What is Oakley? Oakley is a premium sports equipment brand, that makes - sunglasses, sports visors, ski goggles, watches, clothing, bags, backpacks, shoes and prescription glasses. Oakley holds over 575 patents for its products, materials and processes. Started in 1975 by Jim Jannard with the sole intention of making products that work better and look better than anything else on the market. The first product designed was a motorcycle hand grip which followed the shape of the riders hand and was made out of a new material that increased grip even with sweat. This material was then used in eye wear. This then turned into the Oakley brand we have today.. Jim Jannard - “If you’re going to do something, be brave and jump in, but do something meaningful.”
What is Oakley’s USP? Oakley’s unique selling point is that it has a perceived high performance, which is backed up by a following of high class athlete and a key emphasis on technical innovation.

Oakley heritage steams from being at the fore front of innovation and high performance. This has meant that the collection of sport glasses are at the fore front and used by many top class athletes who see Oakley at the top of sports performance sunglasses.
ASIAN FIT
Standard sunglasses do not all ways fit well for all types of face structure. Oakley Asian Fit sunglasses allow people to get the correct fit that is essential for comfort, protection, and even optical performance.
ACTIVE SUNGLASSES
Mix between style and functionality, Allows them to be worn all the time but still able to be used for sport and for fashion. The frames have quite a defining form of organic skeletal forms as well as quite chunky and aggressive lines.
SPECIAL EDITIONS
Mixing Oakley designs with cutting edge work from artists to create new and interesting glasses.
LIFESTYLE SUNGLASSES
Taking what Oakley have learnt from sport sunglasses into fashion based styles. All the benefits of material, technology, lenses and fit into a fashion frame.
LIMITED EDITIONS
Going against the mass production of the usual Oakleys to a limited production run and taking the ideas of Oakley to merge of art and science. The result is a set of original sunglasses that are different to all others.

User Experience is high among most of these sports glasses this links to the brand code - High Performance, meaning to create a good high performance product the user experience is very important, and the way the user feels and understands the product is very important. Aggressive seems to vary quite dramatically among all of the glasses this shows that Oakley think that some of their customers desire aggressive glasses that may make their opponents uncomfortable or make the person wearing them alter their feelings towards the glasses.This drastic differentiation between glasses shows a differentiation between what users desire. Performance is as expected high over all of the range and links directly to High Performance. Wild links with aggressive in terms that the more aggressive the glasses the likely hood of that being aggressive is correlated. Organic Styling is in the brand code but these sport glasses seem to slightly vary in their degree to organic styling. Customisability is high among all of the glasses this links to a key feature of the brand code - Adaptability. This means that these glasses are able to be customised by the user making them adaptable.

Adidas is the worlds largest sport wear manufacturer producing a wide variety of goods including - bags, shirts, watches, eye wear, and other sports- and clothing-related goods. Founded in 1948 gives it a strong heritage coming from many iconic sporting related products. Bolle began in France in 1888, Seraphim Bollé started the company by first manufacturing combs and hair ornaments from Boxwood and Horn indigenous to the region, but after WWII they started moulding in nylon. In the 1950’s they started creating the sunglasses and safety glasses we see today. Bolle try to achieve fit, fashion, and comfort, by using the latest technology to allow them to create innovations in their glasses.
Founded by Nick Gill in 1975, Gill has become a well established British company designing and producing sailing clothes and equipment. The Brand was founded on believing that they could create better equipment for sailing that allowed greater comfort and durability. Gill is at the fore front of technical innovation with in sailing with key importance on durability in terms of sailing.
Nike is the worlds largest sport wear manufacturer based in the US and produces a wide variety of sporting, equipment and clothing. Founded in 1964, Nike also owns many other sporting related brand’s that include Converse , Umbro and Hurley international. It can be seen all across the world and its “swoosh” and “Just do it” are highly recognised every where you go. Nike all ways trys to be at the for front of innovation in sports attire.
BLOC eye wear was established in 1988, due to the growing demand for sports and fashion eye wear and over the proceeding years, with the notion of going against the idea that perfection can only be achieved with excessive price.

