How does a product engage the people? And this is how my design ap-proaches the people where it is user-oriented. Elaborate more on the user-oriented eg attention to details, functionality of the products. I find what is essential to the users and bring them into the focus.
My design approach is user-centred design. It is a design philosophy that optimizes the usage of the product around the users. The users can use the product according to their favour/liking, rather than forcing the users to change their behaviour to accommodate to the product.
We come across barriers and challenges everyday in design field and this has challenged me to widen my horizon and to look at the world in a wider perspective.
To be able to have the peace of mind, able to look at the whole situation calmly and learn how to make decisions off is the most important by going through all the obstacles, I am able to use innovative and creative design to solve everyday’s challenges. It’s not necessary about reaching a certain goal in life, but the valuable thing is about what we learn along the way in the journey.
DESIGN APPROACH
5
In the past 3 years, the Stabilo pen has become my inseparable friend. It is the tool for me to progress document the idea/thoughts on napkin, paper and now on WACOM tablet which is the digital method. From here, we can transform the 2D into 3D bring the thoughts alive.
Solidworks is the first 3D program that I used and also is the program that I’m comfortable with. The CAD technology has pushed the boundary of the con-ventional model making techniques. Through this various CAD technology, it enables us to produce prototype rapidly such as CNC, 3d printing and laser cutting.
Apart from that, I love exploring new rendering program such as Bunkspeed and Keyshot. These programs have high standard of rendering and enable me to visualize a product in a beautiful way.
I believe there is no limitation in design industry hence there is no solid ex-ample of all my design projects and skills. However, if I ever look back at my design projects one day, I would have something to share with and might even change my personality behaviors in viewing everyday life.
DESIGN SKILLS
6
In second studio with Michelle, was the first product design studio and it was very challenging. However I do enjoy sketching and using Solidworks.
My very first handcraft project was making a kid’s chair. It was made out of plywood with limited material. It was back in first year.
This was the most memorable studio for me because since then I’m in love with motor-cycle!
In this studio, I get to understand the process from 2D sketch to 3D modelling and from then we produce the 3D printing which is something physical.

My project was to design an amphibious vehicle. I get the chance to push my sketching and 3D CAD skill to the next level. This is also the first time I use the Keyshot for rendering.
This is the elective class, Chrome which is to learn how to visualize a product from the aspect of lightning, environment, and mate-rial.

The objective that I set In this year was to develop all the skills that I could learn from this studio, particularly the CAD modelling skills. I am comfortable using the CAD and I would like to use this opportunity to focus on other phases.
Time management is another important skill that I will further develop, especially for my final physical model. Throughout all these processes, It helps me In developing a deeper sense of how I should be better/well prepared when it comes to working in the real world.

MISSION STATEMENT
10
The amphibious Salamander project delves into the potential of amphibi-ous cars in the near future. The Salamander will be an evolution in im-mersive experiential eco-tourism The recreational amphibious vehicle is a functional 4x4 on land as well as on the water for easy mobility between the two.
This is a 4-seater electric vehicle which is suited for off-road environment and is capable to be recharged at distributed wind and solar powered re-charging stations. The concept is to benefit the eco-tourism group and the users by providing a new getaway experience.
The form language of the Salamander is a hybrid of the boat and the car. The flat styled hull delivers the stability control for cruising on the river. Additionally, with the boat style interior provides passengers with unique new functionality and appearance.
My vision is to make the Salamander as a driver for the eco-tourism industry whilst providing light footprint for National Parks and to attract People to appreciate and value the natural environment.

Amphibious automobiles have been in-vented in the Second World War and the Volkswagen Schwimmwagen was the most significant, a small jeep like 4x4 vehicle de-signed by the Porsche engineer.
Volkswagen Schwimmwagen
1940
Amphibious all-terrain vehicle is a small off road and typically six wheel drive am-phibious vehicle. Most of the bodywork is constructed with hard plastic or fiberglass watertight body “tub”, this makes them lightweight and maneuverable.
Amphibious ATV
2001
The first purely recreational amphibious car was the 1960s Amphicar and it is the first successfully produced civilian amphibious car. The bodywork was made of mild steel and also it is run by two propellers under the rear bumper.

