	Course: IAT 431 - Speculative Design


Role: User-Research, Graphic Design, Prototyping, Branding Design, Camera &#38;amp; Video editing


Tool: Illustrator + Photoshop + Premier + After Effect + 

Figma 


Duration: 2 Weeks
Critical Design Mini-Project Sex Bomb, which is a product we design for possible near-future where emerging biological technologies intersect with social activism to create products with the appearance of celebrating female sexuality. Due to a lack of consideration for the nuances of institutionalized gender inequality, this actually worsens the culture of shaming.

	Discovering the Problem
Women who lack satisfaction in sexual activities are unwilling or unable to speak about it with their partners due to feelings of shame or fear of being dumped.


Female artists and designers are attempting to normalise the imagery and discussions around female sexuality, but getting pushback about morality and obscenity.


Advocates disagree about what is exploitative and what is empowering. Artwork that depicts women in sexual or naked positions: is that objectifying/harmful, or is it empowering? Does it depend on who created the work? Who is “allowed” to speak about this topic?


What kind of design is occurring in the domain of this topic?

	Osé


Female-Focused PleasureOsé is a robotic massager created in partnership with Oregon State University's Robotics &#38;amp; Engineering Lab.  And Osé focuses on providing female pleasure through combining human sensuality and technological innovation into a tool, using natural motions such as a finger stroking rather than vibrations.&#38;nbsp;


	In 2018, Osé won the Robotics Innovation Award at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). However, the award was later taken away as the device was deemed “immoral, obscene, indecent and profane”.

	LiaHide the evidenceIn 2017, a start-up in the United States called Lia created a biodegradable pregnancy test that breaks down like toilet paper in water.


Lia’s breakthrough technology makes it the first and only flushable and biodegradable pregnancy test. Lia is engineered to be discreet and good for the environment, without sacrificing accuracy.
	

Lia comes from a place of positivity, to erase anxiety about someone finding their pregnancy test. However, this poses the question: Why do we feel the need to hide evidence of our sexuality?


	Design ProcessContext: Female sexuality is a social construct. However, people have attributed arbitrary physical and physiological characteristics to it (presence of hymen, tightness of vagina, blood, arousal time, etc) and use it as a represention of social characteristics such as morality and innocence. By doing so, this creates a culture of shaming that punishes women sometimes for being too revealing and sometimes for being too private.


Goal: Through the observation of the real world, design a product that is likely to appear in the future world and seems to be very helpful to women increases the culture of humiliation and leads people to think about sex discrimination against women.

ProductSex Bomb allows women to change their sexuality to be whatever they want, deconstructing the assumptions around sexuality as a permanent factor on our worth as a person. The form of a bath bomb takes what is traditionally seen as yet another inconsequential female cosmetic product into something that has the potential to create waves in social change, creating a defamiliarization around of how we perceive products aimed for women.

Poster &#38;amp; packageI made three posters and package for our product, “Sex Bomb.” They correspond to three products of sex bomb and three-stage of female sexuality: The Sexual Activist, The Blushing Virgin, and The Chasity Vow. The reason why I choose pink is that there are strong gender stereotypes in today's society. People think that blue is used to describe boys and pink for girls. You still encounter dazzling pink, blue cracks in almost every child's store. I put fruit in the poster because the media now often use these juicy fruits to make an indecent suggestion, only because the shape of these fruits is similar to female genitalia. This is ridiculous, but people ignore these issues, and our idea is to add this sexism and ridicule to our design to remind people to think about it further.

	Reflection&#38;nbsp;As a male designer, I‘m grateful to be in touch with areas which I didn‘t know much about before.&#38;nbsp; In this society, The invisibility of female sexuality has created an attitude where it is more acceptable to see men receive sexual gratification than women, leading to a power imbalance where women’s right to bodily pleasure is non-existent. For example, while male oral sex in movies is treated as simply a fact, depictions of female oral sex is more likely to be seen as obscene and shocking. WE HAVE TO CHANGE IT !Also, if I have more time to improve our design, I hope we would use some media(video) to show what it actual does to someone taking this bath, like a before and after usage the sexbomb to show a stronger reappearance of the scene and promote people to think about behind the product.

	Final Solution


We created KindBox, a meal program that offers students Kind Cafe&#38;nbsp;food and drinks at discounted prices in order to incentivize them to take part in zero-waste practices. This solution allows users to save time, eat healthy and make a difference to the environment. Meals are ordered online and prepared for in-store pick-up at the cafe.

KindBox has two parts; a mobile app which allows students to view Kind Cafe's menu and order ahead, and the lunch box, which is the physical element that helps them actively practice zero-waste.
Part I: Fianl KindBox App

	Feedback from Samantha Emerman (Owner of Kind Cafe)


“We are considering to work with online delivery apps, such as DoorDash or Uber Eats. The concern is there is no sustainable way for take-out orders. Now KindBox is just a brilliant way to solve this problem.”

