Mae’r blwyddlyfr hwn yn ddathliad o waith a gynhyrchwyd gan fyfyrwyr y ddwy Raglen Dylunio BSc sydd yn graddio eleni. Mae gan y cwrs un o’r cyfraddau bodlonrwydd a chyflogadwyedd myfyrwyr uchaf o unrhyw gwrs dylunio yn y DU, nid yw hyn yn digwydd ar ddamwain, ond oherwydd y berthynas broffesiynol a adeiledir ble mae israddedigion yn chwarae rhan bwysig yn eu datblygiad personol a datblygiad y cwrs. Mae dylunio a chreadigrwydd yn heintus o ran natur, ac mae staff a myfyrwyr wedi cymryd rhan barhaus yn y prosiectau, mae rhai yn fwy effeithiol nag eraill ond nid yw gwir werth her yn amlwg ar yr olwg gyntaf bob amser. Gobeithiwn y byddwch yn mwynhau’r amrywiaeth o gynhyrchion ac yn gweld safbwyntiau’r myfyrwyr a’r mannau cychwyn a nodwyd fel rhan o’u taith dylunio a gweithgynhyrchu. Dymunwn y gorau iddynt gyda’u taith bersonol dylunio yn y dyfodol. -- DEWI RHYS ROWLANDS CYFARWYDDWR CWRS, A THÎM Y CWRS, KATIE ROBERTS; ALED WILLIAMS; PEREDUR WILLIAMS

This yearbook is a celebration of work produced by the Year 3 cohort of both BSc Design Programmes. The course boasts one of the highest student satisfaction and employability rates of any Design course across the UK, this does not happen by chance, this is the result of the professional relationships that are built as part of the programme where undergraduates play a major part in their own and course development. Design and creativity are infectious by nature, staff and students have been continually involved in these projects, some are more successful than others but the true value of challenge is not always immediate. We hope that you enjoy the diversity of products in this yearbook and see the students’ perspectives and starting points identified as part of their design and manufacturing journey. We wish them all the best with their onward design journey. -- DEWI RHYS ROWLANDS AS COURSE DIRECTOR & THE COURSE TEAM: KATIE ROBERTS, ALED WILLIAMS, PEREDUR WILLIAMS.

02 With the ability to turn and lock into a 90 degree angle the sound can be directed. When plugged into the wall’s plug port the sound is directed upwards working as a surround sound speaker. To get power to the internal battery no additional wire, batteries or plug adapter is required. The speaker can be taken from place to place and is effectively able to be used globally. 03 An assortment of ideation ranging from bamboo to rockets, even lightsabers featured in the sketching, but it took a while to narrow down from its large scope. It was important to use coloured renders to help aid the visual. 04 A CAD render in its 90 degree angle shows how clean the angle is. This right angle shape is kept in place with an internal groove and lock mechanism so that the wires do not twist and break any internal electronics.

01 One of the prototype models made to work out what needed to change, to produce a 4 degree head angle change. These findings were then translated to CAD to refine the measurements. 02 The final concept design with the piston for the adjustment to change the head angle this uses three pivot points which changes the geometry of the frame. 03 Initial sketching that I went forward with to make a frame which could be adjusted to have here different head angles to cover the different bike disciplines. The idea of changing the down tube length had the effect on the head angle so that it needed minimal change in length, this was combined with another idea to give the full movement needed.
05 Having multiple bikes for different disciplines costs a lot of money and within the middle section of the discipline there can be a lot of confusion about which bike to buy. The final design addresses these issues. The images shows the pivot points and the adjustment of the frame. The steel frame proved the initial idea that I set out to achieve, a bike frame that could be changed to be more efficient at downhill, cross country and endurence. 06 This an example of a piston that could be used for a future design that would improve the adjustment mechanism as it could be more finely tuned than the initial mechanical design. It could also be used while riding the bike as it could have a handlebar remote.
04 The steel frame prototype which was used to test the proof of concept, showing that a small adjustment would change the geometry of the frame making it more suitable for the different disciplines. PRODUCT DESIGN BANGOR

