www.bournemouth.ac.uk/industrial-design<br />
The BU <strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Design</strong>er is an<br />
engineer with an aesthetic sensibility,<br />
a designer who creates the forms for<br />
manufacturing through which we stage<br />
tomorrow’s society.<br />

Course<br />
Co-ordinator<br />
These are graduates whose art form is technology<br />
made to serve humanity. The final year design project<br />
provides the opportunity to show how imagination<br />
can stimulate markets as much as satisfy them. The<br />
graduates emerge as a joint effort at shaping - for<br />
as much as we shape the student, they also have a<br />
hand in shaping us too. Their effort has contributed in<br />
establishing the BA (Hons) <strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Design</strong> course as<br />
a force for the future.<br />

Landmark for<br />
Bournemouth beach<br />
A gateway created to engage users and clear their mind of<br />
everyday stresses, so they can use and appreciate the beach<br />
as a place for taking time out.<br />
As well as tourism, the beach is a place of romance. The<br />
project recognises a current trend: Facebook official - the<br />
ultimate definition of a college relationship - when one’s<br />
Facebook profile says ‘ in a relationship’ (Urban Dictionary).<br />

U-Lounge<br />
Lounge chairs and seating alike can often overlook the user’s<br />
needs, and even desires, as regards to seating positions.<br />

Freedom and personality have been forged into an organic<br />
arrangement of style and form, which offers an open<br />
discovery to personal comfort.<br />
While playing host to the more unconventional aspects of<br />
seating positions, this lounger makes the unconventional<br />
seem less so.<br />

Carriage Hotel<br />
Transforming the way that long distance travel is viewed and<br />
experienced, the Carriage Hotel will be aimed at families/<br />
couples and long distance travellers.<br />
It creates a calming interior with a different way of viewing<br />
your surroundings by using the flow of power to demonstrate<br />
how and where it is being used. The Carriage Hotel uses an<br />
existing space to create a relaxing spacious area to sleep and<br />
enjoy the passing landscape without feeling cramped into a<br />
small area.<br />

Libero<br />
The Libero is a mode of transport designed for people with<br />
paraplegia: where a person has no function in their legs but<br />
has full use of their upper body.<br />

The vehicle is designed for flexibility and freedom, allowing<br />
the user to make longer journeys easily and independently.<br />
It is aimed not to be categorised as a disabled vehicle and<br />
due to its function paraplegic people will no longer struggle<br />
when entering and exiting.<br />

Interactive classical<br />
music station<br />
My project is a specialist audio station specifically for<br />
classical music, fully immersing the user into the atmosphere<br />
of conducting an orchestra. The aesthetic follows market<br />
aspirations and styling associated with the genre of<br />
classical music.<br />
Interaction is in the form of a conductor’s baton. The four<br />
speakers each represent one of the four instrumental groups<br />
within an orchestra and are designed to be manoeuvred<br />
around the user’s environment in the same way a conductor<br />
would determine an orchestral layout.<br />

Bicycle trailer<br />
This product was designed to give cyclists the option of an<br />
overnight stay without having to carry and pitch a tent, or<br />
having to construct their route via hotels.<br />

The product was designed to combine the ease and comfort<br />
of a hotel, with the portability of a tent. It was designed to<br />
keep hindrance of the cycling action to a minimum. The form<br />
is designed looking at how different mediums affect different<br />
forms in nature.<br />

Aircraft seating<br />
environment<br />
Commercial aircraft interiors have maintained a similar format<br />
for decades. This project set out to explore the possibilities.<br />
My design focuses around the user experience; by enabling<br />
the seats to rotate, personal space and sociability is<br />
customisable to every passenger. The fixed shell seat creates<br />
an elegant form whilst reducing weight. A particular focus<br />
was to encompass the journey as a whole. Ambient lighting<br />
and changing colours were researched to give the passenger a<br />
truly immersive and comfortable journey.<br />

Calla Lily Rocker<br />
Many new parents struggle with the problem of getting their<br />
child to settle into a comfortable night’s sleep. The Calla Lily<br />
Rocker makes the transition from their pre-bedtime routine<br />
to sleeping as smooth as possible by integrating a nursing<br />
chair with a cot.<br />
The rocking motion combined with the residual heat and<br />
smells from the mother provides a constant environment and<br />
familiarity that persuades the child to trust the cot and gives<br />
the mother a memento of their bond together.<br />

Fair Aid Shelter<br />
The ‘Fair Aid Shelter’ is designed to offer services to those<br />
who would otherwise be sleeping rough. Making use of<br />
disused underground carriages, it aims to bring life back to<br />
people and objects.<br />
The simplicity reflects the user; they need to have their basic<br />
needs fulfilled. In design, it aims to break away from many<br />
of the underlying issues why people don’t use the shelters<br />
currently available. It is about rebirth and opportunities for<br />
forgotten and unwanted items.<br />

