Clio Speaker Design a speaker that fits into the home. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Research I discovered by looking at existing speaker's on the market, that few felt artisanal and truly part of the home. This observation was mostly down to the materials used. Most had a matte black, plastic outer casing and a grill over the speaker. One of the few exceptions being Bang & Olufsen who exhibited timber. People often have pictures, art or even trinkets in their home. Therefore, I decided to have Pottery as the defining feature of the speaker. Development Initial ideas looked at having a physical barrier to prevent sound wave transmission. However, testing proved on this size, that there was little audible difference. Therefore, attention moved to incorporating electrical components to have a similar user interaction, but a greater effect on the volume. By having a channel running down the side, wires could connect to potentiometer at the top, to the circuitry in the base. Evaluation If I were to do the project differently, I would push the form to be more visually interesting. Design Tags: Industrial | CAD | Card and Foam Modelling Implement Clio's main feature revolves around Acoustic Lens Technology (created by Bang & Olufsen) which evenly distributes sound in all directions. The Lens is made from Pottery Clay because the material is dimensionally stable. This will perfectly reflect the sound, and is inkeeping with other pieces of art in the home. The Ash features add to the artisanal feel of the product, as well as flexing with the varying pressure caused by the movement of the speaker. The Volume Dial (at the top) is comfortable in the hand and represents the rim of a vase.

Design for Manufacture Using another team member’s Speaker design, look at every aspect in preparing the design for Mass Manufacture. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Planning Aspects required for inspection included Costings, Materials and Manufacturing Processes, as well as meeting Safety specifications. The team task was broken down into three main sections over nine weeks: getting to know the every member, their characteristics and choosing the Speaker Design; process and material selection; then documentation. My Role My role in the team was to produce the CAD files for Aesthetic and Technical Models. As the other team members carried out research in the different fields (processes, costings etc.) I worked with each of them to translate their findings into the design. During the file production, I had to make some of the key design decisions. Develop The main challenge was making the part have uniform thickness in preparation for Injection Moulding. This meant the Point was removed. As an added benefit, the change made the product safer. The design of the moulds and their movement meant features were added to indicate these considerations - such as the Parting Line. After another team member carried out ANSYS Simulations, I adapted the design to reduce internal stresses. These changes included adding a Rib down the back, and fillets along the edges. Finally, Ejector Pin Marks were added. Implement This same method of breaking down each part according to the Manufacturing Process was carried out on all the parts. Several iterations were carried out, especially when the Manufacturing Processes were changed midway through or feedback was given from Manufacturers. The result was a complete Assembly in SolidWorks. Evaluation The dynamic of the team was harmonious as we all wanted to work hard. If we found a loose end, we were eager to sort it out. The team included Industrial Designers and Product Design Engineers as well as consultations with Technicians. I often took the lead on meetings to keep discussions focused and confirm people's tasks. Overall, it was a successful project. Design Tags: Industrial | Mass Manufacture | CAD | Group Project

Merchandise Every year merchandise is designed to promote the new sub brand. Along with my colleague, we decided on a range of products including Pin Badges, Lanyards and Stickers. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Implement Once complete, designs were sent off to the relevant manufacturer and applicator, then delivered to be sold at our shows. Evaluation Each item looked professional and , with people impressed at the detail achieved. The notes section at the back meant students could write messages and well wishes for the future, further adding to the fun activities at the Final Showcase. Design Tags: Branding | Graphics | Merchandise Development Each item was pitched to the team and workshopped. I then collected this information and generated several variations on Adobe Illustrator. Lets focus in on the posters. Starting with Blue details on a White background, this would have the most basic elements from the brand implemented. Each stage then adds more elements from the brand, including the gradient then grid. Furthermore, actual dimensions were added to make them feel even more special.

Calmar The brief was set during a James Dyson Foundation Workshop, to design a product that relieved a certain target group in a large scale crisis. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Development Ideas varied from memory boxes to places of remembrance. However, the aim was to design an inexpensive, easily distributed product. My contribution to the project was to visualise people's ideas through sketching, for greater communication between the team members. Scent is very closely linked to memory. This reminded me of Fur Berries that would pop open and release fragrances. As a result, thoughts focused on using parent’s clothing that had been left behind to make a comforting product. The basis was to not cut up, sew or destroy the parent’s clothes in order to make something new. Research Due to the economic collapse in Venezuela, adults are fleeing the country in search of earning money. However, as of 20th February 2020, one million children were left behind with neighbours, extended family or by themselves (Phillips and Rangel, 2020). At this age, the separation can leave negative long lasting effects on a person’s mental health. During a workshop run by the James Dyson Foundation, the team wanted to find a way for the children to feel closer and connected with their parents. Implement Then Calmar was created. It is a long cushion with fastenings on either end. When a T-shirt is wrapped around the cushion to act as a casing, Calmar can fold over and fix to produce a comfortable pillow. Other team members carried out prototyping ready for presentation. The product won 2nd place in the workshop for considering the emotional needs of the children, and feasibility instead of trying to solve the entire crisis. Evaluation There was a energetic dynamic in the team because we all felt strongly about the cause and only had a few hours to concentrate one idea. The range of disciplines included socially aware designers to practical thinkers. We were successful because we listened and reached a middle ground. Phillips, T. and Rangel, C.

