Exploratory study — visual volume calibration in everyday objects
This project explored how visual cues embedded in form and surface treatment can support intuitive measurement in daily use.
The study focused on the design of a milk bowl incorporating graduated visual markers corresponding to specific volumes (100 ml, 200 ml, 300 ml). Distinct color bands were used as a non-numeric reference system, allowing users to gauge quantity at a glance without additional tools.
The work combined form development with traditional ceramic fabrication techniques to evaluate:
-
the legibility of color-based volume indicators
-
user interaction with implicit measurement systems
-
the balance between functional precision and unobtrusive integration into everyday routines
The project is presented as applied research into how simple visual encoding can improve accuracy and confidence in routine actions.
