Loneliness

Brief: Accounting for how different groups in society are affected by loneliness, design a way to reduce its impact on one or more of the following: physical health, mental health or access to services.

A service, app and village hub was created to reduce loneliness by improving bonds and relationships between villagers and local producers.

It allows locals to interact and connect with local suppliers and producers of produce such as, milk and eggs, to increase social interactions.

Order ones local produce off the app and receive it within 24 hours. Visit the local information point to collect milk, this acts as a communal point bringing locals together.

The information point gives details on where to find your local suppliers for fruits, meats etc.. (this is also available on the app)

Business Card shoe horn

Design an innovative promotional product for less than ÂŁ2.50 based on 10,000 units. Specific attention to materials and manufacturing techniques.

The model was water cut from 1mm stainless steel to scale so that it could be used and tested in a wallet.

The slots cut into the product have been made to make the shoe horn flexible, allowing the product to fit the shape of the shoe easily whilst still retaining its shape afterwards.

Although generation Z are virtually together more than ever, they often feel isolated and disconnected from people in real life and experience higher levels of loneliness.

Design a confectionery product, service, app for gen Z that brings friends or family together and improving connections.

03 Nestle

Confectionaries

The customer chooses what recipes they wish to make off Nestles website and they are then sent the ingredients, recipe cards, a container and sample silicon molds used for shapes such as eggs.

The user then cooks the recipes with friends and family and shares their food on their social media spreading brand knowledge.

The base of the container is a composite of crushed shells and polymers which give it the texture and feel of a ceramic but the strength and physical properties of the chosen polymer, HDPE.

Leather clips with poppers fasten to the base to hold the curved shape as seen on the bottom image. The red clips simply clamp down keeping the snacks fresh and protecting them from damage.

Design For Production Sheet Material Project Explore the commercial home-ware market, developing a single or range of products specifically for sheet material manufacturing, such as laser, water and plasma cutting. There is no restriction on type of product however awareness of target and route to market must be considered.

Sko

Sko is a Danish inspired shoe rack which functions for 1 or more pairs of shoes with the additional wall mounted frame.

The range of colours give the rooms energy, whilst the sweeping curves and organic form emphasizes the Scandinavian influence.

The inspiration for this project came from curved Scandinavian furniture, architecture and the minimalist lifestyle that is associated with the Danish.

This then inspired the creation of a place to store shoes for new home owners in compact spaces such as small urban flats.

For additional shoe storage spaces wooden batons can be fixed to the wall allowing extra shelfs to slide on and increasing the capacity.

Starpack Motor Oil Bottle

“Using plastic as the primary material design a 5-litr motor oil that allows easy dispensing of the conten needing any separate utensils.�

re pack for nts without

The initial ideas developed around the geometry of the bottles. There is a range of bottles without handles, with 1 handle and with 2 handles. it was decided that 2 handles would be most suitable for pouring oil.

air out

Sliding switch allows air to escape from the bottle causing no vacuum to build up. This stops the gluggling and results in a smooth cleaner pour.

Two ergonomic handles gives the consumer more control and comfort than other competitors. The additional comfort and control means less oil is spilt around the engine.
