900%

As in year one we had this project to begin the uni year. This time I chose plastic bags to use and decided to turn them into bird feeders. This took ages, but i was pleased with the results in the end.

Mobile Phone

As part of a live brief we were tasked to look at the progression of phones in the past year, due to the iPhone being 5 years old and come up with a concept for the phone in the next 5 years. Mine has been designed with the elderly in mind, with the retro rotary dialer. It has a touch screen on the base to input gestures and another touch screen in the middle which can fold into the base using an O.L.E.D screen. There is a heart rate monitor on the top and a projector screen to assist with the emerging tele-health. This will improve the health of many people by being able to monitor them and therefore keep better records and ensure the correct treatment is administered at the correct time.

Cutlery

We had a brief to design a utensil to transfer food from plate to mouth in whatever means we decided. I looked into the problems I had eating spaghetti and came up with a concept to keep the spaghetti on the spoon easier and improve the ergonomics.

Recycling

We had to take a material that cannot currently be recycled, for instance rubber car tires, and create a range of products from this. I chose chewing gum and am still in the process of testing the gum and experimenting with its properties under different conditions.
