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.

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
