Water Water The RSA brief asked us to solve a water related issue. This project focuses on water wasted by students.
01 Water Water
4/5 students take a 10 min shower ! Showers are meant to be short.
Students waste water mainly in 3 places. When they are taking a shower, brushing their teeth and when washing up their dishes.
A lot of students run their tap when washing up their dirty dishes instead of filling the sink.
4/10 students leave their tap running when brushing their teeth. Filling a small glass of water is more than enough !
Creating a scheme with the University would help students waste less water by giving them incentives to save water.
Save Water
This stand will be present at the freshers fair to introduce the scheme to new students. This will create an awareness and an opportunity to join the scheme for the more eager ones.
The logo’s purpose is to promote the scheme around the campus and to change students attitude towards water over time.

Save Water
The website will help students save water by giving tips and by allowing them to enter a monthly competition where they will be able to win prizes.
The E-pack is given to students after a 2 month period. This is so they won’t discard the information and increase the chances of them changing their habits.

Designing for our senses The aim of this project was to create a submission for the Lexus Design Award 2015 which had for theme Senses.
02 Designing for our senses
We can’t always express our feelings in the way we would like to. However, when we do get a chance to, we often use our hands to portray our emotions.
02 Designing for our senses
With this small device you are able to squeeze, stretch, crunch, throw, personalise it. You are able to perform these actions anywhere since you can easily carry it around. There are endless ways to use it and is only an arm length away.

Non-literal Form The aim of this project was to focus on product detail. We were to create an object which appeared to have a function but in reality had no purpose.
03 Non-literal Form
03 Non-literal Form
The concept is based around cylinder shaped objects. This shape is one which fits comfortably in people’s hands. The shape and layout of the details reflect electronic qualities of a product, which were demanded by the brief.
Redesigning the Orthotic Our brief was to create an Ankle-Foot Orthotic (AFO) which is more aesthetically pleasing.

INSIGHTS
Non customisable
Not aesthetically pleasing
AFO’s are medical devices and they look so. Their design is purely functional, form follows function.
When wearing a full or 3/4 orthotic, the full support isn’t always needed, like when sitting at your desk.
Bespoke AFO’s are only bespoke measurement wise. They are all fitted to the owners, never the less they all look the same.
Full support isn’t always needed

Not aesthetically pleasing
AFO’s can still have form follows function and look nice as it is the case for eye glasses.
AFO’s should be customisable. measurements, why not for thei

. They are bespoke for ir shapes and pattern ?
OPPORTUNITIES Creating a system to allow the orthotic to be partly separated would increase comfort for the user.
Full support isn’t always needed

NEW ORTHOTIC
AFOs can be exciting ! We decided to make them asthetically pleasing so that they would no longer be regarded as an imposition on users.

very of the AFO. We wanted to create an to make people excited about receiving one.
SERVICE
Our other focus was the process of getting an AFO. We looked at it from the moment the injured users go to the doctors to when they receive at their homes.

SHAPE SELECTION We found 3 main users for AFOs; people who are heavily into sport, people who are into fashion and finally people who are professionals.
This version was created for those who are injured and are carrer focused.
This version was created for those who have an interest on fashion.
This version was created for those who practise a lot of sport.
NEW ORTHOTIC The AFO is made up of 2 components. Each component has 2 layers which interlock to provide the clip system. The clip system is made from 2 elastic straps to lock the components together. They go through the holes located on the foot component and are then wound together through the leg component to secure it.

PACKAGING
The packaging was created to create some excitement when opening it. We are wanting people to want to pull it apart, so that they can put their hands on their bespoke AFO. The sliding opening was chosen so that it gives users a preview on how the AFO is assembled together before putting it on.
SERVICE The patient has an accident causing him to need an AFO.
They then go to the doctor to get the measurements required to make the bespoke AFO.
After having visited the doctor, the patient creates a profile with peacock. This allows them to enter the measurements and to personalise their AFO.
The patient then receives their AFO within 2 weeks.

05 Food Waste
Reality
7 million tonnes wasted in UK homes every year The average household throws away on average ÂŁ60 worth of food a month
We buy a lot of food and an enormous portion goes uneaten in our homes
John is a person who has basic cooking skills. He doesn’t realise that he wastes food every week and is therefore throwing money away
What if ... Supermarkets helped him waste less food through Plan Ahead
And it can easily be achieved if the supermarkets agree to work in conjunction with Plan Ahead

The journey At the shop
Plan Ahead is an application which will help John to shop efficiently by buying only what he needs and also allows him to plan his meals for the week.
Flyers will be available in supermarkets
At home
When John shopped before meal planning, he never had a list and use to buy food without thinking about what meals he will be cooking and threw away a lot of food because it went out of date.
John not being great at cooking, he doesn’t always know which flavours match and therefore wastes food as it expires before he has had a chance to use it.

he presses the ‘Cook’ button and the stock list is updated
