Independent Project
FINAL PRODUCT(S):
The last unit was an independent project where we had to make our own product. After thinking for a while and looking at some examples from the padlet the teacher shared with us on Pinterest, I came up with three ideas: stickers that can be also used as a bookmark, re-designed school ID cards, and designing Logo design.

After I chose my product to be making ID cards, these were my design briefs.

Collaboration with Keith Haring’s artwork.

Collaboration with Andy Warhol’s artwork.
FEEDBACK(S) I GOT FROM MY PARTNER:
One feedback I got from my partner was to make sure I leave space to include the student’s ID card number. After I applied that feedback, I also added more detail.

Reflection:
- How is your design successful and what needs to improve?
- I was able to apply all the conditions I wanted to in the ID card (the activities, name, year of when students are graduating, etc.). I also really liked the idea of showing how much money has left on their ID card ( => I did not instantly come up with this idea.). One thing I could improve on is to gather more ideas (from artists, Pinterest, etc.) and draw more sketches since both two designs were my first and last drawings. Although I thought of it after I finished my products, I think it would be cool if I think of other ways to put the ID cards than just a phone case.
Hi Kanglee! This is a really fun project idea that has great potential to be implemented at schools. The goal of personalization was definitely achieved – my only question would be how to ensure consistency in the communication – might it become too challenging to recognize the critical information if there was too much variation between different student IDs. But this could easily be achieved with further refinements.
Well done and thanks for all your effort in Design Studio!