	Reflection&#38;nbsp;
Although this collaboration took place in a design course, it was my first time working with a real client. I learned how to observe the different mindsets of our client and their customers. If I can redesign this design solution, or if I have more time, I’d like to improve the kind box app that we made, For example, users can learn knowledge about zero waste from the app, just like what kind cafe does in the store, that's what the owner of kind cafe looking forward to, create a sustainable, zero-waste community in Vancouver and to pass on their ideas to more people.

UX/UI DesigngoCamp
	

	Course: IAT334 - Interaction Design Methods


Role: User-Research, UX/UI Design, Graphic Design, Prototyping, 
 Video editing


Tool: Illustrator + Photoshop + Premier + After Effect + ProtoPie +Sketch


Duration: 2 mouths


In a senior user interface design course, we were tasked to conduct research for a selected design domain to understand users’ needs and goals for potential application opportunities. Seeing that Canada is home to some truly stunning scenery, more people are gaining interest in camping within the past decade. However, there are currently no application that can provide detailed information about camping all in one app., campers are usually required to open up several tabs and apps to look for the information they need. We saw an opportunity to create an application that serves as an all-inclusive platform for both beginners and experienced campers.


&#60;img width="100" height="121" width_o="100" height_o="121" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ad95de32d0a56bf06393b74c50006273ea917d4e74541f83355f300d96e1888/butterfly.png" data-mid="122352307" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/100/i/3ad95de32d0a56bf06393b74c50006273ea917d4e74541f83355f300d96e1888/butterfly.png" /&#62;


Frustrations


Some of the biggest concern for campers are preparation before camping, and running into technical problem during camping such as “how to set up tents properly”, “what to do when I encounter a bear” and such. Although there are many existing applications for camping, most of these focus on certain campgrounds in one region. Campers are left to find solutions on several browsers and apps when they encounter issues in their camping trips. (see below for users' comments on existing applications)


	&#60;img width="11520" height="6480" width_o="11520" height_o="6480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/934cf26303a622d1f78d3c0593d247da1030c16085b234b55afa432a8b3dab51/334_goCamp_Page_3.jpg" data-mid="122353101" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/934cf26303a622d1f78d3c0593d247da1030c16085b234b55afa432a8b3dab51/334_goCamp_Page_3.jpg" /&#62;

“Naturally, I do not enjoy some camping

apps since I can't filter out campgrounds

who cannot accommodate

my requirements.”

	
Research


We began researching for insight on this issue by researching the challenges these existing applications pose. We then took these insights and created our own application interface that could better guide campers on their trips.

Insight: Information does not have a clear hierarchy? 
With the current travel applications designed camping, we noticed they lack hierarchy in information, and the applications do not interact with users enough to keep them motivated and continue using the app. While most campers camp in groups, most of the application consists of banal and tedious interface that does not allow collaboration on apps for trip planning. Plus, a lot of apps are not accessible while the internet is poor.


Proposal


Camping has been growing in popularity, however none of the current applications provide trip planning and skill learning all in one application, hence we came up with the idea where users can search up campsites and learn about camping at the same time.In addition, according to (Gursoy, Chen &#38;amp; Y.Lu, 2012), only 2% of the population in the United States camp alone, for that reason, users could use our application to create and customize checklists and share information among contacts who are also taking part in the camping trip rather than relying on endless struggle of group texts.With goCamp, both beginners and experienced campers can learn about all the information they need to prepare for their trips. Campers can also view the saved articles offline and use the AR camera to detect plants in the wild. The articles provided by our app will assist in addressing the frequently asked issues and information.


Our GoalWe have concluded the following common goals you want to achieve through our app:
All-inclusive information for users to learn about camping is just one-click awayExplore different campsites with activities and facilitates filterShareable camping checklist and articles with friends

	Reflection&#38;nbsp;

Planning a camping trip should be a fun, exciting experience that flows smoothly into the camping journey itself. The proposal of goCamp aims to offer that with a friction-free user flow. I was satisfied as to how far we went with our project. As the was one of the first user experience courses I have taken, it was an intense experience to be thrown in the deep end of integrating design thinking with real business problems that were also drawn from my own experiences. This project also made me realize the importance of communicating an idea and executing it at a high level.However, in hindsight, one part I would have wanted to improve is to consider the overall mobile experience. For example, the body text on the content pages (Places and Camping 101) is too small and may not be legible on mobiles. I learned that it is important to create a mobile-friendly application that allows the user to accomplish their goals efficiently.

