I will communicate through form, surface finishes, sounds, lighting and balance with each of these elements offering design opportunities. In this project I will develop an understanding of how to communicate clearly and poetically through these qualities to create a consistent, deliberate and detailed design language. I will analyse the existing markets to isolate issues and opportunities which will form the basis of your design response. This project will allow me to create diverse yet highly resolved experiments. These experiments will include form language, surface/material and interface. This process will conclude with a product which will clearly exhibit (to potential employers specifically) your capabilities and personal style.
A variety of precedents:
I found that I really liked designing and making kinetic interactive products, ones that can stand on their own and be easily played with with out instructions.
The first precedent I came across was Kinetic Creatures
I really liked the interactive qualities that these toys had the way the user had to make the toy to use it and could then experience how it worked, it is striped down to its essential components, one of the visual aspects is to see how it works.
I then looked at Theo Jansen Strandbeest
Leonado Da Vinci Flying Machine
Theo Jansen Shapeways 3D printed model
Mine Kafon
wind knitting factory
"'Wind Knitting Factory' is a wind-powered knitting machine. The blades embrace more than a meter in diameter, and the wind caught by them powers the machine. In this way it is possible to knit a long scarf. When it is windy the machine knits fast and with less wind, the machine knits slowly. Occasionally the knitwear gets 'harvested' and transformed into scarves. Every scarf gets a label that tells you the date and time on which the wind made it. This mobile wind factory illustrates a production process and it visualises what you can produce with the present urban wind."
