When I was trying to find a fat scale, the result upset me.They all look the same. And not good looking.
It seems the manufactures didn't pay much attentions on it.
我尝试上网买一个体脂称的时候发现并没有什么好的选项,大部分并不美观,看起来厂商并没有在上面多花太多时间。
 
From the manufactures' perspective, for many reasons, such as the buddget, the target customers maybe not too much care how this type of product looks.Those product have no chance to be with a better design. It could never be a hero product of any company.

Those product have no chance to be with a better design and better considered.
A retangle glass board with 4 metal pads solve the problem, what more can we expect? 
What designer can do?

Maybe we can expect some more fun?

从制造商的角度看,有许多原因造成这样的结果。比如说,用户不是那么在乎这类产品长什么样,这类产品不能带来更多的利润,功能很有限,不可能成为一个公司的主打产品。

这类产品似乎不会有机会有更好的设计和工艺被用在上面,也不值得一个企业花更多的心思。
一个圆角矩形的玻璃+4个金属导电片就解决问题,还能有什么需求?设计师还能做些什么呢?

也许...可以做得再有趣点?
There are 2 kinds of board,people can't help themself to step on.
One is a  Scale, another is a Sakte board.

So I came up with an idea, maybe this 2 can be mixup.

世界上有2种板子会让人忍不住想踩上去,一个是体重秤,一个是滑板,
于是我有了个点子,把它们结合了一下。
With a gravity sensor inside, when it turn to vertical position.
It switch to clock mode.Then when you put it on the floor, it switch to a scale again.

产品内置重力感应传感器,当产品与地面垂直时,
它会切换到挂钟模式。
放在地上时会再变回体重计。
Magnet on the back.
用磁铁与在墙上的收纳挂钩连接。
For me, a scale takes too much space on the floor,
It is a good way to storage a scale when you are not using it,
much better then put it under furnitures.

我经常感觉体重计很碍事,固定在墙上也许是比放在沙发或柜子底下更好的收纳方式。

Most part of the panel is solar power panel,no need to recharge, 
Environment friendly.

体重计面板有大面积的太阳能面板区域,无需刻意充电,环保。
 If part of your feet are outside the frame, the scale can also tells your weight.
With a skateboard shape, no need to make it as big as regular scale.

即使脚有一部分踩出体重计以外也可以测出体重,滑板形态没必要做得跟常规体脂称一样大。
Of course, not real wheels.

当然了,不会做成真滑轮在底下。
For more details, added some diamond gird under the glass,
typical skateboard pattern.

为了丰富面板细节,使用了菱形网格纹路,典型的滑板元素。
Full alphabet font design for display,even tought it only needs a K and a G.

即使只需要一个K和G,在设计显示屏的字体的时候我将这个字母表和数字字体都进行了设计。
