Eureka!
Individual Project
November 2022 - February 2023
Tools: Sketch, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
Eureka can provide guidance for children, teach them the inventions in their daily lives, give them knowledge, and answer their questions automatically, assisting them in exploring the world with their parents, inspiring their thoughts and creativity, and stimulating their curiosity.
When I was small, I was always excited as I learned some interesting knowledge and phenomena, and Eureka offers children the happiness of gaining inspiration and knowledge!
Eureka is a Greek word that means “I found it”.
It originates from the story of Archimedes, a Greek mathematician, when he was asked to check if a crown was pure.
Archimedes noticed while taking a bath that the level of the water in the tub rose as he got in and realized that this effect could be used to determine the crown's volume, for the submerged crown would displace an amount of water equal to its own volume. Discovered such a principle, Archimedes then took to the streets naked, so excited by his discovery that he had forgotten to dress, crying, "Eureka! ”
My sister always hounds me to answer various questions. At first, I am pretty patient with that. But as she keeps asking, I get annoyed and sometimes don't know the answers. These questions are difficult for me, a college student, let alone my parents. It would be better if there were a device to answer questions for children automatically.

The logo adopts the theme color of the interface, blue and purple.
The bulb in the round bubble symbolizes inspiration and discovery, in which the filament in the shape of the letter "E" is the initial letter of Eureka.
The main colors of the UI are water-blue and dark purple, which symbolize the curiosity and fantasy of children, people's exploration of the mysterious ocean, sky, and space, and the development of technologies.
The adoption of bubbles is a tribute to Archimedes, who was inspired by the bathtub, and the bubbles are also the symbol of children’s curiosity and imagination.
