MA Design: Products and Furniture MA Design: Products and Furniture course is aimed at the designer who wishes to develop innovative products, furniture, systems or services. We support students to develop individual design philosophies and creative methodologies, while engaging with the realities of designing for new and emerging markets. With a strong studio-based culture, this course considers the relationship between traditional craft skills, new technology and modern manufacture, and encourages collaborative working and hands-on experience. Students are given the tools to understand the market, social needs and end users, developing into an advanced and aware designer, specialising in existing or emerging areas of product design. The course, and the associated support provided by the University, enables graduates to develop advanced design, technological and manufacturing skills, enabling them to start their own business, work within the manufacturing industry, design consultancies, research and development organisations, or to progress to further study by engaging in research.

JIM DALES HEAD OF PRODUCT DESIGN It’s been an extraordinary year. When this talented group of students joined us at NTU in October 2019 to begin their Postgraduate journey, little did we know what the next twelve months would hold in store. But, despite all the challenges that these students have faced, they have made it to the end of the course with a rich and diverse range of inspiring projects. Ultimately, our students have learned some important life lesson through the year. They have learnt to adapt, remaining flexible and resilient throughout, but most of all, they have learnt to face all the challenges that life has thrown at them with open, creative minds. Design is a discipline that demands an openness to challenge and a willingness to face problems that can seemingly come at you from any angle, so in many respects this years cohort is more prepared and ready for the challenges of their industry and the world for which they design, more than ever before. I wish you all the best of luck James

BELLA GĂœLDEN MALYA PRODUCT DESIGN MASTERS COURSE LEADER MAJOR STUDY AND DESIGN TOOLS MODULE LEADER First of all, I would like to thank all our students for their dedicated hard work, motivation, perseverance and enthusiasm despite unexpected circumstances we have faced. This year has been a challenging year for all of us in various ways and these unprecedented times have tested all of us and our abilities to adapt, change and overcome difficulties. In the first few months of our academic year, together with our students and our teaching team, we developed a strong studio environment and NTU Product Design Masters community. Within this community, everyone has been welcoming, supportive, friendly and passionate; together not only great projects were created but also many beautiful friendships and memories were formed. This supportive network has helped us all to keep connected and motivated even after a global pandemic outbreak happened and affected all of us in ways we would not possibly imagine. The difficulties and limitations have been tough in various ways but all of you managed to find creative ways to proceed with your projects and create opportunities out of obstacles. This sometimes meant changing the scope of projects, adjusting research methods and even inventing/testing new methods to do research within restrictions. During their exciting and inspiring journey, our students have had a positive and professional attitude towards their work. I’m extremely proud of each and every student, their progress, learning and their project outcome; as I know, it has not been easy.
09
Here, I would like to thank all our NTU Product Design Masters teaching team for their hard work, dedicated support and continuous help. During this challenging academic year while working together we had many opportunities to give and receive feedback from each other. As I always believe, teaching is not a one-way transaction but instead a multiway exchange opportunity to grow together and challenge each other. Hence this year has been a great opportunity for all of us and we have learned from our students as much as our students have learned from us. When we could, we all had the chance to get to know each other in person, visit different places, learn about different cultures and celebrate the diversity and enrichment of our community at NTU Product Design Masters and this helped us build strong bonds between us. At the end of year, I’m looking forward to seeing all projects presented at the first NTU Product Design Masters Virtual Degree Show. While showcasing these projects online for the first time, we are also happy to celebrate the completion of this wonderful experience altogether. It has been a great pleasure for me and our teaching team to guide our students through their journey this year and as much as it is sad to see them graduate, we are very excited and happy for them to start a next chapter in their professional lives. As strong, hard-working, creative individuals, despite all difficulties, looking at how brilliantly they have improved and developed their skills this year, I have no doubt they will overcome any challenge that will come their way from here onwards. Finally to all our students, well done and I wish you all the best in your bright future. Please remember anytime you need, both myself and your NTU Product Design Masters community will be here for you.

DESIGN TOOLS PROJECT
Design Tools Module provides students with necessary practical skills and knowledge to devise creative design solutions at an advanced level in your chosen program of study. The module develops students as a designer, broadening their fundamental knowledge of a wide range of materials, tools and processes, while challenging them to develop and demonstrate advanced ability and knowledge in existing specialisms. The module comprises a number of design activities introducing students to emerging materials, technologies and processes. Based on individual needs as identified by the skills audit, students learn to develop both specific new knowledge and the critical and analytical skills to assess appropriate materials and technologies as part of the design process. Alongside workshop sessions, students were also given a design brief to apply their new learned skills to design practice. This year, students were asked to design and develop a sustainable and innovative lamp which utilises a specific interaction to operate, for a chosen target market. In this project, consideration of consumer behaviours, current trends as well as materials, technology and product specification are all very important to achieve a suitable and innovative product solution. Details of the target consumer and trend analysis were researched initially and referred to during this project. Students created a narrative and used this narrative to design their user scenario. As a result, the projects were created as an independent controlled light source. On the other hand, students were not allowed to use a traditional switch and / or a mobile application to control the intensity of the light. The design solutions were aimed to create tangible interaction with the user within the relevant user scenario. In this project, in order to develop a product for a particular target market, deep understanding of this market, profiling users, analyzing current trends and evaluating existing products were all essential elements.
