About Mood Tree Darbvirsmas Piezīmju Turētājs

Iedomājieties, ka paužat savas ikdienas noskaņas ar vienkāršu papīra lapu uz koka! Mood tree ir unikāls piezīmju turētājs ar atšķirīgu piezīmju dizainu; Katram papīram ir 2 dažādas krāsas: roze augšpusē apzīmē laimi un dzeltena apakšā — skumjas. Varat izmantot piezīmes, kad vien vēlaties, un, atbrīvojoties no tām, jūs tās uzliksit uz sejas, kas atbilst jūsu noskaņojumam tagad. Vai arī varat apgriezt vecu papīru, lai izteiktu savu pašreizējo noskaņojumu. Tas var kalpot no vienas personas līdz septiņām personām.

Design Challenge
The main challenge in this project was how to make this mood shower tool be seen as a normal and beautiful object to be placed on the desktop and also to match the Japanese culture.
Research
This project is part of a more significant project about engaging Gamification with product design to produce products that can help solve big problems like global warming, scarcity of resources, and many Social issues.
Inspiration
Displaying intense emotion is usually avoided in Japanese communication. This is especially the case in formal situations such as in the workplace or school, which may make this environment very stressful and out of balance. In Japanese traditions, the Bonsai tree symbolizesharmony, peace, order of thoughts, and balance. Mood Tree is simply an elegant way of communicating your feelings and emotions to others in order to restore this balance between your inside thoughts and outside reaction
Project Duration
The project started on July 2022 in Japan. The target of the project was to design desktop products and sets that can solve social issues and make people embrace their changes and differences. Then the project was finished as a concept ready for realization on September 2022, then it was 3D printed and tested between October and December 2022.
Operation Flow
As you can see right away it looks like a Bonsai tree, with some leaves on it, so you find yourself thinking about Japanese culture, a calm and peaceful environment. Take your memo and write down whatever you want, and then peacefully hang your memo on the face that represents your current mood. And that's it! You can now see other people who observe your current upright color changing their behavior to match your mood. It a such an easy and very efficient way to calm yourself down and also to communicate your mood without saying or making any social contact. Inside a small product on your desk.
