“My heart belongs to the details. I actually always found them to be more important than the big picture. Nothing works without details. They are everything, the baseline of quality.”

Dieter Rams

INTRODUCTION Hello, I am Luke Collins. I am 20 years old and I am an emerging product designer, currently studying BA (Hons) Product Design, an accredited course with the Institution of Engineering Designers, at Solent University.

As a product design graduate, I can curate and communicate a range of creative solutions to solve an issue, using creative design thinking and appropriate 2D and 3D forms of communication. I am very passionate about design and welcome the challenge of creating innovative ideas and solutions that address real life problems. I am a confident and proficent user of technology and industry-standard software programs. I have experience in presenting designs solutions and work well both independently and within a team environment.

I am excited to take on the product designer role, where I will be able to push my abilities further. I am adaptable and always willing to learn from others in order to develop new relevant skills. Outside of design, I really enjoy scuba diving, and having recently completed my BSAC Ocean Diver training, I have been able to dive in the waters around the South coast of England and Malta. I also enjoy playing the bass guitar and model-making, so I have adapted a number of guitars in the workshop in my spare time.

This portfolio features the highlights of my major and favourite projects. This folder will evolve as my career grows, showing my capabilities, specialisation and development as a designer. Feel free to explore and contact me if you have any questions or are interested.

Thank you!

HP CAST

DESIGN FOR INDUSTRY

A portable projector system, solution for a brief by HP. Designed to present your idea, anytime, anywhere. Small enough to fit in a backpack and folds out to create a functional set up. The product is comprised of two miniature projectors and two collapsible projector screens that cooperate together to create a large, high definition image.

CAST The HP Cast.

A Portable Projector Unit that allows you to show off your work whenever, wherever. From videos to photos, masterpieces to concepts.

Summon upon a dual screen setup, connect your device of your choice to the Cast using wireless connection (via Bluetooth) or wi wired connection (HDMI or USB 3.0) and project two displays or sync the Cast to display one large display.

Or remove the Projectors (Eyes) and project your desired display onto a blank surface to the scale that suits You.

Created using Solidworks.

Use the Cast as your travelling workstation or presentation companion, as a result of it is travel-friendly size with a rechargable battery that rivals laptops.

Rendered in Visualise.

Edited using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

DANGLE BOB

DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE

A favourite and passion project of mine. A product designed with the aim of getting it into the Solent University’s student shop, called Reso. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the final stage of the project was cancelled and could not made to be commercial.

Dangle Bob is a plant holder that uses a weighted see-saw mechanism to allow the user to effortlessly water their plant, by bobbing the pod into the water bowl and then release it. The pod is raised up and lets excess water to drain, preventing overwatering.

Utilises a modernist aesthetic to allow it to blend in the average household.

AutoCAD was used to create 1:1 drawings of the product’s components in preparation for laser cutting prototypes out of MDF .

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN

FINAL MAJOR PROJECT

Conceptualising ideas using 2D communication for my professional project, which tackles climate change by using design behaviour change to encourage reduction of an individual’s lifestyle carbon footprint. This project is currently in-progress and I am yet to finalise my final design solution to my set brief.

Evaluating concepts using 4 Numerical Selections, including evaluation from my peers and myself, to select a range of concepts that I will be further exploring.

An example of the conceptualisation process.

TROPICAW HEADPHONES A tropical, parrot-based headphones designed to fit 95th percentile and 5th percentile users, by implementing adjustability into the head band and ear cups.

HUMAN FACTORS

NEO GAIA

Neo Gaia is self-sustaining supermarket, designed in the year 2080, where climate change and sustainability is a major issue. Made up of different sectors, with each different function: Farming, shopping and social. Inspired by utopian cities. I explored technology trends and made predictions of what the future could hold and make the product viable.

Solar-powered street lights, designed to light up the grounds of Neo-Gaia.

DESIGN FUTURES

BAMBENTO

MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABILITY

Exploring sustainability when comes to a kitchen / food based product. I used a materials software package, called CES, to find the best suitable materials for a lunch box and additional accessories, that allows it to be both functional and sustainable.

METTRICKS COFFEE MACHINE

A steam-punk styled siphon coffee maker that fronts the colour scheme and aesthetic provided by the coffee lounge, Mettricks.

DESIGN PROCESS

INTERACTIVE DISPLAY An introduction to freelancing product design.

I worked with a manager at a local wildlife centre, the graphic students and my product design course to create a range of interactive displays. These displays will encourage visitors, in particular, children, to learn about nature through gamification. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the project ended abruptly and only the base designs were made. The manufacture and graphic stage could not be continued.

I developed an interactive display that would allow visitors to complete puzzle by aligning the linked tiles, which they can find answers / clues for around the room.

HAWTHORNE WILDLIFE CENTRE

OVERBED TABLE

A-LEVEL PRODUCT DESIGN

The first major project where I was given full reign of and was allowed to design anything. I decided to design an Overbed table, as I was interested in furniture design and I wanted to give current overbed tables a more modern and appealling aesthetic. It was my first passion project and I wish I could have spent more time developing it.
