Individual Project

Style Third angle projection, sectional view of a bracket for the iRide system, solid modelled in SolidEdge. 

First sketches of the bracket and double cam for the iRide working prototype.

Technical Drawing

Citrus Juicer designed with the aesthetic of Braun and the Bauhaus era.

It is designed to be used by the elderly so has a large mechanical advantage.

Parts were individually modelled in SolidEdge and tested using Visual Nastran 4D.

Tesselating packaging aims to reduce the wasted space within the packaging of Ariel Liquitabs. Packaging uses over 40% more space than current packaging. By reducing wasted space it also reduces the number of deliveries required so creating a smaller carbon footprint and reducing

global warming. Explanation of the decreased environmental impact of tesselating packaging.

Experiments with the pyramid shape liquitab and ‘notch brittle’ removable pegs from the packaging.

Photographs of the natural resonations of water, without a camera. – Photo paper placed in a tray of water, on a speaker in a dark room. A sound generator was then used to vibrate the water, and a flash gun to expose the paper. Photoshop was then used to colourise.

A coffee table that is full of water. The lights underneath can be used to create a desired mood.

ParkPod is an introspective space for solitary salvation or a shelter from the elements for familes.

Remember the last time you were sat in the park on a beautiful sunny day, when suddenly some freak weather came in and you got soaked, or you just

spent too long lying on the beach, and fried?

The ParkPod is a domed shelter, not only for protection from the elements, but also for amusement.
