New Degree...New Blog?

Being an undergrad student seems like a long time ago now (...okay only a few months ago!), and so with the beginning of my postgraduate Master of Design-I feel its time for change.
Initially, I had considered a new blog-a new beginning, but I simply don't have the heart to get rid of 3 years worth of posts (all be it some of them awful!). So to a spring cleanout-I have got rid of some posts which weren't very relevant, and will continue to post, now as a postgraduate student.

So until my first 'proper' post as a postgrad student...

Check out my website! Brand new! Designed by myself, and made by Iain Fergus of DarkFlareDesign.

Degree Show 2010!

Details to follow....!

Explorational Drawings....

[Click on images to enlarge]

A few research drawings that are being developed into proper designs. I like to work by drawing whatever is in my head onto paper and then develop and refine onto possible design ideas. In previous years being restricted to a brief and theme didn't allow this freedom and I struggled. But being in 4th year is great! Self directed study!

I have made a decision that I will not be showing final design ideas and pieces until Degree Show-need to keep the surprise element! Development I will show, to give everyone an idea of what I'm about, but not to spoil the surprise! (and hopefully it'll be a good one!)

The Goldsmiths Company-Precious Metal Bursary Design Boards

[Click images to enlarge]

After a few failed attempts on Illustrator I hope these boards represent my design idea pretty well! Rhino has truly done me in-but the overall impression works so I can't complain too much! Following will be a few more of my inspiration drawings for my final year work.
1 piece down...lots more to go before May! And dissertation of course.....

Just like home...

My final year studio desk. I've popped up some images, got a wee pile of postits and its beginning to get a bit more homely! Though safe to say, I think the studio will end up as my 2nd home this year, especially after Christmas when degree show pressure takes it tole.

NB. This desk will never be this tidy...never ever again judging by previous desks...!

Dissertation Finding!

The Sketch Furniture series was developed by a company called Front in Sweden. A bit messy perhaps, but the process seems amazing, tactile and something if refined would be amazing for possible jewellery exploration. Similar to the haptics used by Anne Marie Shillito and the Tacitus Project at ECA(skecthing in a 3D space) but slightly different technology. Some might find it boring, but think of the possibilities of sketching your designs(or part designs), refining and rapid prototyping as a method of practice-much more exciting than Rhino3D!