01 All militaries world-wide use one detector per fifteen men, making it difficult to account for thirty future footsteps. The current method is unreliable whereas the C.I.E.D. allows each soldier to be in control of detecting their own footsteps. The old method of detecting for IED’s required a long device that was heavy and required the soldier to be heavily concentrated on detecting rather than any other tasks. The new solution provided by the C.I.E.D. allows the user to carry on with all other tasks as it works dormant to the soldier, only alerting them when an IED is detected. 02 The C.I.E.D. works by detecting the future step of the opposite foot. The unique angle and large detecting distance allows for all ground to be cleared 1.5m in front of the soldier.
04 The C.I.E.D. was designed to detect at the speed of a soldier, it will easily detect beyond the running speed of a soldier and still provide an accurate response. This fast detection also allows for a faster detection rate in comparison to the previous methods. 05 Soldiers are designed to be dropped in to any location and fight, the C.I.E.D. was designed to the same expectation. It is durable, efficient and accurate. With its ability to detect all IED’s, the threat will decrease allowing the terrorist threat to follow.
03 The C.I.E.D. is a small, non-intrusive life saving device that requires no user input and provides the soldier with a sharp accurate vibrating response that not only indicates direction of IED but distance from soldier.

01 Vifi aims to help change the way old furniture is regarded when no longer required.
06 Better use of technological language when branding and promoting is used to evoke quality and modernism.
02 The pattern is created to visually intrigue and interest, making the pieces stand out from other furniture currently available on the market. 03 Use modern manufacturing processes, such as CNC’s, on old furniture, acts as a new USP to the brand, offering customers an alternative to ‘upcycled’ furniture. 04 The new and improved look aims to increase the products lifecycle by at least 5 years. 05 The end product should appeal to customers through the products journey/story. Users are able to customise products which makes the process more personal.

01 This area illustrates the ideation stage of the design process. Thus, representing the first initial sketches and modeling which had been undergone to open the path of creativity. Doing so allowed me to go as wide as possible in terms of solutions that could be achieved, which I then narrowed down in the development stage. 02 This demonstrates the final product in two forms; assembled and exploded. This gives a clear example on how MOB is formed and how it then comes together within its many components. As seen, it easily represents simple function for the user given that semiotics has been applied to the design. 03 Given its function, a product is only complete when it is shown in context as provided. The product has been accustomed to the active military personnel. This is because, current products implemented for soldiers have not been specifically focused around their problem, instead it only creates more, until MOB.
The image shows a few sketches of the first stage of development. This gave me a visual representative to go by when manufacturing and testing elements of the product for commercial use. As illustrated the sketches go through all the sections of the product as well as forms of inspiration. 05 The product has an accustomed pattern which allows for air and segment filtration when on. This then prevents any irritation for the user. It can also be seen that the product incorporates a ratchet strap system which allows for it to been easily tightened, making the PPE back bracing conform to a variety of user’s. 06 The design can be easily manipulated to fit the user’s requirements. This is because, the military can be known to destroy products when they infringe on what they do. So, the product can be folded and put to other use until a fracture is sustained.

01 Integrated spirit level allows users to discover whether posts/stakes have been inserted in to the ground at a strait angle. 02 Worked with Elidir Fencing Co. throughout the duration of the project. Visited the company on three separate occasions. First time was during research, second during the development stage and the third and final time was during the evaluation stage.
05 The grip tape provides optimum grip in muddy and wet working conditions as the ball and socket joint allows the foot to lie flat on the ground at all times. The gate hook silhouette’s allows the user’s to locate gate hook positions with ease. 06 The concept is very simple, however it addresses a problem the stock fencing market is crying out for.
03 The product is made of aluminium, a lightweight and corrosion resistant material. Aluminium also allows the product to be robust as the brushed finish matches up to aesthetic demands. 04 Dimensions on the tool are bold and clearly visible in poor lighting conditions. Imperial and metric measurements are displayed. (Metric measurements are placed on the flip side)

01 Research proved that 50% of medical practitioners disagree with the measurement of cervical dilation. 02 Through market research, it has become evident that the majority of mothers state that they would have benefited from having an accurate measure of their cervical dilation. 03 Final design consists of a 720pixel camera which will measure the cervix through an app and contractions through muscular tensing and vibration. 04 Ideation proved that the most effective way of getting an accurate result is through inserting the device into the vagina to have a clear view of the cervix. Majority of mother participants have stated that this would not be an issue for them. 05 A selection of apps allowing mothers to track various areas of their child’s birth to ensure a safe delivery.