What are the issues associated with sunglasses and sailing? Fall off and sink. Get covered in water and salt so cant see. Polarized lenses make some sails look deeper than they are.
How do you communicate with your coach while training,? When sailing we usually sail for around 3-4hours. Can be a mixture of things depending on what we are working on. If working on speed lot of straight line work. Some days boat handling so lots of tacks gybes starts mark rounding etc. Some days just race training. The coach is in a rib so usually come along side to chat. We also spend quite a bit of time on fitness road biking etc so use glasses then to. This is usually Non coach lead.
Why do you wear sunglasses when sailing? Protect eyes from sun. In light winds can help see wind on the water better.
Do you notice your glasses when you are sailing? When its hot they can steam up. When its windy they get covered in water and cant see.
Are you competing in 2012? No What do you require from sunglasses, specific to sailing? Repel water, don’t fall off and fit.
Is salt water on lenses an issue? Yes even the hydrophobic lenses get covered in salt then need to be washed to stop scratching . Do you wear goggles or glasses? Glasses. Do you change different glasses and lenses dependent on condition? Yes. How long have you had your glasses? 2 years. Where do you keep your glasses, are they precious to you? I take good care of them yes they each have a bag and are kept clean. How much does fashion affect your choice of sunglasses? Not when sailing but on land yes. Did you choose your sunglasses because of the way people will look at you in them and why? No. Have you ever had problems with glasses? Falling off and steaming up in hot windless conditions.

How much does fashion affect your choice of sunglasses? Not really affecting choice , apart from if they stand out too much or just look stupid.
Are you competing in 2012? Yes, Star Class. What do you require from sunglasses, specific to sailing? Protection from the sun light and the glare from the white boats and water, but good enough to see the wind on the water very clearly. What is the toughest part of your sport? The nature of the sport, the fact that the weather dictates the daily plan and the need for flexibility. What are the issues associated with sunglasses and sailing? Issues are you are very active so keeping them on as you knock things. Also , the other issue is water on the lenses. Is salt water on lenses an issue? Yes! Sometimes does not go straight off and sometimes dries on lens depends on conditions.
Did you choose your sunglasses because of the way people will look at you in them and why? No, Have you ever had problems with glasses? No, What is you basic day to day schedule in terms of training, how much you train?, What training?, How do you communicate with your coach while training? Gym 8, prep at 10 , sail for 4-5 hours , then gym and debrief. The coach comes along side and gives us feed back or we do it through head sets while sailing. Do you notice your glasses when you are sailing? Yes, push into the side of my temples.
Do you wear goggles or glasses? glasses, but goggles could be better in strong winds. Do you change different glasses and lenses dependent on condition? Sometimes but its a hassle, I tend to wear glasses in the lighter winds as in stronger winds they fall off. The lens, choice allows me to see the wind better. How long have you had your glasses?