	Our Creation
Our assignment for this 4th-year course was to create a Virtual Reality Game that encouraged users to physically move and use upper body motions they otherwise wouldn't use. So for this, my team and I began brainstorming fun worlds that we would love to inhabit ourselves and settled on a magical castle with a mysterious vibe to compel players to explore their environment. We understood that many players would happily do physical gestures they otherwise wouldn’t do if they were having fun and were immersed inside another world. While designing the levels, I met up frequently with our 3D modeller and sound designers to establish the feeling we wish to give players as they move through levels with visual and auditory cues.

	Game Concept

Our finalized concept was to place players in an enchanted castle where they will be able to explore their environment, learn magical spells and solve puzzles to escape from the castle. Spells are learned by having players trace large shapes in front of them with their wands, once complete they will have learned a new spell and have the ability to execute it. Since we only had a few months of part-time work to complete the game we chose the two most fun abilities to implement; fireball and levitation. Essentially players could shoot balls of fire at objects breaking them / lighting up their environment and can shoot a levitation beam out from their wand to grasp and move large objects around.

	Player Abilites / Tracing


The tracing system was a large part of our game. It's the primary way that players would be using upper body motions, so it had to be done well. Building up from the prototypes I had made, I didn't feel the need to change much of the mechanics as a lot of players felt they understood what to do instinctively during our playtesting sessions. The changes made were to polish up the effect more for the few playtesters that didn't understand what to do. I added a glowing material to the tracing orb as well as particle effects to draw their attention, thickened the connecting line between the wand and orb to give it a more elastic feeling, and the final touch was to include controller vibration as the tracing sequence began so players had haptic feedback that something was happening.

	Playtesting


We ran several playtesting sessions in which I walked players through the concept of our game and monitored them as they played to ensure everything was running smoothly, making sure all major bugs were taken care of asap and watching/taking notes of how players behaved in certain situations to varify our design choices and level layout.

	Final Game and Showcase!
Our original plan to have an alchemy section where players can mix potions for power-ups and stats boosts Haiding several wands in each level for the player to collect was ultimately shelved in the end due to the time constraints we had.

	About the Company


Nouvel Opéra Fribourg is a Swiss-based performing arts center that produces classical and contemporary musical theater and opera. By using offbeat practices and light-hearted humour, their live productions soften the divide between Western art forms of baroque lyricism and oral traditions.

	Opportunity


We created a future-state journey map to show an ideal scenario for a new attendee. This is for someone who has recently developed an interest in local performing arts and is seeking to experience diverse forms of live and intimate performances.


We decided to intervene at the Enter stage for our microsite as we saw an opportunity to align what could be considered our persona's biggest goal of going online and learning more about the shows and events that are offered, while providing more value for Nouvel Opera Fribourg as a young performing arts center.

	Art Direction


As a prominent contributor of New Wave design, Dan Friedman challenges conventional modern Swiss design by pushing the boundaries between legibility and readability. He later pioneered radical modernism to embrace elements of expressionism that reject the constraints of corporate designs. 

From our research, these were the qualities we decided to follow through with:
1. Disrupting monotonous readability
2. Rhythm informing grid


3. Cohabiting 2D and 3D forms

	Process 1:Lateral Explorations


The first line of investigation synthesizes the qualities of disrupting monotonous readability, layering shapes and colours alongside principles of texture and framing.


This direction was created for motivating viewers to perform a holistic exploration of the design space and in achieving a dynamic visual scene. The traditions of type are challenged when it's used in atypical ways that hinder legibility but promote the more creative endeavors of readability. As well, the intermixing of shapes and colours with textures can provide interestingly abstract frames for literal objects and 


images.


	&#60;img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/49e15c37203265ad44a873f0c55e433500130ff7963dafb50cce1cd789f0f155/Frame-61.jpg" data-mid="115967558" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/49e15c37203265ad44a873f0c55e433500130ff7963dafb50cce1cd789f0f155/Frame-61.jpg" /&#62;
	

Our second line of investigation couples rhythm informing grid and layering of shapes and colours.


Our intent for the piece was to utilize unconventional spatial elements in driving a dynamic composition. Shapes and texts are then incorporated to establish progressive or repetitious rhythms in reimagining the grid structure.


	&#60;img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/02f636798cbcac0348873a4c4b4ece2dc85a472ad8597e896f27b8d6b8c0c85d/Frame-62.jpg" data-mid="115968008" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/02f636798cbcac0348873a4c4b4ece2dc85a472ad8597e896f27b8d6b8c0c85d/Frame-62.jpg" /&#62;
	

In the last line of investigation, we cohabiting 2d and 3d forms, layering shapes and colors, also incorporating different textures to our graphic assets.


we start to collect pictorial and abstract forms, which bring in a sense of depth, authenticity, and playfulness to a visual narrative using physical collaging.


