Computer Mouse Project

Some final designs of the digital design project I have been undertaking over the past 10 weeks. The stylised computer mouse has finally been designed and this image shows a few of the renderings I produced. I will upload some further images of the designs onto my flickr account in due course.

3D Modelling

A selection of shots from my project on designing a ergonomic computer mouse. The idea behind the design was for it to be a mouse that's design was completely based around being as comfortable for the user as possible. I will upload some more shots of the designs on my flickr page when developed further.

Face It!

The AGV helmet that Valentino Rossi used in the 2008 Italian GP race in Mugello was destined to be a popular replica design from when it was unveiled. The imagery used on the helmet was inspired by Edvard Munch's painting 'The Scream', and was also described by Rossi himself as the expression on his face as he applies the brakes at the end of Mugello's extremely long start/finish straight. Not only can you purchase a replica of the helmet that Rossi used, but you can also see a version of you own face on a helmet in similar style, checkout other people's attempts and see the whole collection of past Rossi helmet designs on this website Valentino's Face

Hand Shoe Mouse by Hippus

This is a product that typifies a use of complete ergonomic consideration in its design. Hippus is a company extremely concerned with innovative design and creating ergonomically focused products. The Hand Shoe Mouse is a product of theirs that shows this. It has been specifically designed to fit the users hand in the most comfortably possible way, and has been manufactured for either left or right handed people. Most computer mice are symmetrical, but this is not always the most comfortable form of use. Hippus have done extensive research into the health issues involved in using more traditional products and have designed a product that can eradicate these.

Conceptual Drawings - Family Orientated Kitchen Utensil

This was work I produced for a first year project in which I had to propose an incremental re-design for an existing product on the market. The product I eventually designed was a family orientated potato ricer that is aimed for the use of children between the ages of 5 and 10 to use with their parents. I came up with the idea as a response to the market research and analysis I had studied about the market trends and also the growing public awareness of healthy eating and also healthy eating in school. In terms of the design considerations that were made, I chose to use images of frogs and aliens as inspiration for the design as can be seen from the conceptual drawings. The idea of the project was to make the product appealing to my chosen target audience. Also to use design as a way of involving children in the kitchen and creating an interest that reflects various healthy eating campaigns including those undertaken by TV chef Jamie Oliver.