Where do you keep your glasses, are they precious to you? My glasses stay in their cases with my sailing gear. I only wear them on the water and wear different glasses on shore.
Are you competing in 2012? Yes What do you require from sunglasses, specific to sailing? When it comes to sunglasses for sailing, polarised lenses are a must. It takes some of the glare off the water and it makes it easier to read the wind. Multiple lenses are great for different light levels from day to day. The frame needs to fit tight and I prefer captive lenses that wont fall out on impact. What are the issues associated with sunglasses and sailing? Fogging – especially on cold days when you’re sweating, some lenses can fog easily. Also on rainy days and cold water venues. It’s important to have some space to breathe between the lenses and skin. Durability – lenses need to withstand contact with salt water, sunscreen and heat. I’ve had issues with some top brands delaminating. There are times when you come face first with equipment, water, or crew members and lenses and frames need to stay intact on impact and not get scratched easily. Why do you wear sunglasses when sailing? Keeps the glare off and polarised lenses make reading the wind easier. Also helps keep salty spray out of your eyes. Is salt water on lenses an issue? On good lenses, crusted on salt wipes off easily with a little water and a cloth. I’d be interested to know the chemistry between salt and the lens. Do you wear goggles or glasses? Glasses. Do you change different glasses and lenses dependent on condition? Depending on cloud cover, I go between dark gray lenses on bright days and pink tints for dark clouds and rain. How long have you had your glasses? I’ve had my current sailing glasses for almost a year. I usually have at least one pair break every six months.
How much does fashion affect your choice of sunglasses? For my shore glasses, I go more for fashion. For on the water, I like functionality – good side coverage, low profile fit and durable frames. Did you choose your sunglasses because of the way people will look at you in them and why? I guess my on water glasses are pretty sporty while still stylish, but I got them for their function over style. For on shore, I still go for polarised lenses but like bigger square frames on skinny arms. Have you ever had problems with glasses? I had one pair delaminate this year. I couldn’t wear them at all anymore. I’m not sure what caused it. I also ran over a pair accidentally with my truck and they were durable enough to just have an arm break off. I was able to glue it back together and you wouldn’t even be able to tell they were used at all. What is you basic day to day schedule in terms of training, how much you train?, What training?, How do you communicate with your coach while training,? A typical training day usually involves a morning run, 4 hours on the water, and an evening gym session, 5 days a week. I am on the water between 200 and 250 days a year. During off times, the gym and fitness is kicked up a notch. The run and gym are on my own and I have a coach for on the water. Communication with my coach is verbal between my boat and his coach boat. Extensive video and photo analysis is done upon returning to shore. Do you notice your glasses when you are sailing? If they are the right fit, they shouldn’t be noticeable.

Sunglass features Different lenses for different conditions - Depending on cloud cover, dark gray lenses on bright days and pink tints for dark clouds and rain. (Of making it easier to change lenses, way that lenses can react to different conditions.) Protection - from the sun light and the glare from the white boats and water, but good enough to see the wind on the water very clearly. Fogging – especially on cold days when you’re sweating, some lenses can fog easily. Also on rainy days and cold water venues. Also stop steaming in hot, windless conditions. (Airflow between skin and glasses important, or find a more innovative solution to this problem.) Fit - keep them on in strong winds but still unnoticeable, some prefer the reassurance in glasses pushing sides of temples. Correct fitting frame may not have these issues. (Tight fit frame, make then float, create a goggle.) Vision - Glasses used in some conditions and not others - some glasses reduce peripheral vision, some sailors prefer caps for this reason. (Visor, remove frame but maintain solid frame.) Durability - not get scratched or break easily, full framed glasses take up all the knocks and bashes. (Material and lens choice very important to get right to remove these issues). Polarized lenses - can make some sails look deeper than they are. (Importance of clarity in the lenses) Glasses not goggles (glasses that have the security of goggles) Relationship to glasses Ranges from an item that is almost throw away item just chucked in a bag and lasting only a few months to a precious object that is owned for up to a couple of years. Different shore glasses - for style. But sailing glasses purely for function. Glasses do not last that long - quickly scratched.

Fit and security of wearing glasses when sailing is a major issue, but goggles are to hot, by incorporating sunglasses with a band instead of arms aims to solve the issues of comfort, and security.
Customisable arms, using low heat mouldable plastic, allows closer and more comfortable fit, hard sell product like this as professional fitter would be necessary to get the correct level of fit.
Camera recording glasses allow to be worn in training to record decision and sailing and then able to be analysed after the race. Creating the frame, lenses and arms from the same material as the lenses allows their to be no point in the glasses where the glasses themselves affect vision.
Multi part arms allow a greater level of personalised fit as each section can be formed to the individuals head shape, creating a securer and more comfortable fit.
Even with the most expensive glasses their can be issues of the lenses fogging, by taking the air from the sides of the lenses to the rear reduces the issue of fogging lenses.

Security of glasses not falling off your head when sailing is a major issue and this is the main reason why some sailors do not where glasses. By adding a band on to the top of the glasses like a headphone bad aims to reduce this likely hood by creating another point of connect with the glasses and the users head.
One of the issues of sailing with glasses is salt getting on the lenses are drying - by putting a shield at the bottom of the lens this aims to stop the salt water getting to the glasses.
This idea addressees the fact that not everybody has the same shaped head and by adding a three section joint to the pivot point of the arm the creates a more Adaptable fit for wider demographic of user.

