter in Braille,
could go up or down to make up different letters.
Pillars change their height every one hour under the
control of WIFI, and thus characters on the surface of
the handrail would change. In this way, news updates
every one hour. Blind people could get real time
news when walking on the road in public spaces.

It is an idea from our brainstorming. As we found that handmade soaps have a
big market but are in lack of a platform for customization.
SOAPMAKIES is an online platform for handmade soap customized sale.
Customers can choose different raw materials which best suit their skin. They
can create their own soap themselves or get a workshop to handle this for
them.

Guiding U
Guiding U is a mobile APP to guide tourists around the Six Harmonies Pagoda in Hangzhou. It uses different games
to introduce parts of the tower, which could attract more young sightseers.
APP Design
Assignment of the course User Experience and Product Innovation Design
Design Team: Gao Yuan, Ye Yiwen, Wei Xinyi - 2012 Oct
My role: concept output/design research/flow chart/video production
We aimed to design an APP for Six Harmonies Pagoda tour guiding. Although the sight spot has a long history, it is
not that popular especially with younger tourists. We therefore combined games with an introduction in Guiding U to
attract more young people.

Harmonies Padoga itself as an example. When press the icon of Six Harmonies
Padoga, you will see seven floors. On each floor, we prepared different kinds of
games for you to help you better understand items on this floor.
Multiple-choice question
Firstly, there is a brief introduction of a certain spot
in Six Harmonies Pagoda and a question will be
asked. Users are supposed to choose one answer
among four choices.
Tracing the Pattern
Picturing
There is a pattern on the interface belonging to
Six Harmonies Pagoda in that floor. Users are
supposed to trace the yellow line as fast as they
can. If they could finish within required time, they
succeed in this game. If not, they can try again.
Users are supposed to find the scenery of the
photo and then take one alike. If the similarity is up
to 90%, they are successful in this game.
USEPA
USEPA is a website that displays a visualization of environmental conditions in the
US. In addition, there are all kinds of projects protecting the environment created
by government or companies who want to run those projects through crowdfunding.
Through this online platform, all citizens have the right to vote for those projects as
well as donate money to them.
Web Design (Utilization of Big Data)
Assignment of the course Information Design
Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 Jun
My role: concept output/design research/flow chart/interface design/video production
Inspired by the Smart City from IBM, we focus on big data about environmental
protection. We wanted to visualize the data and make it public online so that everyone
can understand the state of the environment directly. Government or companies can
also raise funding for projects regarding environmental protection on this platform.

airquality/airdata/index.html
WHY USEPA
According to the survey taken by SEEA, environmental
protection has become one of the important issues in the
world. So we want to focus on the big data from this field.
Making environmental monitoring data known to the
public is quite important, for the reason that it can
arouse people’s sense of environmental protection and
let them join in real environmental projects taken by the
government. In this case, we want to set up an online
platform which could involve the whole society to protect
our environment. This web takes the US as an example.
PURPOSE of USEPA
Establish an online platform to involve all citizens in
environmental protection.
FUNCTION of USEPA
1.Bring all environmental monitoring data into the open.
2.Bring all governmental projects in environmental
monitoring into the open.
3.Let everyone vote for projects as well as invest them.
4.Let everyone supervise those governmental projects
and give feedback to them.

Intern in IDS Design Company
This unmanned aerial vehicle is mostly made of carbon fiber and the material on the top is plastic considering carbon
fiber would disturb GPS antenna there. Therefore, the whole vehicle is lightweight. In addition, the molding of its body
resembles the bullet so as to minimize the fluid resistance. It can be both four-armed and six-armed according to
different usage. Every arm bares a landing gear to keep steady while landing. Devices such as camera can hang on
the hook under the vehicle.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Intern in IDS Design Company
When the vehicle is landing, the bottom of its body
is 300mm from the ground and a camera shorter
than 250mm can be hung under it.
As it is big in size, its inertia
is powerful. The tyre and

