This is my presentation of my Duck & Dive product. 

This is my 'found object' it is a lamp shade made out of AA road maps and kebab sticks to hold it in place

Here are some photos of when me and Owen went to dartford and collected an took photos of furniture ideas to give us inspiration for our design ideas. Here are some photos of sofas, tables, chairs, cabinets and shelves from numerous different shops.

This is mine and Owens new and improved final design of the Tetris DIY shelving ‘Do It Your-SHELF’. In this new design it shows the Lego like lock in system at the top of each Tetris piece and at the bottom too which allows easy lock in method and not to complicated, but strong enough to hold each piece into place so the shelf cant fall and break. It also shows the various colour options that can be used. The materials that we are going to use for this final design are recycled materials which makes this furniture piece ECO-friendly and lightweight too, they will they be dye coloured to get the various colours. The target market for our shelf will be aimed at children and teens as it is a fun and game like furniture which children can enjoy re-arranging there shelves all the time with assistance of their parents, it is bright, light and fun, based on the Tetris game. We also designed a black and white shelf allowing older people to enjoy our Tetris shelving with a more sophisticated design.

Here are the screenshots of mine and Lewys' presentations of the brief Interior Architecture, it informs you of our final design and research and information on how we came to our final adjoining room designs.

This is in the style of mine and Lewys's mood boards for our new interior architecture project which consist of us designing and making two adjoining rooms from a building plan we was given, an then designing it in a style of the four movements we was given, which were (from top to bottom) English gardens, Asian, New York and finally Swedish. We then had to look the design deeper into the detail of each movement for example the Swedish design, this consisted more of the bright neutral colouring, and geometric flat pack designs. It is very minimalistic and has a very basic simple design. We then did this for all four movements and made a collage / mood board for them so that once chosen our final movement we could use it to inspire us on our final design.

 I believe the tour was very useful and helped me to understand more about the techniques of origami, and what materials are best to be used for origami and got more into the history of Origami. It also helped me to brain storm some ideas for my final piece.

 I really like this street furniture cause it adds a bit of futuristic comfort to everyday street objects and allows the public to sit down wherever now as these chairs can be placed and adapted to any object.

 I think this is a really clever and smart idea because it gets people interested in the advertising and involved in what it is about. It also looks really good cause it is very subtle and each advertising board has its own purposes, such as one is a bench, one protects you from the rain like an umbrella, and the last one is like a slope on the stairs.

 I believe this was a good idea as it prevented bad smells on the streets and allowed workers to know where the problem was due to the numbers on the drain covers. Also I believe it makes the streets look better with a bit of a historic touch to them.