Juicy Blocks<br />
The aim of my project was to design a range of packaging<br />
which could be used to create something else. With 15<br />
million plastic bottles thrown away each day in the UK,<br />
I wanted to do something that could combat this.<br />

by creating other objects using the empty juice and<br />
water bottles.<br />

colours and forms.<br />

Aura: Portable illuminator<br />
The idea behind Aura was to look at current torches and<br />
portable lighting equipment and see what could be improved.<br />
Aura combines the practicality of a torch and also<br />
incorporates an ambient lighting feature which provides a<br />
welcoming atmospheric light, allowing the user to feel secure<br />
enough to socialise at night as if they were in the comfort of<br />
their own home.<br />
Aura is an extremely versatile and practical product which<br />
has been designed with organic form to resemble nature.<br />

Girlfriend Composter<br />
<strong>Design</strong>ing and creating enables us to engage in activity that<br />
fundamentally shapes our world, influencing the processes<br />
of change for our future. I am conscious that we seem to<br />
be confined by boundaries, because we only see the<br />
small vision.<br />
Pushing these boundaries enables big visions such as the<br />
Girlfriend Composter to be birthed. Predecessors influence<br />
us, not that we should resemble them, we continue the<br />
engagement by developing our own revolution of skills to<br />
produce some of world’s greatest products.<br />

YourSpace<br />
YourSpace is a workspace designed for students and graduates<br />
in creative industries. The driving force behind the design<br />
was to create an interesting and unique form which surpasses<br />
existing products within the same budget range. The outcome<br />
solves limiting factors such as cost and space that often result<br />
in uninspiring, low quality desks for this market.<br />
The modular system has three stages, allowing the user to<br />
select the size of the overall workspace. Moving between<br />
stages is simple and efficient.<br />

This project aims to create an eating experience that better<br />
reflects modern gastronomy, something that enhances<br />
the diners’ experience of eating their food. Creating an<br />
experience that is as important to the overall enjoyment<br />
of dining as the food itself. The user is made more aware<br />
of the food they are eating, emphasising colour, smell and<br />
temperature in a way that traditional plates and<br />
bowls cannot.<br />

Youth Pavilion - Millennium<br />
Park, Flitwick<br />
A unique non-regulated public space designed to bring<br />
together a separating community away from current social<br />
networking activities. Existentially inspired; the Pavilion offers<br />
alternative methods of seating & reflective surface techniques<br />
built to enhance the user’s creative mind – a key requirement<br />
for development and growth of the UK economy. The well-lit<br />
secure environment provides opportunities to interact faceto-face<br />
with other users, alongside its linear exterior form<br />
contrasting a sinuously built interior; reflecting the Pavilion’s<br />
endeavours of creating an astounding atmosphere within.<br />

Velocity (VLCT)<br />
Velocity (VLCT) is a sled that aims to break the general<br />
impression that sledding is merely for youngsters. It<br />
demonstrates an exciting organic streamline appearance,<br />
inspired by automotive and birdlike features, representing<br />
speed and gracefulness. Applying familiar technologies,<br />
as seen in skis and snowboards, it offers a new range of<br />
manoeuvres and experiences to attract the adult market.<br />
Ultimately, Velocity sleds attempt to inspire a new type of<br />
competitive winter sport, as exhilarating to observe as<br />
to perform.<br />

Merlin 75<br />
This is the first British sports car designed to celebrate the<br />

I have created a car that represents the style, character &<br />
essence of the famous aircraft, breaking down the Spitfire<br />
by analysing key design features, characteristics and pilot<br />
descriptions, and introducing a new driving experience that<br />
represents what it felt like to fly a Spitfire.<br />

London transport system<br />
This project, in essence, was to create a new form of public<br />
transport for London. The core philosophy of the project was to<br />
provoke cultural change in order to solve serious infrastructural<br />
issues in London.<br />
Inspiration for aesthetics and feel came from air, or more<br />
specifically wind, something that has shaped the world we<br />
live in, but also something that if harnessed, can allow us to<br />
re-think the man-made world. In this case… How could<br />
transport be?<br />

The London Big Wheel<br />
The London Big Wheel is an exciting new concept that aims<br />
to bring the thrill of an Asian Tuk-Tuk onto the streets of<br />
London. It allows tourists to experience the city between<br />
the sights and to discover what it really means to travel<br />
through London.<br />
The Big Wheel promotes a real synergy between the<br />
technologically advanced leaning system used for carving<br />
through the streets, and the iconic styling typical of the<br />
London transport network.<br />

Sue was designed to address usability and desirability issues<br />
in current mainstream sewing machines. It aims to attract<br />

Current machines are simply shells for a mechanical device.<br />
Sue was designed to counter this and be entirely user centred,<br />
to heighten the usability and user experience.<br />
