Time for Yourself: Addressing Anxiety

My studio project for semester 2 2013 was “Time For Yourself”. The direction I chose in this was to look at how to bring people who put so much weight in the future or what might happen that they lose track of the day-to-day. The project ended up being much more conceptual than intended, though personally I am quite pleased with the poetic and subtle aspects of the final that I presented (although my blind assessor, an architect, did not ‘get it’!)

Tech Semester 2, 2013: Goldberg Machine

Although not my best work (quite rushed, I didn’t plan properly for this one, I admit), I had to make a prototype of and then 3D CAD a concept of a 500 x 500 x whatever height mm Rube Goldberg counterpart of a class-length consistently functioning machine, passing a golf ball from one end to the other.

Bothered By Discomfort: Punk & Riot Grrrl

Bothered by Discomfort is a theory elective unlike any other. The whole point it to reach into your inner pet peeves and voice them, using design as a platform for critique and rebellion.

My focus for the class was the implications and causation of the movements “Punk” and “Riot Grrrl” in the context of modern society.
My final outcomes (a scrapbook journal, a poster set, a publication) I feel all reflected these themes and understanding of them to the best of my abilities.

Timor Leste: Origin Energy Solar Proposal

As an assignment for my ‘The Other 90%” class, in groups we had to work out a possible strategy to implement a product in East Timor to create economic benefit for all parties involved.

Given the scenario of Alternative Energy, my group chose an Australian ‘Best Practice’ energy provider and set about writing a report/presentation to justify and plan the hypothetical scenario out, using the tools of the Industrial Design and Marketing trades.

I will attach a copy of the report when I figure out the most efficient way of hosting the (rather large) pdf.

Origin logo and branding is in copyright respective to them, we are not representing the company or claiming to speak on their behalf, as this strategy themed assignment is entirely hypothetical and in no relation to Origin as a company.

I’d like to thank my colleagues Mark and Audrey on their research and input. All of the graphics that aren’t specified copyright are created and therefore copyright under myself of my colleagues.

A good friend of mine asked me to do a high quality render of a logo from one of his favorite games of all time: Timesplitters.

The logo is from a level named ‘Spaceways’.

Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, combined 2 hours work.