Final Year Book Using elements seen throughout the year, and some new surprises, design the book as a souvenir for the cohort and an aid for visitors to the University and Final Showcase. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Evaluation The book was well received, with people impressed at the detail achieved. The notes section at the back meant students could write messages and well wishes for the future, further adding to the fun activities at the Final Showcase. Design Tags: Branding | Graphics | Publication Implement Once complete, I was invited to see the book being printed. It was exciting to see the plates being made, then the pages being rapidly printed with each colour. Context Under the direction of the Publication Managers, I created a large portion of the graphics seen using Adobe Illustrator. I produced 17 iterations of the front cover before reaching our final choice, with tweaks to content, layout and gradient. Then, combined the graphics for the inside cover to provide an overview of the contents inside. For each module, a new asset was chosen and made reflecting the module's theme. For example, the Human Factors module was assigned hands due to the ergonomic and interaction knowledge gained from attending the class. In contrast to previous years, an exciting addition was highly detailed drawings of key elements relating to Brunel Design, printed onto semi-translucent paper, which was my responsibility.

Tierra Candles The brief set, by Oliver Bonas, is to use natural materials as inspiration for a range of candles. Looking for simplicity and earthy tones, the set was to help take a break and be present. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Project Overview One of the places that I feel closest to nature is in Italy. The warmth from the sun, landscape and colours felt perfect for the brief. After recalling familiar textures and materials, I used Adobe Photoshop to build up the colour blocks. Once completed, the names combined the pattern with calming scenes. The patterns provide a peaceful, connected, modern feel inspired by a place with a lot of history. If I were to do it again, I would look at developing the candle holder to add further texture and interest when the candle was lit. Design Tags: Concept | Packaging | CAD

Core Brand The brief was to devise a sub-brand for Made in Brunel 2022 that reflected our year group. It is core to how each final year defines itself from the rest and sets the tone for everything that follows. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Discover Together with my fellow Branding Manager, we ran Branding Workshops to better understand what the brand would represent. Analysing previous sub-brands meant we could see what worked and get a feel of what the team wanted to achieve and portray. Define After researching various name routes, we came across the term Blueprints. There were many interpretations of how Blueprints could represent our cohort. We also knew it had large amounts of potential as its distinctive elements make for a strong visual impact. The key meanings behind the brand were: Blueprints have moved with the times, as have we. Now technical drawings are produced on computers. Their quality and detail have not been lost in this transition, nor have our technical competencies or skills as Brunel Designers. Blueprints are mass-produced with standard symbols and structures, reflecting us as good communicators of ideas. They also represent the culmination of the process and hard work to reach final designs, so they reflect our own journeys and growth while studying at Brunel University London. Evaluation The evening was a great success with large volumes of positive feedback regarding the brand and room. It was exciting to see it come to reality and everyone enjoy their time. Design Tags: Branding | Graphics | Signmaking Implement Now the key elements had been decided, it was time to apply it to the Brand Launch. The team wanted to make an impact on the first in-person Launch since before the pandemic. This motivation meant creating an immersive Brand Room, including blue lighting, sociable areas and activities. My main contribution was designing the elements and carrying out the photography for the walk around installation. Using knowledge from my placement, I chose cap heights for easy reading. Context Made in Brunel is a student-led programme which gives an opportunity for final year students to showcase their talents before heading into industry. A team is selected each year to carry out tasks, in which I was appointed Brand Manager. Develop The central blue was chosen to match the original blueprints produced closely. Secondary colours were chosen to compliment the rich tone, and follow current trends in design. Core values were chosen by refining down keywords the team selected, which felt represented us. I then remembered how materials have different hatching patterns for cross-sections in technical drawings. Knowing this could be an excellent basis for future graphical elements, I suggested that the patterns should be paired with our values. To appreciate their complexity, other assets would be technical drawings of iconic designs and everyday objects.
