Week 01

We have contacted the Team 09 via email C21411206@mytudublin.ie
We introduced our team through email and had friendly exchanges. We look forward to the cooperation between both sides.
We have asked if they use WeChat,and sent them the WhatsApp accounts of their team members.They replied to create a wechat account.
Week 05

In the sixth week, we exchanged questions related to the design scheme through email, such as information about website uploads, specific product issues.
Week 06

On November 16, they sent the design proposal to us via email, and we replied to their design.
First of all, thank you very much for designing such a dazzling work for us. The album you designed takes into account the materials for making the album and the layout of the photos. According to the course requirements, our feedback on your design works is as follows.
- The main content of the design desire is to conceptually design a product with emotional care with the theme of “shared memory”. It would be better if it were not limited to a paper album.
- Can you integrate more Chinese culture, customs and habits into the products? We hope they are more suitable for the elderly in China.
- We prefer a physical product similar to an electronic photo frame. You can design relevant UI, which is an interactive product or app.
I look forward to your reply. Look forward to our mutual exchanges and progress.
They asked questions about our design aspirations
For the Chinese culture are you looking for a specific region? Or would you prefer something like Chinese culture as whole?

The second email this week added to our design aspirations, making it more clear what we were looking for.
Let’s add: the focus of our design desire is not simply a paper album, but an intelligent album, an interactive product. Chinese auspicious culture is second.
thank you Aravind for listing your team’s past attempts to communicate with your paired collaborators the Team 17.
I assumed that you have not contacted the Team 17 after you have replied to their initial email from 18 October.
What are your Team’s plans for the next 5 days as Designers?
I am looking forward to your reply, Erik