Wipe’ies - attaching a screen wiper to the lenses, so at the touch of a button any salt or liquid on the lenses can be wiped off.
To reduce salt on the lenses, by sticking a thin transparent sticker to the glasses where the salt can settle on and dry, and then after ripped off to reveal clean salt free lenses underneath, this could be layered up with multiple layer of stickers dependent of the conditions and length of race.
Taking this from a wind screen wiper design to a simple downward motion reduces the annoyance of wipers going past your eyes making reducing the impact on your sailing.

When training many of the athletes when interviewed are in constant communication with their coach aiding performance. By incorporating sunglasses and radio headset this means no wires to cross, reduced items to look after and more concentration on sailing. The needs for sailing and for training are different, can these differences be incorporated in to one pair of glasses.
Part of wearing glasses as an athlete is about creating a barrier or better version of yourself, taken to the extreme this idea creates a harsher more aggressive design to try and put off other athletes and make you appear threatening.

RESEARCH PART - 1
Many of the athlete’s that were interviewed said that they have more than one pair of sunglasses in most cases one for sailing and one for on land, by creating a design that is adaptable for these two conditions reduces the equipment that the athletes have to own, creating a more fashion aesthetic for their sailing glasses with out affecting performance.
Technology within sailing is getting smaller and smaller and instruments are able to be put in a pocket this allows the next step to be taken by incorporating sailing instruments with a heads up display into a pair of sunglasses. Allowing athletes to see critical information that can aid performance from where ever they are within the boat.

CONCEPTS
RESEARCH PART - 1
This concept is about the different needs and requirements for racing and for training but more focusing on how the sunglasses could allow you to train better. - Allows coach to keep in contact with sailor through radio integrated into thier sunglasses. - Heads up display in the glasses to give the athlete telemetry on thier race - boat speed, distance to next race marker etc.. How it relates to brand Organic Styling - frame has quite an aggressive form but at the same time very specific organic elements within that form. High Performance - designed to allow athletes to train with the latest technology to allow them to have a greater understanding to perform to their best. Adaptable - Lenses can be changed easily and arm can be swapped from race arms to training arms. Dynamic - As these are manufactured from ABS their is many possibilities of different finishes and material colours. Technical Innovation - Glasses before have used heads up displays but none have done used this technology specific to sailing to try and create the best possible sunglasses design to allow maximum performance.

This concept is about trying to make a completely no compromise sunglass design very specific to sailing and addresses the issues that current sunglasses have for sailing. - Increase sailors field of vision. - Reduce salt on the lenses by having tear off strips. - Lens change with full frame design. - Tight secure fit for glasses by having arms that clasp onto the face. How it relates to brand Organic Styling - whole frame of the glasses has a structure very much like a bone structure and the idea of the way that the arms of the glasses work came from looking at joints. High Performance - design of these glasses is to try and make you able to perform the best. Adaptable - Lenses can be changed easily and arms are adjustable to almost all head shapes. Dynamic - As these are manufactured from ABS their is many possibilities of different finishes and material colours. Technical Innovation - would not say that any of the features added to these glasses is new just a slightly different way of doing it, to make sunglasses for sailing the best they can be.

Fashion meets Sport - One pair not two Many athlete’s own two pairs of glasses one for sailing and one for shore one for performance and one for fashion, this concept is trying to merge this boundary of sport and fashion to create a single close fitting sport sunglasses but with a more fashion aesthetic. At the moment sport sunglasses all seem to have the same aesthetic which is quite hard edged and aggressive, definitely not something that could be seen upon the catwalk. From my research over the last 2 or 3 years Oakley has started to move into the realm of fashion sunglasses. Many of the athletes have quite a throw away view of sunglasses as they quickly get scratched and break on the boat or in a bag, glasses lasting as little as 3 months.To try and counter this throw away society by trying to make the glasses into something you covert treasure for many years. How it relates to brand Organic Styling - Form of the glasses has come from thinking of the glasses as a fashion object, but the form has quite organic features styled into it. Adaptable - instead of different lenses for different condition this design is single lens so the user would have to buy different glasses for different conditions. Dynamic - Manufactured from carbon fibre creates many possibles of how the sunglasses can be finished to the users specific requirement. Technical Innovation - combination of fashion and performance.

