01. SUSTAINABLE TOOTHBRUSH

Also the result of a contribution for Renderweekly, the durable toothbrush was designed to minimize the environmental impact related to the wear of this object. Indeed, the disposable part has been reduced to a minimum in order to make the use of plastic as profitable as possible.

Designer :Alexandre Touguet.

changeable toothbrush becomes more and more popular now because of sustainability.

This kind of brush is made of "brush" and a "holder" and they can be separated.

I think bravely, why not delete "holder" and only remain "brush" ?

Holder is flexible, soft so that can ensure people can rotate it to brush every gap of teeth. maybe AI tech can do the same thing.

02. LooBlade

Designer : Garry Stewart, invetor

It is a toliet brush.  minimaising the "brush"and replaced it by rotated shape so the product become very easy to clean.

Maybe I can change the material, shape and the other qualities of brush,just like this toliet brush which is not made by  "fur".

This is a mind map to start create visual dictionary.

First of all, I picked some words from research brief as a start point and then write these words related to them.

Tall Flow Pot

This is a art work which is made by Fenella Elms.

The twist shape of it is special because some think it is a feather, but the other will say it is the skin of dragon or a expend flower.

This make this ceramics more secretive which means different audiences may have different understands of it.

Background

''What percentage of cars in America are electric? According to sites like the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers, EV market share in the US is pretty low overall. Their data for 2017 shows that electric vehicles only comprise around 1.2% of all sales or 187,985 in total''

 

Problems of charging electric cars

This screenshot shows users can only use sites near their cars to charge.

Most of the car charging sites are not compatible.

So these to main problems become the reason of why people do not want to use electric cars.

Recycled design.

the lipstick inside can be recycled.

Material : 50% less plastic for each pods.

This design inspire me to create a recycling system for my product.

 

UTILITY MATERIAL RESEARCH

The main job for coconut is drinking and eating.

The shell of coconut after eating is waste but environmental friendly.

Some design companies use coconut shells to make bowls which are sustainable.

 

Example of coconut bowl.

Also, bamboo is a sustanable material we used today.

PROBLEM

This image shows the tooth problem we meet today.

The damage of teeth not only makes patients feel painful, but also the bacterial may kill the cells of gums  in their mouths.

 

RESEARCH

The structure of different teeth is different. So my brush need to clean each kind of tooth and the detail of it.

捕获_WPS图片.png

The general consensus amongst oral health care professionals is that individuals should spend at least 2 minutes brushing their teeth with an effective technique at least twice a day, though specific recommendations from national dental associations are frequently lacking. However, most estimates of actual brushing time vary between just over 30 seconds to just over 60 seconds.

So, the main reason of dental problem is short time brush.

From my observation, since saddle is product made to help riders to control high-speed running horses [moving objects], I searched information of saddle to analysis its structure.

I realized that the whole saddle is made by cushion and two stirrups which are connected by two latigos.

The material of saddle is leather which is can be twist to ensure safty of riders.

Latigos have large area and that is for minilise friction between legs and horses so that can reduce bruise.

PULL&PUSH

This is a pencil sharpen. Users can sharp the pencils by pulling and pushing .I like this product because the pencil rotates with sharpen inside when pulling it. The inner structure has three layers which are toothed gear[rotate] , sharpen , tooth gear respectively.
For the aspect of user experience ,users only need to push and pull to sharpen the pencil when they are busy. I think it is very user friendly. Further more the 'waste' of pencil can be collected inside.
