1 Learning Pool - 1 Week (Group) Design Brief Create a streamlined on-boarding solution for the hospitality industry that increases employee retention as well as making it easy for both managers and employee to monitor and manage shifts

Research Selling Point In the research we foun d the areas we wanted to add within our app these included a quick quiz fo r the on-board and training, a leader board to get employees excited abou t working and a rota so employees can easily see their schedule.

Development

Initial --> Concep t Within the grou p I developed th e rota viewer for b oth the manage r and the employ ee.

Through my id eas a sleek an d easy to use sy stem was mad e with simple tou ch controls and swipes.

Final Product Product Use In order to make a high fidelity model we used Figma. This allowed me to make a full accurate model of the rota and implement the swipe and touch controls.

This created a working model for a presentation to the client.

2 Design Inovation Plastic - 4 Weeks Design Brief Design a product that will make bath time more fun and safer for young parents and their children.

Research

Mood Board Before starting designing I collated a mood board of products with similar style and colours.

User Profile

was new e s o h c I a erson en. This is The user p r d il h c g n you design w e parents of n e t a incorpor and the m so I could e h t e ic oth ent that will b duct. o r p e h t e s u children to d nscious an o c o c e e b They would s like IKEA and John ce shop at pla Lewis.

I used these to give a direction to the style and aesthetic of modern children’s products.

Development

Ideation Through my ideation I created the design for the water wheel. The product would turn the kinetic power of water into electricity to power the thermometer. However as development went on it no longer hung by the tap but stuck to the bath.

Modelling In-Context Model In order to have a bet ter idea of size 1:1 scale models were made in order to check dimensio ns against the setting.

I took these models to some actual baths to see what it w ould look like in context with both size and aesthetics.

Technical

Manufacture Detail The final parts were designe d for injection moulding with rib s, bosses, lips and grooves.

The lip and grooves allow th e parts to easily fit together. Th e ribs add support to the large r sections of the part. The bosse s allow standard components to join parts together.

Design Brief Design a bottle for Ribena that promotes the world cup as well as elevating Ribenas core values. This bottle must appeal to both adults and children.

Research World Cup 2022 The World Cup is watched by billions of people all over the globe. This huge viewer base is easily marketed to as 83% of viewers would consider buying something that they had seen advertised at the world cup.

Soft Drinks Market The soft drinks market is a huge market valued at 434.50 Billio n USD in 2022.

With this large of an industry there is a huge amount of waste that comes out of it with Billions of bottles a year not being recycle d and sent to a land fill.

Development

Concept --> Final Design Each initial concept captured both Ribena in a different way.

The design I chose to finalise is the bottle that would stand out the most on a shelf of other soft drinks by being a unique shape.

After the CAD model was finalised, I printed the bottle on an FDM 3D printer. I pr inted out the label on acetat e and wrapped it around the bo ttle.

This model is a low fid elity model as the small de tails around the base are no t as accurate as they should look.

Manufacturing Labelling The new labels have an overall simpler style with simple vector graphics in line with their current marketing. This allows the label to be easily transfered to the other flavours.

Manufacturing w The bottle will be made via blo ass moulding. This is done with a m m manufactured PET preform fro as logoplaste. These are the same is the current Ribena preform that made of 100% recycled plastic. to The label will be shrink wrapped re the bottle to only the top sphe in line with the current bottles.

4 Alpkit- 1 Week (Group) Overall 1st Place Design Brief Redesign the Presta 25 rucksack to have a lower carbon footprint while increasing the functionality.

Research Common Issues some primary id d e w g in n ig es d rt To sta bag in store and e th g in st te f o h rc a rese outside. the problems we We then compared d found that n a s ew vi re h it w d notice opping up. cr e er w s re tu a fe r ila sim views to improve We then used these re the overall design.

I find it a bit short in the back and so not hugely comfortable for me - I am just over 6ft.

the hip straps aren't the most supportive, not the comfiest to wear if the bag is heavily loaded.

it’s missing a key feature, namely no secure clip on outside of pack rear pocket

LCA and Tear-down In order to measu re the difference in carbon dioxide produced we used a life cycle analysis in order to get a ro ugh number.

We did this by taking the bag apart and weighing each pa rt. This allowed us to put it into a spreadshee t that calculated th e carbon emitted by the fa brication of each part.

Development

Our Changes From the user research and LCA we fou nd what we wanted to change. This included reducing the number of materials used and to stop using the car bon heavy materials to save on cost and reduce the carbon footprint of the bag.

We also redesigned the front of the ba g to fix the issues brought to us by the reviews.

Final Product

712g

of CO 2 equivalent saved on each bag

60g

lighter than original

Materials In order to both reduce the weight of the bag and the carbon dioxide produced during manufacture, new materials were chosen.

Originally Nylon 140D twill spandex stretch y mesh was used for the front pocket. Not only is this material hea vy but also very carbon intensive and expensive.

By changing this material to polyester me sh net we saved a large portion of carbon per bag. The overall cha nge in carbon worked out to an 8% decrease from the original amou nt.

5 Clockwork Toy - 4 Weeks Design Brief Design a clockwork toy inspired by DUPLO for a young child of 3-5 that develops their curiosity for space while also giving a good play experience with parents.

This motor spins aft er being wound up for a short amount of time. This works b y a small coil of wire and holdin g energy and then being relea sed.