Eco-tourism means traveling in a way that conserves the environ-ment you visit and improves life for the people there. Ecotourism is an increasingly popular option for people visiting rainforests and other relatively wild areas. Like most things, ecotourism has both pluses and minuses.
ECOTOURISM
CAR FOR ECO TOURISM. WHY?
24
Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.Provide direct financial benefits for conservation.Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local people.
Principles of Ecotourism
25
IntroductionIt is one of the fastest growing sectors of tourism industry. It is the practice of low-impact, educational, ecologically and culturally sensitive travel that benefits local communities and host countries.
Current Crictism- Forcing people leaving for house in South Africa.- Big amount of money is being spent and human resources continue to be used for ecotourism despite unsuccessful outcomes- The money tourism can generate often ties parks in the relationship because eco-tourism often causes conflict and charges in land use rights.- It is intended for small groups, but it puts extra pressure on the localenvironment and necessitates the development of ad-ditional infrastructure and amenities.

Four Wheel Drive Victoria
The mission is:
- To promote and advance four wheel drive touring as a responsible recreation.
- To promote an active interest in conservation under the mantra of “Driving in a sustainable environment”
- To promote vehicle based dispersed bush camping.
- To encourage and foster the development of Four Wheel Drive Clubs.
- To co-ordinate and promote the activities of affiliated clubs, members, and associated bodies, and sporting activi-ties.
- To acquire, preserve and disseminate information relat-ing to the recreation of four wheel driving.
Problems with 4WD in the environment:
- National Park: There are many other users such as dirt bikers, bushwalkers, fishermen, hunters, canoeists, cyclists and much more. The 4WD might cause the top damage to the forest even though there is rules and regu-lation.
- Safety Issue: The same happens if an area is over-fished, over-camped, or people start to cut corners on bushwalks or any other part of the forest is threatened by incorrect use.
- 4WD tracks: The tracks have to be organized well for management vehicles, and for emergencies. This is to prevent the driver break the rules and prevent less damage to the environment.

This photomontage give a snapshot of the context for which the eco-tourism car will be designed for and user within. The project scene is framed within the rural area and where the eco-tourism will be, which is where one will come across unique ways of travel lifestyles within the eco - tourism area.
ENVIRONMENT CONTEXT

concept 1build-to-order system.
I had look into the production of the car and also the build-to-order system. The average delivery timer under ‘build-to-stock’ system, a car usually will be delivered within 40 days
including
1) order entry dealer manufacturer2) order bank3) scheduled orders4) sequenced orders held5) physical production6) loading of factory7) distribution to dealer
This has allowed me to analyze which parts can be BTS (built-to-stock) and BTO (built-to-order). There is some opportunity to reengineer manufacturing system and product architecture.
Craft production- highly skilled- the system aren’t organized- low production
Mass production- high production- less labor cost- good enough believe, never aim further
Lean production- company as community- production influence consumer demand- aggressive selling, have a long term, life long service for buyer to involve into product development process.
system
“Machine That Change The World” by James T. Womack has given me the knowledge of differences of production on craft, mass and lean. Here are the differences between three of them.

battery swappingconcept 2
Wind is the other form of solar power due to the changes of temperature and pressure. Wind power is a clean energy source that can be relied on for the long-term future. The average wind speed needs to be above 5m/s (18km per hour). Ideal locations would be in country, on farms and on the coast.
The generated electric will be flows to the electric company. They are the one who in charge storing and pass it to charge spot. The excess energy will be stored into the driver’s elective vehicle and it will flowing when the wind is not blowing.
The driver still has the chance of charging their battery rather than battery swapping. In order to help customer to adapt to the electric vehicle, having op-tions of refuel is necessary.
Battery swapping will be the al-ternative way of quick recharg-ing. Existed petrol station will be transform into the charge spot. Israel is the first country that already started, China and Denmark will join Israel on the battery swapping. The benefit of having electric car is less payment on taxes as well as the petrol prices.

