We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Qiushuo Li about their original and creative Battery packaging design work. Qiushuo Li is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original battery packaging works.
Qiushuo Li ("QL") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Better-Ray Battery packaging. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
QL : A package that can be easily used by children, elders, or blinds people. The users can get what they want without thinking.
QL : The structure is the key to achieve the function, that make sure users only get new batteries out.
QL : I would like to applying for a patten and drive the awareness of the sustainable design.
QL : It takes me about two weeks.
QL : The trigger is my bad experience with the battery packaging in the market. The dull design and poor function drove me to redesign it.
QL : It is not being produced or used by any companies, but I would like to sell the patent.
QL : I always challenge myself in different categories of design. However, I believe even if the form varied, the soul of design doesn't change, which is how we love and care about the world. The metrology of solving problems can be applied to any platform, too. The style and form of this case is basing on the innovation of better user experience.
QL : I figured out the design all by myself. However, technically speaking, there's hardly any designer in the world that can create great design without seeing any visual productions. I view some certain website everyday and collect the great one for inspiring. I am influenced by other designs of course, but in this case, not a particular one.
QL : The battery users.
QL : As I believe, the structure is unique because it rules the moving direction of the batteries inside. And there is only one way to get the batteries in and out. I haven's seen any design with the same function.
QL : Better-ray sounds like battery, which means the product can provide a better service.
QL : I used Adobe softwares to design; hard boards to build the prototype; Nikon camera to shoot the video.
QL : As I see it, the structure of the box is innovative. It can contain both new and used batteries and can remind the user when all the new batteries are taken away. The piece of hard board inside prevent any used batteries coming out, ensures no single used batteries come to polluting the earth.
QL : I did everything all by myself, and got some advices from two instructors, who are Wen Che and Kevin Brainard.
QL : It makes the structure working.
QL : No, it was driven from personal experience.
QL : Finding a appropriate design style for the graphic on the package.
QL : To get exposure.
QL : I learned that there is a reason behind every factor in design.
QL : No, thank you.
