Introduction1.1 Personal BackgroundAs a junior in the Department of Industrial Design of Shandong Institute of Arts and Crafts, my love for design began when I was a child, disassembling and reassembling toys. As I grew older, this passion gradually translated into a dedication and pursuit of industrial design. In the study of the college, I not only mastered the basic skills of design, but also deeply realized that design is not only a combination of form and function, but also a reflection of culture and the times. My design practice is deeply influenced by contemporary culture, which prompts me to constantly explore and reflect on how to integrate cultural elements into my design to create works that are more relevant to the times. 1.2 The Purpose and Significance of ReflectionIn the context of globalization, the cultural intermingling of the design field is becoming more and more frequent. As designers, we not only have to face the inheritance and innovation of local culture, but also deal with the influence and integration of foreign culture. This report aims to reflect on and summarize the strategies I have adopted in my practice as a designer and how these have helped me deal with the influence of contemporary culture. In particular, I will share my experience of working with the Spanish workshop, including the challenges and difficulties in the process of working together, and how I overcame them through design strategies. This research is of great significance for understanding cultural adaptation in design practice, and also provides valuable experience for international design collaboration. Strategies for cultural integration in design practice2.1 Excavation and innovation of local cultureIn my design practice, I pay special attention to the excavation and innovation of local culture. As the hometown of Confucius, Shandong has a profound cultural heritage. I try to integrate elements of Confucian culture, such as harmony and benevolence, into the design, so that it not only has a practical function, but also conveys a deep cultural connotation. For example, in a project with a workshop in Spain, I proposed a design that combines traditional Chinese painting and color palette with the prevention of Alzheimer's disease among the elderly in Spain, which was not only recognized by my Spanish peers, but also provided me with a new perspective on cross-cultural design. 2.2 Borrowing and absorbing foreign culturesI deeply understand the importance of borrowing and absorbing foreign cultures for design innovation. Spanish design is known for its exuberant and vibrant colors, and these characteristics are reflected in their designs. I learned how to combine the Spanish design language with the local culture to create designs that are both international and local. 2.3 Cross-cultural communication and collaborationIn the process of working with the Spanish workshop, language and cultural differences became the biggest challenge we faced. To overcome this obstacle, I employ a variety of strategies. First of all, I improved the efficiency of communication with Spanish designers by using local social media software. Second, I use visual aids, such as…

In the past two days, we managed to 3d print the final design given to us by the Spanish team, and made some improvements according to the actual use scene. I finished the editing of the shooting and the final video presentation in one day today, and the effect is very successful. Thanks to the work of the Spanish team in these two months, this gift can be realized! The 2024 Global Studio/Team 03_哔哩哔哩_bilibili The final two panels still need some time, and we plan to finish them in the next two days so that we can meet the presentation on November 27th. Looking forward to hearing from you!

We have been in continuous communication with the Spanish team for the past two days. We as Designers are building the 3D model so that our Clients can understand its components and how we envisage it to be used. Thank you, everybody!

We have contacted the Spanish team! In these two days, we have modeled two schemes. We were scheduled to hold a video conference with the Spanish team at 5:30 am Beijing time on Thursday, but due to communication reasons, they thought it was 5:30 PM Beijing time on Friday, so we will get up early tomorrow to finish the video conference and finalize the final plan.

Exercise the color cognition of the elderly.One of the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease is color cognitive impairment. For example, you ask him for a ripe tomato, but he brings you a cyan one. We can print a color card with the same color but the color difference and give it to them to identify. This helps exercise their color sensitivity, thereby preventing and detecting Alzheimer's disease at an early stage. Photo by Qihao.

Prevention in the form of learning a foreign language.older people are not required to learn a foreign language to the point where they can carry on everyday conversations. All languages are difficult to learn, which will reduce the enthusiasm of older people for learning. It can take a single word, such as computer, and translate it into several languages, such as Italian, French, German, etc. and ask the elderly to classify the same word but different languages.It's like a link.The benefit of this is that we strengthen their cognitive abilities.