If you cannot see some words clearly in 100%, you can magnify it even bigger. 2. There are some links of video in the PDF, you can just click on them to open the video.
  • 4. When sweeping the room, we are frequently faced with a problem that it is hard to see some blind areas such as corners under cabinets or floors under beds because of insufficient light. This inconvenience impedes us from cleaning there. LIGHTING-UP is designed to solve the problem by giving out light, and thus sweeping those blind areas becomes much more convenient. LIGHTING-UPEasy to see blind angles while sweeping the floor
  • 5. LIGHTING-UP Concept Design Reddot design award: Best of the Best 2013 Design Team: Gao Yuan, Wei Xinyi, Ye Yiwen, Zhao Yi - 2013 Jul My role: concept output/design research/structure & material analysis/testing & modification/all photography LIGHTING-UP is an inspiration when we thought about problems that light can solve in our daily life. We found that LIGHTING-UP can provide solution to a common sweeping problem - hard to see dark corners. So we decided to realize this concept by ourselves. We are now finding opportunities to put it into the market.
  • 6. The problem of sweeping dark areas is easily to be ignored. However, there are more than 13 million people suffering from night blindness in the world and most old people have hyperopia, who would surly feel difficult to sweep trash away from dark corners. Even people without vision diseases will find it hard. In this case, we found it very necessary to design a product which can help people see clearly when they sweep the dark corners. Too dark. It is invisible to sweep away the rubbish here. switch wires battery LED optical fibers
  • 7. Where can LIGHT come from Clothing Food Transportation Housing Light + Broom = A new product Function of light: Light up environment Problem-oriented thinking: Sweep dark angles
  • 8. The whole system is to reuse water that has washed hands to flush the toilet. In the public toilet, water that washes people's hands will go to the water storage tank in the middle of the wall. When someone presses the button to flush the toilet, water stored could be reused instead of being wasted.
  • 9. Public Toilets Water-Saving System Design System Design Taipei International Design Award 2013: Distinction Design Team: Gao Yuan, Wei Xinyi, Ye Yiwen, Zhao Yi - 2013 Jul My role: design research/structure & material analysis/model making This idea came from one of our brainstorming sessions. When we talked about conservation of water resources, there is much to do in public toilets for water conservation. The difference between male and female restrooms inspired the design.
  • 10. SYSTEM The whole system is to reuse water that has washed hands to flush the toilet. In the public toilet, water that washes people's hands will go to the water storage tank in the middle of the wall. When someone presses the button to flush the toilet, water that has been stored could be reused instead of being wasted. INTERACTION Public Toilets Water-Saving System makes public toilet much more environmental-friendly. Although the men's room and the women's room is separated by a wall, they share the same system and make benefits to each other, which leads to secret interaction between men and women.
  • 11. Water which people have washed hands with has the priority to flush the toilet. However, if it is not sufficient, clean water will be replenished. BEFORE AFTER waste water when flushing the toilet save water by reuse WASHING FLUSHING When people wash hands, water will fill in the water storage tank. If the tank is full, then water in it will go out through the pipe at right. When people flush the toilet, waste water in the tank will be firstly used. If it is sufficient to flush the toilet, clear water could be saved. However, if the water in the tank is insufficient, clear water will go in the tank to supplement the flushing. This action is controlled by float ball self closing valve connected to the pipe at left.
  • 12. It is the prototype of Public Toilet Water-Saving System Design. We just made the most important part of it to reflect our design idea. These are photos taken by me. Details of the model Process of model making
  • 13. DONATION POSDonate small change in your card while purchasing by credit card As we are now using credit card to purchase more frequently than cash, the behavior to insert small change into donation box is disappearing. DONATION POS is designed to pick up the traditional donation habit in a new way that people could choose to donate a little money while swiping credit card.
  • 14. DONATION POS Concept Design Personal work Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 Jul My role: concept output/design research/product design When you eat out, you may see a donation box that encourages you to make a contribution to the underprivileged. Often when it captures your eyes, it also reminds you that..."Oh, I don't have any change"...then you might walk away with half guilt and half justification. Nowadays, we use credit cards more often than taking cash out. So, a DONATION POS is given birth to turn your guilt and justification into your contentment of your helping hands.
  • 15. At time we purchase in cash, we usually got small change from the salesman. Most of us would insert those small change into donation box. However, we are now more likely to purchase by credit card than in cash so that this habit is hard to be preserved. DONATION POS could solve this p r o b l e m b y l e t t i n g people donate small change in their card through it. BEFORE & AFTER
  • 16. Vocal area Buttons Slot To donate moneyNot to donate money While swiping the credit card, you can choose whether to donate money. If not, then just swipe through white area, as the first picture shows. If you choose to donate, then swipe both white and red area, as the second picture shows. The small change gathered through DONATION POS will go to red cross which could help people in need.
  • 17. One-sheet Hangerpak is formed by a piece of plastic, so that it is convenient to be transported and carried. In addition, it is easy to pack the clothes as well as change into a hanger.
  • 18. One-sheet Hangerpak Package Design Personal work Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 Apr My role: concept output/design research/product design After buying clothes, we usually throw the packaging away once we arrive home. However, this is wasteful. I discovered a way to utilize the packaging after arriving home - transforming it into a hanger.
  • 19. One-sheet Hangerpak is formed by a piece of sheet, so that the production of it is relatively efficient and convenient. In addition, it is easy to be transported and carried. The material of One-sheet Hangerpak is made of plastic that could proof water.
  • 20. TOUCHING NEWS Handrails that can tell news in public spaces TOUCHING NEWS is designed to provide real time news in Braille on street handrails which the blind usually hold while walking. News on the handrails updates every one hour so that blind people can ‘grasp’ the latest news through the handrail. Concept Design Personal work Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 May My role: concept output/design research/product design Blind-friendly design is often discussed. As I always think what blind people can do while walking on the street as they cannot see the views and shops beside them, I thought up TOUCHING NEWS which can provide them with daily news while they touch handrails. It is a combination of product and technology.
  • 21. Pillars, six of which constitute one letter in Braille, could go up or down to make up different letters. Pillars change their height every one hour under the control of WIFI, and thus characters on the surface of the handrail would change. In this way, news updates every one hour. Blind people could get real time news when walking on the road in public spaces.
  • 23. Web & Business Design Assignment of the course Product Business Strategy Design Team: Gao Yuan, Zhao Yi, Wei Xinyi - 2013 May My role: concept output/design research/flow chart/interface design/video production It is an idea from our brainstorming.

Web Design (Utilization of Big Data) Assignment of the course Information Design Designer: Gao Yuan - 2013 Jun My role: concept output/design research/flow chart/interface design/video production Inspired by the Smart City from IBM, we focus on big data about environmental protection. We wanted to visualize the data and make it public online so that everyone can understand the state of the environment directly. Government or companies can also raise funding for projects regarding environmental protection on this platform. Introduction video(Highly recommend): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5iQnGu-j1c
  • 36.
