Work title: “Lark”
Clocks have evolved from measuring time to being fashion statements. Today, mobile phones have the luxury of multiple-interfaced clocks. In a mobile phone, one can usually choose between interfaces such as analog, digital, calendar, stopwatch, countdown timer, etc. “Lark” was inspired by recent published research on our bodyclock. Some people are Morning Larks (rise early, rest early), whilst others are Night Owls (rise late, rest late). Each of them has respectively different peak levels at different times of the day. “Lark” attempts to give the mobile phone a main clockface with secretarial interface in helping time management as many of us experience less and less time to do more and more things. Important points of the day where our body may peak or face fatique/difficulty in performing certain tasks are emphasized with bolder and brighter numbers and hands. For example, a Morning Lark better performs creative and analytical tasks from 0600 – 1300hrs and from1500 – 1700hrs. Since someome at rest is not likely to look at the clock in detail, if at all, the clockface then fades out from 1700hrs onwards when the body slips into rejuvenation and resting modes. A similar clockface can be imagined for a Night Owl, with other variations in colours and fonts.
