The winning entries were released recently by the 2013 Red Dot Design Award, the Oscars in the design field. The College of Design of YunTech was honored with 1 award in the category of Product Design and 2 awards in the category of Design Concept. 

As one of the 4 most important design competitions in the world, the 2013 Red Dot Design Award attracted 4,662 entries from 1,865 designers and companies of 54 countries/regions. The winning rate was only 5.7%. Although the rate of 2013 was the lowest ever, the students of College of Design from YunTech still stood out and were awarded in this competition. The design strength of YunTech students is something that cannot be denied.

The awarded products are listed below:
 
“i-ADDICTION,” honored with an award in the category of Visual Communication Design, was invented by students Ching-an Zong and Chun-kai Lin of the
Department of Visual Design under the instruction of Associated Professor Jung Tsao, Assistant Professor Shih-mou Kuo and part-time Lecturer Chang-chin Lin. “Fly Catcher,” honored with an award in the category of Product Design, was invented by students Rei-yuan Hong of the Graduate School of Design and Shih-shun Chang of the Department of Creative Design under the instruction of Associated Professor Ching-liang Wang.“Bamboo Cloud,” honored with an award in the category of Product Design, was invented by students Ping-chie Wu, Min-tsu Huang, You-wei Chen and Pei-yu Yen of the Department of Creative Design under the instruction of Associated Professor Tsen-yao Chang, Associated Professor Ching-liang Wang and Assistant Professor  Tzyy-liang Hsieh. 
 
The design concept of “i-ADDICTION” was from the hot button issue “phubbing”. It intends to convey the phenomena of Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) in the Information Age, a time during which people face problems in communicating and interacting with others and also a loss of trust. The terminology “i-ADDICTION” is derived from “i-phone” and seeks to convey the concept “I am already addicted.” With the image of living in prisons, the inventors hope people will reflect on their interpersonal relationship issues and their inability of communication in this sci-tech civilization. 
 
“Fly Catcher” is a cover for a trash and is designed to make fruit flies disappear from your kitchen. As fruit 
flies are sensitive to food smell, Fly Catcher uses this characteristic to attract them into the inner can. In this way, fruit flies won’t be able to fly out of trash cans and people won’t see fruit flies fly in their kitchens anymore. 
 
As for “Bamboo Cloud,” it was created due to the creative and great craft strength of the bamboo industry in Taiwan. The bamboo craft industry in Taiwan has prospered in these years. In Taiwan, bamboo has been used to replace wooden materials and is considered as an organic material protecting our environment. In making a “Bamboo Cloud,” instead of using bamboo 

pipes, the inventors use the gentlest part of each bamboo to make a chair for people to sit comfortably and relax in. The special part of a “Bamboo Cloud” is in its design which uses the curved characteristic of each bamboo to make people able to relax their bodies while sitting in the chair. With this special characteristic, the chair can be placed in places people can sit and relax, such as coffee shops, libraries, and so forth.
