section 1current university project work

section 2freestyle personally motivated designs

sesection 3additional sketchbook

project brief:design a future “cult” object

solution:the sa 45 is a device used to convert either wateror smoke into breathable air to the consumer.

currently in 2 variations, 1 used for underwater breathing, the other for sasafe breathing in un-safe enviroments.

the rst uses a conceptual catalyst to remove hydrogen from water to leave pure oxygen,and the second lters any impurities from the surrounding air

challenges: multiple concept generation, progress of ideas, color experimentation, camera angles.

challenges:design for interchangeability, camera angles, detailing

challenges:interchangeable parts, reections, enviroment lighting, multiple components, color theme, material selection, attention to detail

project brief:

“design a shampoo dispensing unit/bottle.”

solution:

the nal idea is a striking shampoo bottle with a different shape.

the shape incorporated what seems like 3 different parts of differentsizes, and with the widely used bottle cap design, the product would

appeal appeal to a large market

different editions of the bottle could be released by the companyby changine the design of the pattern and colors on the bottle.

challenges:design to scale, working parts, material selection, hidden internal designing, post-processing, concept idea presentation

project brief:design a display to house the IED’s Royal Charter

solution:the product displayed on the following sheet is a personal development of an idea far beyond the project brief

the following design is a “tent” that housed a stand, the stand that was the solution solution to the project breif, however, the processes used to create the design shown here was far longer and more detailed than the project solution

challenges:color temperature, surface modelling, shadows, post-processing, material selection and modication, texture mapping, luminosity, lighting

challenges:surface material transparency, camera angles, lighting exclusion and shadowscamera lens adjustment, eld of view and depth of eld

challenges:creating lit area outside the model, surface material transparency and mapping

project brief:redesign an existing product with the aim to improve its enviromental impact

solution:the solution to this project was a coke bottle redesign made from biodegradable

plastic.

i have proposed various limited editions and versions for the companytto consider.

challenges:bottle transparency, environment reections,

camera angles, post-processing

challenges:ambient lighting reduction, diffusion, glow effect, bloom, haze, radiation, luminosity

challenges:material replication, diffusion, color contrasting

project brief:design a product to t into a 100mm x 100mm cube that utilizes 3d printing

solution:the solution was a maze 3d maze made by 3d printing.

the design uses 3d printing technology to its advantage by placing the moving ballwithin the enclosing maze, therefore not allowing the ball to be lost.

The following pages contain various designs from the last 2 years...

challenges:post-processing, reections and lighting, focal blur

challenges:ambient occlusion, directional headlighting, post-processing

challenges:orienting model in relation with the enviroment, aligning reections, balancing lighting,oor height adjustment

challenges:curved features, complex patterns, built to scale, material selection, camera angles, glass reection, environment, shadows

challenges:camera angles, material selection, shadows, reections

The Flex Light.

The Flex light was inspired by nature. Specically bull horns and vines.

The bull horns have inspired the symmetrical and rigid look to the design whereas the vines have inspired the curled and almost wrapped effect created by the shape of the design.

This design was intended to be sold in pairs and be placed at either end of a meeting table, dining table or any table of that matter, they can also be mounted on walls to breate ambient lighting in a room

challenges:shape manipulation, ambient lighting, caustics, bloom, reectionscamera angles, lens correcting

challenges:camera angles, emotion, reection, realism

challenges:moveable parts, reections, material selection, design to scale, design for manufacture, added detailing to propose use, individual component detailing.

challenges:lighting angle and intensity, realistic headlighting, complex surfaces, surface extrusion, symmetry

challenges:camera angle for realism, lighting and shadows, realistic material lighting, lighting bloom

challenges:complex surfaces, motion blur, wheel blur, contrast, streamlining, aggressive design, reaslism

challenges:lighting, contrast, glow effect, emotional feel

challenges:design to spec, to t A1 paper inside, atpack, mimimum components, material rendering, focal blur

challenges:famous design challenge, single surface, material rendering, focal blur, complex sweeps and cuts

challenges:ambient lighting, glow effect, rst attempt at complex surfaces

challenges:material selection, enviroment lighting, shadows, material luminosity, reection, complex sweep

challenges:component lighting, luminocity, enviroment lighting, camera angles, feature patterning, component organisation and oriantation

challenges:knurling, component illumination, lcd rendering, smooth nish, camera angles, soft touch buttons, text based features, colored luminosity

challenges:multiple moving parts, working model,

texture creation, focal blur, post-processing, soft edges, part orientation

challenges:design to exact sizing, minimum wall thickness for stability, tollerances, 3d printing ready

challenges:smoky glass texture creation, focus point, camera angles, blurred reections, luminosity, working parts

challenges:multiple moving parts, working features,

detachable lens, camera angles, complex features

The following pages contain various sketchbook designs...