By combining features from both concept one and two this allows to create the ultimate in performance sunglasses for sailing. Taking the features of the heads up display from concept two allowing the athlete to see information to aid their sailing. Combining this with interchangeable lenses, wide field of vision and tight fit. This design will aim to create an uncompromising pair of sunglasses allowing the athlete to perform at their best possible. Features the glasses must have in order of importance. 1. Lenses tailored to weather conditions - There has to be a straight benefit to wearing glasses at all, so if the lenses are not correct for conditions that can make all the different to them being use full or a hindrance, when sailing. 2. Uncompromising vision - Must be able to have a clear view of sails, other competitors glasses must not hinder moving head. Salt getting on lenses. 3. Must stay on - fit is very important in terms of the glasses not falling off when moving around the boat. 4. Rugged - Ability to take knocks and bashes that may occur within the boat. 5. Understanding wind - affect of this upon the boat in terms of speed over ground. 6. Comfort - races are not to long so the issue of comfort is not the most important concern for the design of the sunglasses.
James Parker - D&AD Oakley
50
RESEARCH PART - 1
How these features will be implemented into the sunglasses 1. Lenses tailored to weather conditions - Ability to change lenses very important and must be fast and easy, no need for lenses to be changed during a race as races are not that long. Lenses must be suited to conditions -Dark lenses in very sunny conditions -Pink tint for cloud and rain -Gold or Bronze the rest of the time 2. Uncompromising vision - Currently some sailors where hat due to the glasses frame impairing what they can see.This design must aim to minimise the issues of frame of lenses obstructing vision as well making the lenses come further round the sides of the face to allow peripheral vision to be impaired by the sunglasses. Spray and salt can become large problems when sailing as the spray comes onto the lenses and then may not run straight off and dries and not easily wiped off, by using hydrophobic lenses this issue is overall countered as the liquid on the lense will bead off and also if salt does dry it can be easily wiped off. 3. Must stay on - Creating a tight secure fit for glasses is quite difficult as all heads are slightly different shapes. Sailors do not like having band behind their head so has to remain an arm. This means that the design of the arms of the sunglasses are very important to get the correct fit with in the glasses. 4. Rugged - Many interchangeable lense glasses have the bottom of the lense exposed meaning it is not as secure in the frame of the glasses and its ability to take knocks is less. The frame must be full around the lens. 5. Understanding wind - Creating a heads up display with in the glasses allowing the wearer to see the affect that the wind has upon their direction and speed. By using sensors to determine wind direction, compass bearing, position of boat in relation to course and speed over ground use full information can be given back to the athlete to improve their racing performance. All of the sensors would have to be fitted into the boat and a wireless link to the glasses would allow them to receive the information. -Speed - Shows the affect of sail or bearing changes upon the speed of the boat giving a much higher degree of accuracy the athlete. -Wind Direction - Shows how close you can get to the wind to increase speed. - Position and bearing - using a combination of pre known race markers plotted in a GPS and compass can allow you to get as close as possible to the most optimum course. Having this information within glasses means that its all ways available and viewable even when you are moving around the boat, as well as if this information is all ways available the sails can be tweaked all the time to increase the speed of the boat dependent of the current wind direction and bearing. 6. Comfort - creating a well designed and ergonomic sunglasses design as specific as possible to the athlete using the sunglasses.

