Task 5: Video Reflections - Designing Dream Machines

Designing Dream Machines is a documentary where it follows the life of Richard Seymour and Dick Powel for just under a year. It highlights many things from the initial brainstorming passing through to the prototyping of a product and eventually the presentation of it.

Its something different that you see normally especially shows that things in the real world is totally different to what we have been doing in class so far and i think i like the way its heading. A lot of the mental thoughts like frustration and time management is really whats its like and i know for a fact that its true. I really do like how it reflects how the course is going and trying to motivate us for the long run.

Project 3: Upcycling Unwanteds Rationale




The name of my upcycled product is Frammock, its a product where anyone can use and use it well.

The material i have chosen is extension cables that have died and have no use no more. There is so much in the world where it just gets thrown out. Think about it!

I've also chosen to use weaves and knots so that no further ecological impacts will be caused from manufacture. Its also practical and easy to move to wherever u want it to be.
