The application of bionic design in children's garment can not only develop children's intelligence, but also improve their aesthetic faculties. Mainly focusing on the aspects of color, shape, fabric, the bionic design of children's garments is based on the real condition of children, hoping to improve their intelligence improvement. Regarding the overview of bionic design as an entry point, this article defines the problem existing in the bionic design of children's garment at the present stage, analysis several types of bionic design and puts forward some opinions according the situation, hoping to promote the work of bionic design in children's garments.

Forty different mangrove species found their home in Sungai Merbok, Sungai Petani, Kedah, the highest among other mangrove ecosystems in Malaysia. This region is notable for its magnificent landscape and also rich environment, which the United Nations have recognised as one of the world's few significant biospheres. However, several species, particularly in Merbok, are threatened. Therefore, the objective of this project is to identify the mangrove species as the main bio-inspiration for the digital design patterns and to provide awareness of mangrove preservation and environmental sustainability. This research used an approach of pragmatic qualitative analysis to achieve the research outcomes.

This contribution reviews approaches and methods for developing product design specifications that place emphasis and priority on affective user experience. Understanding customers’ affective needs is difficult to grasp. For example, if a person wants an impression of luxuriousness, then it is necessary to investigate which product design attributes make the individual sense such an impression. To answer this question, the relationship between affective features and product design attributes should be analyzed, considering an interactive, evolving, and individual perspective. Pleasure with products, Kansei engineering, product emotion, Fuben-eki and product personalities are the approaches reviewed to illustrate the existing resources for specification of affective user experience in design. The notion of a product's ecosystem as part of the design of the user experience is related to experience prototyping. With the aim of providing guidance to designers, this contribution discusses whether the affective user experience specification methods translate directly into product design features, or if these are attained by trial and error, the latter being mostly the case, except for Fuben-eki. An expanding vision of futurism and evolution, based on projected future technological capabilities, may be associated to gradually enriching affective user experiences, increasingly demanding users and enlarging and more pervasive product ecosystems.