	&#60;img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d8f0465caf1549772f00cb47d93bdd74194e0bf18f7159082406de0de61dcfde/Frame-63.jpg" data-mid="115969803" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d8f0465caf1549772f00cb47d93bdd74194e0bf18f7159082406de0de61dcfde/Frame-63.jpg" /&#62;
	

	Process 2:Lateral Explorations within 

disrupting monotonous readability, layering shapes and colours alongside principles of texture and framing.


Upon all the explorations, we settled down with one line of investigation featuring the quality of disrupting monotonous readability along with principles of layering shapes and colours, incorporating textures, and framing text and images. 


Aiming to focus on challenging the notion of functional readability, we utilized unconventional typographic practices to stretch the limits of monotonous and passive reading, while integrating overlapping layers and textures to provide dynamism through depth.
	

	&#60;img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/12b5e332fc6080da81b3843fbe376e9fa28d43b2b9767079ae2757b3a5779c43/Loi-intent.jpg" data-mid="115968393" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/12b5e332fc6080da81b3843fbe376e9fa28d43b2b9767079ae2757b3a5779c43/Loi-intent.jpg" /&#62;
	

As we moved forward in our progress, we decided to further expand Friedman's quality of challenging passive reading into three specific techniques as it would provide the team with a more pointed lens for exploration and execution.


IRREGULAR SPACING AND CONTRASTING STYLES :The first of these being irregular spacing and contrasting styles to break conventional and "corporate-like" practices in favour of viewer interest and excitement.


OBSTRUCTING FLOW :The second focused on obstructing text with organic and irregular polygons to disrupt a linear and normalized reading flow while demanding active participation in decoding information.


INTERWEAVING TYPE AND IMAGE : And the third blurs the boundaries of imagery and text, unifying the two different mediums into one, creating a compelling tension that draws in viewers.

	Final Direction


Although we explored many ways of extending the concept of interweaving text and image to our microsite, its specificity constrained the team a bit too much and we ended designing in a loop with no real progress. Being stuck in this rut led us to revisit our previous explorations that had more potential moving forward.

So, our revised direction is an exploration of Friedman's irregular spacing and contrasting styles in addition to framing, and layering shapes, colors, and textures.

Moodboard


Some design attributes that were considered in the making of this exploration: dense texture to obscure literal imagery, warping images to express emotion, combining layers and spacing to stimulate active reading, and softening rigid forms with organic lines.


	&#60;img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d018744ebdbc4a0dfbe992527fd70e4db64ac5a34ba3c5ea0beb0fb1746288f/MB.jpg" data-mid="115970116" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d018744ebdbc4a0dfbe992527fd70e4db64ac5a34ba3c5ea0beb0fb1746288f/MB.jpg" /&#62;
	
	
We paired Futura (foo-tura) and Ogg for their contrasting characteristics. Futura is used to highlight its elongated ascenders and provide optimal legibility for smaller-sized content, while the classy calligraphic traits of Ogg resonate with the free-forming elements and add personality.


	&#60;img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/453699312689cd8f2e6005e2a89542aef0730a2bba81609961a43c2e958ddfbe/Font.jpg" data-mid="115970360" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/453699312689cd8f2e6005e2a89542aef0730a2bba81609961a43c2e958ddfbe/Font.jpg" /&#62;
	

Consisting of a dominant achromatic visual presence, the red is used as an accent to balance flatness and provide a striking contrast to bring vibrancy and energy.


	&#60;img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66c94113d3efe5b17cb427fd8fd3681e254c523a710f9d8b6e5b131d05d39383/color.jpg" data-mid="115970438" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66c94113d3efe5b17cb427fd8fd3681e254c523a710f9d8b6e5b131d05d39383/color.jpg" /&#62;
	

	Interaction

In our interaction exploration, we had revisited our qualities and principles and examined how we could transfer them into expressive and logical experiences on our microsite. We were fascinated by how spatial intervals can be used to play with ambiguity while creating denial and reward. 

And also, how multi-dimensional layering can stimulate engagement and surface a multitude of content through depth. 


And how texture and motion can cohabit to create a dynamic and energizing experience.

For our microsite, we decided to switch our header and body font, opting for Ogg for headers and Futura for body copy. We did so since, during exploration with the site, we found that using Ogg for small body copy was difficult to read, and we thought that showcasing Ogg in larger text, like with our landing page and show titles, presented the text in a visually compelling way.

	Reflection&#38;nbsp;
Over the course of the past few weeks, we really learned a lot about the design process. Making sure that we're not trapped into thinking too linearly, not getting overly attached to an idea, and being able to pivot away if the idea isn't able to progress forward.
