Project 2: Postal Presents Rationale



Project 2 was a different but interesting one. I tried to design something that could be multifunctional but also has a main purpose. My design's main purpose is to be a Cookbook Holder with an additional stand. It covers the book as oil or other ingredients may ruin the book. I chose a transparent colour for the shield and stand but a frosted look for the base so it would not look out of place in the kitchen or whereever it may be stored.
The acrylic was my choice because of its sturdiness and also because it is washable.

Task 5: Video Reflections - Ross Lovegrove

The Love of form...

Ross Lovegrove shares his experience and knowledge where his design are only interested in the organic forms. His philosophy of 'fat-free' design, has been integrated with his designs such as the Ty Nant bottle, where it is no commonly known drink bottle but something unique and interesting with the whole bottle having an organic form.

Ross gives his insight towards the future of design, where unique designs such as the section where he redefines cars are all wrong, where he can combine greenhousing and also innovation inside the cars. As students ourselves, we wonder how are we going to pass the next task but the real question is how are we going to redevelop the ever evolving world in the near future. Ross has given us the insight to this answer.