FINAL DESIGN
RESEARCH PART - 1
This concept is about trying to make a completely no compromise Sunglass design very specific to sailing and addresses the issues that current sunglasses have for sailing but also integrates a heads up display allowing the athlete to see instrument telemetry which will enable then to gain better performance from their boat and win. Changeable lenses - Lenses tailored to weather conditions - There has to be a straight benefit to wearing glasses at all, so if the lenses are not correct for conditions that can make all the different to them being use full or a hindrance, when sailing.This design has a simple locking mechanism that allows lenses to be changed easily to variety of tints and specifications. Field of vision - Currently some sailors where hat due to the glasses frame impairing what they can see.This design counters this by the lenses coming round the face further towards the ear. Tight fit - Creating a tight secure fit for glasses is quite difficult as all heads are slightly different shapes. Sailors do not like having band behind their head so has to remain an arm. By creating finger like bone joints that pull into your head this creates a much closer fit. Rugged - Robustness is very import in sailing sunglasses they can be easily knocked so having full frame is very import to keep lenses secure and safe, this is remedied by having a full frame around the glasses as well as the lenses being interchangeable. Understanding the wind - Their is a micro LCD screen mounted in the right hand frame that allows data from sensors mounted in the boat to be displayed to the wearer showing the affect that the wind has upon their direction and speed. Using sensors to determine wind direction, compass bearing, position of boat in relation to course and speed over ground use full information can be given back to the athlete to improve their racing performance. All of the sensors would be fitted into the boat and a wireless link to the glasses allows them to receive the information. -Speed - Shows the affect of sail or bearing changes upon the speed of the boat giving a much higher degree of accuracy the athlete. -Wind Direction - Shows how close you can get to the wind to increase speed. - Position and bearing - using a combination of pre known race markers plotted in a GPS and compass can allow you to get as close as possible to the most optimum course. Having this information within glasses means that its all ways available and viewable even when you are moving around the boat, as well as if this information is all ways available the sails can be tweaked all the time to increase the speed of the boat dependent of the current wind direction and bearing.
Comfort - The design has a design that is suited to male heads rather than women as it is for a larger head this specifications allows the Sunglass to have a more ergonomic design and as specific as possible to the athlete using the sunglasses.

How it relates to brand Organic Styling - Frame has quite an aggressive form over all with the oversized frame, exadurated features, but at the same time very specific organic elements within that form, such as the joints at the ends of the arms where the frame goes over the ears where the splits into parts like a skeletal structure. Much of the rest of the frame is quite bone like and the way the connection between components is very natural. High Performance - design of these glasses is to try and make you able to perform the best, using technology to allow the athlete to understand the boat and the affects of the wind, improving over all performance, Adaptable - Lenses can be changed easily by uncoupling the arms and arms have skeletal spring loaded arms to create a better and securer fit to the head. Dynamic - As these are manufactured from ABS their is many possibilities of different finishes and material colours. Technical Innovation - Glasses before have used heads up displays but none have used this technology specifically to aid sailing to try and create the best possible sunglasses design to allow maximum performance for an athlete to get the most out of the boat and current conditions.

Ryanair is a no frills, low cost, budget airline. Its non aspirational and cuts through the bullshit of the “jet set” of years gone by. User experience is restrictive and aggressive yet democratic, honest and punctual. Advanced technology ensures it’s a supper efficient company on all fronts,allowing it to slash costs and keep fares low. Colour and finish are cheap, brash and tacky. Materials combination are unpretentious, busy and clashing. Asthstetics are inconsistent and often quite brutal.

Final Design Brand Code
No frills - Camera features are set to a minimum only 6 buttons, no settings, no lens in the view finder, small internal memory and only 4 megapixel sensor. Low cost - Due to reduced features and the main components being made from injection moulded plastic, this greatly reduce the cost that this camera can be sold for. Retailing for ÂŁ30. democratic - The whole concept for this camera is about making a very high class camera accessible to everyone, throw low cost and reduced features. Aggressive - Confronts one of the most prestigous and highest-class camera manufactures head on. Super Efficient - Simplicity of camera design removes rear-viewing screen and keeps components to a minimum. Non aspirational - A camera that people would purchase on a whim and do not have to save up for, as its more of a gimic. Brash and Tacky - The form is very classic but the colours are kitsch and Clashing and as it would be made of plastic it creates a cheap material quality.

