Idea 01: Calories Intake Calculator

Idea 01: Calories Intake Calculator

Inspired by my friend who always brings her weight to calculate food calories, I would like to create an automatic calories intake calculator. I have 3 different kinds in mind:

A. Camera + Food Cover Lid + Weight + Ai -> not portable, but multifunctional, and maybe the most accurate? B. Camera + Food Cover Lid + Ai -> less portable and multifunctional C. Camera only (steam bun shaped) + Ai -> portable

Idea 02: Game Console for Communal Play (Quiz Style)

Idea 02: Game Console for Communal Play (Quiz Style)

I’ve always loved creating or hosting games for my friends. Last time, I hosted a game underground, but there was no internet access, so we couldn’t play games like Kahoot. Moreover, I always had a hard time to figure out who’s the first to raise their hands or the quickest one to answer. Because of that, I came up with the idea of creating a quiz-style game using a game console connected via Bluetooth. Each group would have its own console connected to a big screen. The big screen would display the questions. If a group wants to answer a question, they can press a “raise hand” button. For multiple-choice questions, they can select the A, B, C, or D button. There is also a small screen on the console to show if their answer is correct or wrong.

After talking with my instructor, we decided to go with the second idea: a game console for communal play (quiz style). We felt this option would allow me to explore more and be more creative, as it involves more components.

In week 2, I created the 2D design for three different game consoles and the logo using Adobe Illustrator and the 3D design in Blender.

I incorporated vibrant colors (red-orange #fe564b, yellow #fdd400, blue #1a5edb) and many rounded shapes to make the design look fun and friendly, including rounded corners on the body and screen, as well as cylindrical buttons.

For the product name, I wanted to include the word “all” - since the goal is for everyone (all) to play and have fun together. I researched several name ideas, and I found that on Thesaurus.com, the word “all” is pronounced as “awl”. I loved the name so much, I went ahead and made the simple logo “awl.” and the tagline “play with you awl.”