Hello!Guys！We're here to discuss a solution to your quest to prevent Alzheimer's disease, but it's not a product, it's a game. Alzheimer's disease is mainly manifested in memory loss, so in order to prevent this from happening, we think that letting the elderly tell stories is a good solution. In Chinese composition, there are five elements: people, things, time, place and things. These five elements form the framework of the story. We're going to play in a way where the family tells the story and they retell it two days later. These stories can be real things that happened to them or they can be made up, like fables. Then we will prepare five cards of different shapes and colors, no more than three of each, which can be reused. The family members will write the five elements of the story on them, and the old man will tell a complete story according to the tips on the cards. Judge the memory of the elderly by the completeness and details of the stories in their mouths. This method not only exercises the memory of the elderly, but also can determine the extent of their Alzheimer's disease in the first place, and lead to more scientific treatment.

[1]We designed a board game similar to billiards, the shape of the board is a rectangle, the square has a hole in each corner, and there is a diamond in the center of the board, which is used to place the pieces. There are 10 pieces in total, 4 white, 4 black, 1 red, and 1 green. Black and white are printed with numbers 1-4, and the chess pieces are placed on the board at the beginning, as shown in the figure. The player then chooses black or white by flipping a coin or other means. First hit your black or white chess in the order of chess numbers 1 to 4, and after all four pieces are hit in the hole,Hit the red again. The green is the mother and the other pieces are the sons. If player 1 chooses white, he gains the right to hit green with his middle finger, so that the green chess hits the pieces in the diamond area, and the pieces in the diamond area are scattered. If White 1 falls into the hole, player 1 continues to gain the move and continues to flick Green with his index finger, causing Green to continue to crash into White 2 and White 2 to fall into the hole. If White 1 does not fall into the hole, then the game goes to player 2, who begins to hit Green with a flick, causing Green to crash into Black 1, causing Black 1 to fall into the hole. The operation continues until both sides have not fully sunk their numbers 1 to 4. In the end, one of the two sides plays their side's number 1 to 4 first, then plays the last red, which side hits the red into the hole, which side wins. [2]It is a very difficult thing to learn computer programming, which requires very strong logic ability. We imagine a building block with computer language identification and a small light inside the building block to program by building the building block. If the small light inside the building block is on, it indicates that the program is correct and can run normally. The building blocks need to be retuned to make the program correct.

【1】A new type of card game designed based on traditional card games, it has a low learning cost, is easy to pick up, and has good entertainment value. At the same time, this card game has a fast pace, which can prevent gambling behavior. It is not limited to the number of people and can also promote communication and familiarity among the elderly. Here's how it works: Taking a deck of poker cards as an example, players first draw two cards, add the numbers, if the sum is greater than 21, it is judged as a loss and wait for the next round. If it is exactly 21, it wins directly and everyone enters the next round. If it is less than 21, the following options can be made: 1. Feeling the number is too small, continue to draw cards, 2. Feeling the number is too large but not 21, stop drawing cards, and place the cards face down on the table, waiting for others to also place their cards face down on the table. 3. After drawing cards, the sum reaches 21, show directly and win this round, and the game enters the next round. 4. Wait until everyone feels the number is appropriate and no one draws exactly 21, show the cards on the table to other players and announce the number. 5. Compare the size, the person with the largest number wins this round. If two people have the same largest number, compare the smallest or largest number in the hand cards to see who is larger, and the one with the largest number wins. Please note, to prevent problems such as cheating during the game for the elderly, caregivers or products can distribute the cards to each player, playing the role of the "dealer" in traditional card games. 【2】A small product similar in size to mahjong, with a tiny screen on top to display image information. Unlike mahjong, it has magnetic sides and metal contacts, which means that the product in the user's hand can exchange information by joining together. Users can join their product with the same product of others to get a preliminary understanding of the other person's basic information and precautions. Considering that the elderly may have a lower acceptance of new things and may not use electronic products much, we propose this simple and efficient form of information exchange. [3]For the old people who like to talk about history, we can give them a game like "war chess", for example, for the history they are familiar with, there will be different dynasties and different emperors, we can make the role of these emperors through the processing, for example, what the German Emperor would do in the Ottoman Empire era, In this way, they can deduce the trend through their understanding of historical figures, and promote the communication between the elderly and their thinking about history.