Research Part 1 - Ecoluxuary
the Eco-Luxury market is expanding rapidly with new products being launched on a daily basis and labels starting to really flaunt their eco-credentials as a major selling point to their brand. People pay more for enviromentally products. (innocent smoothie) In an age of the cheaply plastic goods trying to get away from this throw away society, can this be embraced by makeing low enviromental impact and sustainable objects.

Experimentation Part 1 - Veneer
Combining paper mulch and veneer chips to see if it increased the strength of the paper mulch.
Creating a tube of paper mulch to see if more strength could be gained.
By cutting and layering veneer bowl shapes could be formed
Using veneer as a base to create a spiral of paper pulp to create a tube with more strength than one with purely a whole in middle
Form created by steaming the wood and putting weight in the middle and steam heating the edges.
James Parker - More With Less
Scaleing up paper pulp spiral meant that the paper pulp was not able to dry dure to thinckness and lack of air to the surface.
120
Experimentation Part 2 - Paper Pulp
1
Shredded news paper and hot water pushed into a bowl shaped mould and left to dry created solid form with interesting texture.
2
By using a metal structure inside the paper pulp this created a much more ridgid form. But a tighter mesh would be needed to stop the paper from cracking and still dry quickly and also very hard to define a form.
3
Sheets of paper layerd with hot water to create this bowl. Some layers did not bond to others very well probably because they were not soaked in hot water for long enough.
4
Quite rough pulp tested in a larger press mould. Worked well hard to define edges with any prescision.

Taking the inflation further by trying to give the paper more of an interesting inflated structure.

Balloon used to create inflation affect using layers of veneer, this worked well but two layers of veneer on each side made the veneer split and not able to expand very far.

MarketHifi Seperates market halved since 2001 till 2007. Speaker systems have been the fastest growing sector. This has been partly due to an increase in availability of products at the lower end of the market. Highest growing area of the market in the past few years MP3/ipod docks.

Over the past few years the number of users with the decline of CD’s most users of speakers use it withan Ipod or computer. Neither of these devices are actually designed specificaly to create good sound quality but insead designed to be mobile and as compact as possible. - Computer speakers - Cheap Low Qulalities - I-pod Speakers - every sector of the market high to low. MP3’s and other music formats compress sound reducing the quality of sound. - Better Sound Quality - Music and Speakers - Use with Mp3 and Computer - Relatively compact as tobe used with primarly portable devices. Most people do not sit down just to listen to music usually multi tasking.

Research Clean City - Part 1
What is a Sterile City?
In my opinion the what creates a sterile city is somewhere there is almost total order and a level of clenlieness almost to the extent of a hospital. With people being fied for chewing gum and throwing ciggerettes on the floor. In comparison to London, which in many parts is a City that is quite dirty and random, but also has areas which are totallly clinical. So I do not think that a city can ever be completely sterile. such as canary warf which would be almost as clinical as singapore Sterile can also mean to be really without any character so manotany of structured roads and housing that does not say anthng about the area and becomes manotonous. A city that could be described as this is milton keynes, with rows of houses in very strictl layout and almost all with the same dull form.
What is a clean City?
One that is clean in terms of actual cleanliness, or city with a very low pollution level, or in terms of building and layout of the city or the amount of ccrime and antisocial behaviour. The diagram to the left shows a distibution of ten major cities and how they in terms of how globabl they are and how dirty or clean they are. The cleanest city in the world is Vienna and dirtiest is Baghdad, In terms of dirtiness this is interms of all of the factors above. Pollution level - There have been many initiatives to reduce pollution within cities and urban areas, congestion charging, airaplane carbon offsetting, electric cars which do not give off any pollution but still need electrisity which would have likley come from coal power station and cycling initiatives. Buildings and layout - Does the layout of a city actually make it more clean and do the buildings themselves actually alter how people treat them. Crime and antisocial behaviour - The areas in a city where there is largest amount of antisocial behaviour and crime is within and around coucil housing areas. This doesnt mean that architecture has an affect to make people commit crime, but the people who live in these types of housing are oftern the poorer members of society, who maybe unemployed and crime is the only way to make money.
What is a dirty city?
Rubbish is really a symbol of being dirty and an area not being as nice as it could be. Graffiti is all over east london and much of this done by famous painters (eine, Banksy.....) this was oftern assosiated with vandalism and antisocial behaviour but now companies are asking for their shutters to be sprayed in the iconic east London Eine lettering. This shows how fast something can swap between being art and newsence or dirty and clean. Lagos in Nigeria is oftern thought of as one of the most “Dirty� cities due to high levels of poverty, huge shanty towns, lack of hygene and basic services like schools, rubbish collection, running water etc. Every year the same amount of oil is pumped into the lagos Lagoon as was spilt by BP in America and this is also the main river where people bathe and drink from.

