7.2 Bathroom research


A separate bathroom




This is an ordinary bathroom


The bathroom has a bathtub, but I do not like the structure of the room.


This is a relatively luxurious bathroom, its design is very clean and bright, very stylish and modern.



The bathroom is close to the rest area.


The bathroom is next to the bedroom.

In general, I would like to design a luxurious bathroom with a window and a bathtub. Of course, the toilet and toilet is necessary, and I will also design a beautiful shelves. I designed this bathroom is simple and neat, will use advanced tiles and marble. The style of the whole bathroom is modern and beautiful and practical.

7.1 Student accommodation design

No.1 Research
 First, I would like to design a student accommodation, because  that every student leaves home to go to college and they all need a comfortable living environment like a comfortable student apartment. So I prepare to design a warm and comfortable studio for all students.

Since student accommodation are small, so streamlined furniture seems to be the logical choice for consumers and designers making an efficient use of the available space.


Additional, the space on wall also must reasonable use, the article such as suspensibility towel, scarf, or be a few store ark nails content to go up at the wall, in order to add a space.



In this picture, we can see the comfortable rooms, there are complete study facilities and broad office site.


These room have a floor window, it let natural light deep into the rooms.Though not large, the room was light and airy.


These is a modern worth open type kitchen that is a clever use of the room space.


This is the study area, including a bookcase, a desk, a chair and a wall. In here student can sit and read or draw. Maybe the desk by the window is nicer.

In brief, I researched these student apartments,Each of these designs is worthy of my study, such as the design of their adequate storage space, comfortable rest area and quiet study area. There is also worthy of my attention is a room of lighting and ventilation is very important. The kitchen, then, to the students with a small table will be better.

1.2 Group work- packaging design



Week 2

       Group member: Flora, Gina and Asma.

Initial Idea&Development&Process
          Our initial plan was to design a headset package, and we wanted to give it a sense of young and fashion. But considering that the audience was too narrow, we changed the idea in the end.



We want to design about some investigation for the public.After some investigations, we've found that, although the packaging of the fast moving consuming goods is simple and easy to use, the homogenization is really serious and hard to be impressive. So we want to ensure the usability of the product, and on the other hand, we also want to do some innovation on the packaging.

 Anyway, we'd like to work out a lovely and amazing packaging design.Fast moving consuming goods are very popular and can be found everywhere. They must be easy to use, and that's why they are hard to be chosen as presents.

 We wish they could be cute enough so as to be sent to our friends as a gift.We choose instant coffee one of the most challenging projects in the fast moving consuming goods to do the packaging design. 

We wish the instant coffee can not only bring us with happiness and vigor, but also have some kinds of lovely nature, can bring us to the warm and sweet feelings. We hope it could be chosen as a gift for friends and still keep the wide range of audiences.



  •  In the preparation of product packaging design process, our team began to want to do headset packaging design, but we are the first to do packaging design, so I chose a relatively easy instant coffee packaging design.

    • First of all, I think of this design, because in the fast-paced modern life, most people can not do without coffee. Whether it is office workers or student groups, they live in a large workload of high pressure environment, coffee is one of the best refreshing products.
    • So I thought to do instant coffee product design. My product first has a huge demand crowd, and I also hope to give customers a convenient, beautiful and environmentally friendly packaging design.
    • And my instant coffee packaging, I hope to use sustainable materials, and then design simple and beautiful, and easy to carry, can give customers a better use of feelings.




    Step.1 Idea and research.
    • The above is my research about instant coffee packing.
    • Then I designed some of my favorite packaging on paper and choose  most beautiful one.
    • Wen can be seen shape of the design in the figure. It is a simple diamond. First of all it is a sense of design than the square, while not too complicated to lose practical value.




    Step.2 Logo design






  • For the coffee package on the Logo, I must seriously design. Because, I want to use minimalist style, can not be printed on the coffee packaging many complex patterns. So, my logo on behalf of my entire concept and brand symbol, and I think our packaging design can be more young women's favorite.
  • So I painted a lot of lovely coffee patterns, and asked to choose a final version. A rabbit Logo.




  • Step. 3 Inspiration picture & How to use it.

    • Above are some Latte Art.
    • My Logo inspired by this picture.
    • The figure also shows how to opening my  packaging of the corner. It is  very convenient to use that just tear from the packaging corner.


    Step. 4 Plane display 
    • The above is our graphic display. Tt is material is paper and it is a sustainable recyclable material.
    • The second advantage is that the production is simple and can save the company cost.




    Step.5 real work 
    Then Gina created the 3D images to show how it looks like in the normal world.





    The above is my manual display.


     Step.6 Software Work

    • The above is our team members Gina use AI, Photoshop and other software produced 3D display.
    • Its overall effect is very small and convenient, saving space. Customers can carry with you at any time. And our packaging is very beautiful, customers can also use it as a gift or souvenirs to send friends and family.



    7.Reflection on my work
    For this time the group design, I personally feel very interesting, our members are very happy to cooperate in the course of the discussion did not appear differences. Then the coffee product packaging design is our first operation, this design also has many deficiencies, but we all like this idea. I hope that our team members will continue to work hard to make better works.

    Reflection on my work

    This product advertising design, I was very hard to do every step. First, LOGO design, I designed is the effect I want, and then I must also be the fastest speed to do the knitting bag model, although not so perfect, through the repair map or can show the characteristics of the entire package. Finally, I think I designed the advertising slogan is still lacking, I hope next time I can do better.
