TV Remote Control andOutdoor SeatingUniversity Project

The following two projects were university assignmentsto practice drawing and modeling techniques and toshow innovation and creativity in concepts generated.

Styrofoam and

card model made

to analyze

ergonomics and

button layout

The TV Remote Control concept was chosen to be madeinto a model. A lathe was used to create the perfectlyspherical end pieces and cylindrical shaft and ring pieces.

After some initial shape exploration and inspiration fromGerritRietveldsZig ZagChair , assembly considerationswere taken into account.



6/22

Aluminum or stainless steel bars used to constructoriginal chair shape since this would provide a strongerstructure and better drainage for rainwater.

Stationery RackUniversity Project

The focus of this design project was more concentratedon manufacturability of the product. Specifically, the briefstated that injection molding was to be used.


9/22


General dimensions of stationery were considered and theoverall shape was developed.


10/22


Minor developments were made and understanding of theunit in context was required.


11/22


Exact dimensions relating to the users hand and thecontents of the rack were conceived and smalladjustments were made to the product.


12/22


Since a maximum wall thickness and draft angle are requiredfor injection molding, optimum dimensions had to beaccurately calculated using a mathematical relationship.


13/22


All slot dimensions were optimized, some of which are notshown.


14/22


Final engineering drawing with all necessary dimensionsincluded.

Work Experience Project Brief was to design packaging for premium beveragebusiness Diageo.

Packaging would have to hold four smallbottles and a free gift towel.

It would to be sold in airports so wouldneed to attract holiday goers