Quality of Urban Life Posotive Urban Experiences Rubbish Bins
In almost every bourogh in London there is some form of weelie bin and recycling scheme. This creates a more posotive experiance for many people, by keeping the streets clear of our black plastic bin liners, making recycling accessable and as easy as possible so that it encourages people to do it. Benefits of recycling goods means that there is reduced amount of goods that go into land fill. Goods will be available at cheaper prices as the raw materials do not need to be extracted out of the ground secound time around.
People Together
Massive addvantage of living in an urban enviroment and more specifically a large city like London is that everyone and almost everything is possible to be done. For example if you need blue modeling foam you can just go and buy it from a shop not order it online and wait for it to arrive.
Ease of Travel
The transport links within many cities are much wider and easier than in non urban enviroments.
Negative Urban Experiences Debt and High Prices
Due to high levels of population and great competition to live in cities, house prices are very high specifically within london it, for example the uk average house price is ÂŁ246,000, in areas of central london the price of only a one bedroom flat is upto ÂŁ550,000 (on average).
Rubbish and Throw away Society
Living cities espesialy there a large emphasis on things being fast and throw away and there is an ever growing trend to eat on the go, which initself makes there a need for that whole process to be disposable. So plastic knives, forks, ecess packaging..... Also the fact that in a heavily urban enviroment almost alll items can be purchased helps this escerlate.
Force Fed Consumption
Around every corner of a heavily urban enviroment there is advertisment for something or other ( the next idevice or club rave). this forced upon us advertising steams back to the throw away society as maybe what we are forced to purchase is not what we want or inded have a use for.
Congestion Pollution
Large amounts of people trying to get around a city leads to an ever growing problem of congestion and pollution. Aswell as an ever growing standard of living meaning people go throw natural resources faster and faster.
Commuting Within a City
Living in a city is meant to have a major benefit of making comuting a thing of the past well you may be geographically closer to where you need to be but that doesnt nessesaraly mean that it will take a shorter time to get there.

Research Enviroment - Part 3
Each year nearly 600 million trees are destroyed to provide fuel to dry tobacco. Put in another way one tree is destroyed for every 300 cigarettes. The world annually discards about 4.3 trillion cigarette butts which creates over 500,000 tonnes of pollution per year which take roughly 12 years degrade. Within an hour of contact with water, cigarette butts can begin leaching chemicals such as lead and arsenic.

The cigarette can be a clear symbol of status and class depending on which brand ( and sub brand). Overall consumption of cigarettes has declined for the past several years, but sales of luxury cigarettes are rising, nonetheless. Many well known brands have produced luxury sub brands as well as individual manfactures specific to the market such as Chancellor, Treasurer and ToR Oriental This has also prompted major fashion houses such as Louis Vitton to create cigarette smoking accessories. Also in this market there are limited edition packs, this ones for lucky strike. This one is made from stainless steel and has crystals in it look more like consumer electronics than cigarette case.

The thought behind this design is to take the action of smoking and create an object that is designed to be fiddled with so that the smoker has comthing to do with his hands when not smokine. But still keeping it cheap to produce, functional and athstetically pleasing. The astetic of the design has been conceived so that it can be easily slid into a pocket with out taking up minimal room. The final product would be produced from brushed aluminium to keep it light and minimal in design.