CUSTOMER JOURNEY

navigation chargestation
electricvehicle
The customer will make a booking for eco-tourism tour and they can rent a travelling car if they needed. The government and local community own the cars, where the income will be given to the local community for developing this travel business.
The customer gets the opportunity to build their own vehicle before they arrived. They are enabling to make a minor modification, such as the roof, exterior colour and accessories based on their need and the weather condition. This will not only get them to involve and excited about the trip but also help them to get the reasonable price.
They will pick up the car where is nearby the destina-tion and start their journey. Within the journey, the user could use their smart devices to navigate the recharge stations, which were distributed by the government and related organization. The battery would be recharged and it shall survive for the long trip. The charged station will generate electricity through wind and solar power. The generated electricity will then flow to the charged station, which is the grid as well. The expenses will be subsidy by the government. The whole concept behind was not only beneficial to the environment but the tourist also get the chance to slowly adapt to the electrical vehicle.
During the trip, the tourist can take a photo of their trip and upload to the social network page and share with their friends. This can help to build up the eco-tourism community rapidly. In the long-term growth, the eco-tourism that integrated with the electric vehicle can be operate easily to the other places.

The flat-bottomed boat is a boat with a flat bottomed, two-chined hull, which allows it be used in shallow bodies of wa-ter, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground.This makes the boat flow more stable on water and that’s benefit to the anglers and hunters.

For styling aspects, the lower exterior body is important for the whole vehicle styling and the way it works.
The flat bottom hull gives stability and possibility to place the batteries and inboard engine.

The seat height is 400mm from the ground bottom of the car ; this is the perfect height for 4WD that based on H-point guide. Having a 400mm seat height was enough for the cargo space. The gap between the front and the back seat would be 800mm, which are the standard and enough space for foot placement.
The wheelbase is 2700mm and the longer wheelbase will be better for 4WD and also for the boat. I was looking a balance between the space for cargo and the electric components.
The boat hull would be one of the main features for this car, which can help the car to have better performance when water crossing. The inboard engine would be in-stalled at the rear and the cooling systems are fresh water cooled, while others have a raw water-cooling system where water from the lake or river is pumped by the engine to cool it.

The picture at the left show the emergency response when the car broke down in the water. The airbag technology was based on the aeroplane emergency slide. The air are pumped out from a can of mixture of CO2 and Nitrogen.
The boat hull is made out of fiberglass which is lightweight and strong. It is common when comes to building various types of boat.
67
There’s a ladder slide out from the front seat. The back user get to slide it up and use them to get to the roof and to the rear side for fishing or chilling.
68
Water crossing is part of the journey and it can be tough because most of the 4WD has the problem of leaking water into the car. My solu-tion here was having a simple boat hull able to overcome this problem but also get the chance to get to the water for recreation activity.
The flexibility of this vehicle enables the user to get from land to water with ease. The user could turn on the inboard jet engine when they needed it or else the vehicle itself able to run on water smoothly.

The challenge I had throughout this whole year was to demonstrate as much as possible the skills that I have learnt in all of my previous years. However having this studio being focus on hard skills, it was a matter of implementing my skills whenever possible. This can be found from my persona analysis and was trying to inform the visual language very well. Another goal for this year was time management.
Project management was a crucial task for myself and is always is a learning process for me. Getting the job done before due date is not only for myself but also for the other people, for instance manufacturer and staff. To be able to communicate well with the manufacturer, I have to learn to understand from their perspective to gain better result for the model making.
The prototype is the process that taken the time most and a lot effort been put in that too. Choosing the right material and compromises to complete the model making process was difficult and has to be ready for any urgent situation. With the budget limitation and strict timeline has help me to fight against the stress.
There’s one situation happened during the model making process,
my model was milled incorrectly and I have to wait for queue for the next milling. At that moment, I was frustrated and have to deal with other different workload.
This project has given me good memories and experience on how to calmly make decision off different situation. Through this year, the biggest gain was the growth of my mindset and skills. To be a better designer, I believe going though failure and challenges is the process for that. It’s not necessary about reaching a certain goal in life, but the valuable thing is about what we learn along the way in the journey.
