UWE Product Design Graduation Catalogue 2015
WELCOME Welcome to this celebration of the achievements of the UWE Product Design graduates of 2015. Their fantastic projects showcase how design can be used to solve real problems in the real world and demonstrate excellence in research, styling, technology and human-centred design. This year, UWE Product Design has built greater connections with industry, with two highly successful live projects, several graduate consultancy projects and two student projects were taken to market. We have also grown as a community, with the establishment of a Product Design Society. We thank all of the students and staff for their passion, dedication and hard work. Congratulations to our graduating students, we hope you enjoy their work.

CREATIVE PRODUCT DESIGN (BSC) Creative Product Design graduates are highly skilled creative problem solvers with an empathetic understanding of people. Creative Product Design instils graduates with the confidence & ability to take risks, challenge conventional thinking and design products, services and user experiences which surprise and delight. At the heart of Creative Product Design is studio-based teaching, consisting of small friendly student groups and close contact to tutors, who all have expert experience working as professional designers. Through real world design projects, students develop an empathetic, intuitive understanding of people, tactile ergonomics, creativity and materials, as well as advanced skills in concept sketching & semantic form, model making and CAD. Graduates of Creative Product Design have strong transferable skills, allowing them to have successful careers in Product Design and across the creative industries, including; service design, graphic design, brand consultancy, retail design, design research, marketing and packaging design. The diversity of skills and experience gained make them highly employable by industry as designers and set to succeed in their own business ventures.

PRODUCT DESIGN TECHNOLOGY (BSC) Product Design Technology graduates use both technical and creative skills to turn their concepts into innovative products. Our Product Design Technology degree combines Product Design and Design Engineering. The blend of creativity and practicality developed on this course gives graduates the rare and highly valued skills to create original and exciting concepts and to transform them in to real, working, commercially viable products. Product Design Technology projects all start with real world problems, understanding people and their needs. Innovative solutions are developed through concept sketching, making working prototypes, engineering analysis, CAD, design for manufacture and beyond. Graduates of UWE Product Design are confident communicators and innovative designers, who are able to use their understanding of technology, sustainability, and materials to solve human-centred design problems. The breadth and depth of this course gives them the tools to succeed in industry or their own business venture. Product Design Technology is accredited by the Institute of Engineering Designers.

ZODIAC SEATS UK - STUDIO LIVE PROJECT January 2015 For three solid weeks this January, the whole of the final year immersed themselves in the Studio 3 Live Project. In keeping with the product design courses’ tradition of high quality external live projects, and following on from a very successful project with Jaguar Land Rover last year, the project this year was run in conjunction with Zodiac Seats UK Ltd (ZSUK) – a division of Zodiac Aerospace. The trade journal Aircraft Interiors International takes up the story: “The brief given to the students was to ‘design an aircraft cabin interior seating environment, for use primarily by professionals on long-haul flights, which balances the needs of both the end user (passenger) and the airline (buyer).’ The full brief was designed to provide a level of freedom that would allow genuinely new ideas, but also ensure an undertone of realism to steer the students
towards a concept that may actually be possible to realize. To ensure that all creative and technical aspects were considered, all teams had a mixture of both creative product and product design technology students.” This was a challenging brief with tight physical constraints as well as a long list of passenger and client needs to be met. A full scale model of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner passenger cabin was built in the studio to enable to students to fully appreciate the environment they were designing for. Three weeks later all the groups presented their projects to ZSUK back at their Cwmbran headquarters. The winning group was invited attend to the Hamburg Aircraft Interiors Expo in April, where they showcased their project to a panel of senior executives including the European CEO.
Sleeping on the job?
ZSUK were very impressed with the quality of the work produced and keen to collaborate again on future projects:
“An amazing example of out of the box thinking applied to an everyday problem which the whole interiors industry strives to solve… A incredible amount of work - within an equally incredibly short timescale” - Paul Strothers, Zodiac Seats UK CEO “The whole process was a great experience for me and the Zodiac team, it was a pleasure working with the students and lecturers at UWE. I think Zodiac got the design brief just right and the students did an incredible job. I was particularly pleased to hear the amazing feedback from the Hamburg show, the students did a very impressive and professional job.” - Paul Morgan, Deputy Chief Design Engineer, Advanced Concept Engineering “Everyone at Zodiac who has seen the UWE students work has been astonished by the depth of understanding shown into the trends of the high end aircraft interiors market and the subtleties of the long haul travellers’ user experience. The value this project has given us in terms of potential intellectual property and exposure to some very impressive young design talent is beyond expectation.” - Rob Gow, Senior Design Engineer, Advanced Concept Engineering
WITH THANKS The students would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at UWE for all their help and support throughout our time at university. We’re grateful for having had the opportunity to participate in some fantastic live projects with external companies such as Jaguar, Omlet and Zodiac Aerospace.
