Commemorative stamp: background and the design perspective
Peiris, N
A postage stamp symbolises a nation’s value,
consisting of physical and symbolic dimensions.
Physically, it encompasses the paper, design,
inscriptions, ink, gum, perforation etc. Designing
such a small yet democratic symbol holds immense
significance as each line, shape, colour, and
texture carries profound symbolic meanings. This
fiscal device has only a three-second window to
communicate between the user and the envelope it
is affixed (Zsolt, 2012). Discussions on the ‘Science
of Designing Stamps’ initiated in 2020 between the
Department of Integrated Design, University of
Moratuwa, and the Philatelic Bureau of Sri Lanka.
These laid the groundwork as the Department spoke
about the scientific nature of designing stamps
and proposed thirty (stamp) sample designs and
themes, emphasising that stamps are not just
affixed prints but national symbols, landmarks of
history and revenue generators completed for its
users. In addition to this discussion a stamp design
competition was launched in 2020, inviting Media
and Communication Design undergraduates who
were endangered in this conversation via their
project; Graphic and Layout Design to partake. The
winning design, created by Ms. Amaya Rodrigo,
was launched to mark 2020.02.20, 20:20:20 stamp.
Continuing in this vein, a stamp competition was
initiated for the University’s 50th Commemorative
stamp, calling upon present and past graduates
to design an innovative stamp reflective of the
institution’s journey towards excellence

Innovative storage solution to empower the guardians of Sri Lanka’s black pepper legacy to thrive and prosper
Vihangi, K
Black pepper, also known as the “King of Spices,” is
the most widely used spice in the world. Sri Lanka, a
leading producer, ranks fifth in proximity to pepper
farming and seventh in manufacturing [1]. The Sri
Lankan pepper is well-known for its exceptional
qualities, such as its high Piperine content. Sri
Lanka presently contributes for 60% of exports,
with India purchasing 62% of these goods [2]. The
top 10 nations, which include Germany, Pakistan,
Egypt, the United States, the United Arab Emirates,
the United Kingdom, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and
Spain, account for 91% of global pepper exports.

Enhancing food quality: comprehensive packaging solution for authentic ceylonese cuisine
Peiris, R
In the intricate dance between form and function that defines the world of
product packaging, the paramount role of safeguarding goods intertwines
with the artistry of capturing consumer attention. Beyond the utilitarian
shield for its contents, packaging emerges as a potent tool for marketing
strategy, concurrently lowering advertising costs and stimulating impromptu
purchases. In the dynamic landscape of Sri Lankan authentic foods, where
rich flavors and cultural significance converge, the design of a distinctive
and effective packaging solution stands as a critical aspect.

Teetoy – teeth cleaning device for children revolutionizing children’s dental care with nature-Inspired precision
Kandanarachchi, R
Addressing the intricacies of dental hygiene in the critical 3-5 age range
has presented a persistent challenge, marked by discomfort, taste aversion,
and a general lack of enthusiasm. Acknowledging the formative nature of
this age for establishing lifelong oral health habits, an exhaustive research
initiative unfolded to comprehend the nuanced dental hygiene struggles
faced by this demographic and craft an innovative solution.
Through direct interviews and comprehensive Google surveys involving 30
children and their parents, a notable 59.1% of children expressed a distinct
disinterest in the teeth-brushing ritual. Reasons varied from the perceived
hardness of bristles to the monotonous nature of the process, coupled
with elements of fear and a lack of parental supervision. Armed with this
nuanced data, the research delved into the realm of nature for inspiration,
focusing specifically on how animals’ inherent cleanliness habits could in-
form a groundbreaking approach to children’s dental care.
This journey of inspiration culminated in the conceptualization of “Teetoy”
– a visionary teeth cleaning device designed to infuse playfulness, enjoy-
ment, and efficacy into the brushing process for children. The device com-
prises three integral parts: the head, neck, and handle.
