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.
About JiaYi Cai
JiaYi Cai is a master of Interior design at Macau University of Science and Technology.The original purpose of industrial design is to improve life and redesign some pain points in daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to talk about creativity on a practical basis. Any design that deviates from the practical principle will lead to metaphysical. But at the same time, "design is to reject mediocrity, otherwise it is reasonable for customers to find the structure directly." I hope to build a team of young designers with a flat management, a group of design mad. While striving to design beliefs, we must first be based on people. Choosing people is the first step.
