About Doodlight Bullet Journal Laser Projector
Doodlight is a laser projector. It is an optical guidance. During planning and designing them in a bullet journal, managing design elements and page space is often difficult and sometimes unsuccessful. In addition, it is not easy for everyone to draw various fonts, shapes, etc, at correct proportions. Doodlight solved these problems. It has an App. Put the desired shapes and texts in the app. Then transfer them to the product via Bluetooth. The Doodlight displays them on the paper with laser light. Now track the light and draw the designs on the paper.

- Production Technology
- This product is based on industrial laser projectors. It is an optical guidance and it displays the laser light as a guide to draw on the paper. It has one laser light source for single-color projection. Data transfer technology is both wired and wireless, and data is transferred from mobile to product via Bluetooth or USB cable. A USB cable is also used to charge the product.
- Design Challenge
- An important challenge in using a journal bulletin is to solve problems and difficulties while designing its pages. With this product, you can more easily manage journal design. You can design faster and with the same quality you want. You can edit the designed journal many times before drawing on paper. Another challenge was trying to shrink the product as much as possible so that the user could easily carry it with her/his bullet journal.

- Operation Flow
- First, open the Doodlight app, which is already installed on the mobile device. Then select the size of the bullet journal paper. Then select margin. Now, Click the Add button to select the doodles, fonts, and whatever you need to design your bullet journal page. You can change the size of them and design them on the App as you like. When the designed page is complete, press the Doodlight button to send your designed page to the product via Bluetooth. Now, place the doodlight on top of the bullet journal paper. The product displays your designed page on the paper with a laser light. Now track the laser light and draw the designs on the bullet journal paper.
There is a power button on top and focus and zooming button on side of the product. It can be charged with a USB cable. Also below the product is a clamp so that when used, the product can be easily fixed on the bullet journal. - Research
- In today's digital world, time management with new methods is very important because it is faster and more complete. Bullet Journal is also used for planning. According to my research, in some cases there may be a problem while designing bullet journal pages, drawing shapes, different fonts, page layout and so on. Sometimes it takes a long time to design a page. Sometimes it is necessary to draw with a pencil and then use a marker or pen to highlight the correct lines. The research eventually led to the design of the Doodlight.
- Inspiration
- "Track the past, order the present, and design your future."
Doodlight is a laser projector. It is used as an optical guidance to help you design a bullet journal easier and faster. Doodlight is a little friend who is always with your bullet journal. Whit this product, you can easily implement any idea about design, font, margin you have in mind with the same quality on your bullet journal. “Doodlight” is a combination of the words “bullet Doodle” and “Light (Laser)”.

Design Interview about Doodlight Bullet Journal Laser Projector
It may have happened to all of us that we want to draw a certain shape, table, chart or font on a piece of paper that is difficult or time consuming for us to draw. Sometimes it may even be very different from what we guessed or expected because of our inability to put it on paper, or after drawing the elements on paper and seeing the reality of what we had in mind, we were not satisfied with our layout and came to the conclusion that I wish I had used a different layout. My main idea starts here. First, select the elements on the Doodlight mobile app page which is the same as paper proportions. Then you can connect the mobile Bluetooth to Doodlight and transfer it to the product. Now Doodlight uses a laser to display your design on the desired paper and you can see your design on paper and in real dimensions. If you are satisfied with your layout, all you have to do is pick up your pen and start drawing lines by following the laser lights on the paper. When done, you have the design ready and it is exactly the same as what you had in mind!
In addition to the concept, the performance and beauty of the product has been very important to me. The product is too small to carry with you. In terms of form design, Doodlight has the character to convey the feeling I have in mind: "Doodlight is a little friend who is always with your journal."
Bring Doodlight to mass production.
Its design process took about 4 months. But the idea took months.
At first there was no design order, the design of this product started with an idea and its purpose was to solve the problem and respond to the needs of users in this field. After focusing on the idea, I came to the conclusion that it could be a successful product.
Currently, due to the Covid19 pandemic, it has become a bit difficult for me to decide to respond to the production proposals of this product. I need more time to decide. But I still welcome reasonable and good production opportunities.
Good idea, feeling the user needs and my personal interest in such topics.
It is not possible to specify a specific case, but certainly like any other designer, it has had an indirect impact on its surroundings.
Doodlight is for those who want to draw anything hard or time consuming with the best quality on paper. To help those who want to complete their journal pages, or those who want to practice drawing or calligraphy, or even for more complex tasks such as drawing. This product has solved many problems and met many needs in this field.
This product does not have a similar example and is the first product that is designed to meet the needs of users in this field and solve their problems.
Doodlight consists of two separate words whose meanings are in accordance with the function and purpose of the product: The first part is "Dood" which is an abbreviation of the word "Doodle" and means hand-drawn lines and patterns on paper. The second part is "light", which refers to the phrase "laser light", which actually reminds the mechanism of the product. The two sections "Dood" and "light" are placed next to each other so that when pronouncing the product name, the letter "L" is the end of the first word and the beginning of the second word. That is, it is both the boundary separating two words from each other and connecting them! Doodle + Light = Doodlight
3D Modeling software, rendering software, presentation software as well as simulator and analysis.
Perfect performance and good concept, idea, form have perfected this product.
I designed this product individually, but in areas such as data collection and final analysis about the function of the laser part of the product, I consulted several experts in this field.
Doodlight is a digital product and technology undoubtedly plays a big role in it. Doodlight application for mobile, mobile and product communication with the help of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, as well as displaying the desired shapes by Doodlight on paper, is one of the most important and bold technology roles in this product.
Yes, the most important part of the test and analysis was the laser and the adjusting lens.
One of the most important challenges was minimizing the product, which made the use of laser technology a bit difficult, but in the end the problem was solved.
I have participated in many international design competitions and won many awards. I like the challenges of world competitions and that is why I participated in this competition.
A successful designer is always and everywhere learning. Naturally, this project was also instructive for me. The challenges of working with lasers and lenses and their proper performance were technically and engineeringly instructive for me.
Thank you for this interview.
