Responsive: Design Process 2 - Nightlight

After turn off, designed by Chao Shao-Lun, Tsui En-Chuan and Lin Hung-Jung

It is a nightlight that uses projected light to create a fantasy world of animal friends.

As children, we marvel at rainbows and delight at the chance to interact with animals. As adults, the practical realities of life take over and the delightful moments tend to gradually vanish. After Turn Off aims to bring some delight back to daily life.

After Turn Off functions like a nightlight. Rather than illuminating a light fixture, however, it casts light onto the wall. After Turn Off incorporates a specially designed light switch casing, which conceals a small light source. On the top panel of the casing is a small cut-out shape through which light passes. When it hits the wall above the light switch, the light reveals a deer, bird, dog, bear, or some other creature.

I looked at products to extend my book cover designs to focusing on the childhood experience of bedtime story time. I found these night lights which I thought were different and cleverly designed which focus on the fantasy world and characters like animals which could be easily applied to characters of the stories.
