About Music Pen Cap Pen Cap Design
Music Pen Cap is a set of pen caps for the watercolor pens used by children aged seven to twelve. Each cap gives a different tone, so the twelve caps together form a simple musical scale. The sounding points vary in thickness, and the surface is colored and finished with a coat of varnish. A raised tip allows the cap to be pushed on or off with the thumb. The design aims to reduce the loss of pen covers and to keep interest in painting alive. Small numbers can be printed in photosensitive resin, while larger runs can be molded in polypropylene or ABS plastic.

- In the design of the pen cap, we use a special color material with different thickness.Colour the surface of the Pen Cap and add a coat of varnish.Small quantities can be processed using 3D printing techniques using photosensitive resin materials.

- Design Challenge
- The process of turning thinking into design.
- Project Duration
- The project began in Macau in January 2019 and was completed in Macau in April 2019.
- Operation Flow
- The Music Pen Cap is arranged according to the different collocation of colors. When the pencil lightly crosses,some different tones of crisp sweet music will come out. According to the different thickness of the pronunciation point, 12 pens will have 12 different caps with different colors. The "music" pen cap can not only exercise the player's patience,stimulating their auditory development, developing their perception of music, and maintaining their interest in painting.
- Research
- I observe and think about the way people use products in their life, and try to find the behavior or emotional transition between people subconsciously. Then, I will have subliminal emotional reinforcement conducive to product experience, and bring people suitable and novel products.I believe that products designed in accordance with people's subconscious can not only meet people's use habits, but also make people feel that such novel experience can resonate.
- Inspiration
- Pen and the pen cap are always used together, "Tumbler" pen cap combines the design of scale through visual sense, tactile sensation and auditory sense to redefine a new way of communication, to let people rethink the meaning of "paint". The tip of the cap will jut out, so you can use your thumb to push it with less energy and you can also easily unload or put on it. In the design of the pen cap, we use a special color material with different thickness.
