Here is my powerpoint presentation for my prototype product design project.

Here is my maquette for one of my designs.

Street furnishings. I believe that all of these products placed in the public domain; the streets, walkways and outside shops, resemble the fact that even when costs are needed to be kept low, form can still follow function, for example the bike stands are a simple rod of metal attached to the ground at both ends, this is a very simple, meaning they are not aesthetically unappealing, and (I imagine) low cost too, whilst maintaining the function of the product. This is similar to the bus stop seat, although it is not exactly comfortable, it still fits it's purpose whilst being painted bright red so you can see the bus stop from a distance making it (in my opinion) appealing to the eye.

Here is an armchair that I found in John Lewis, it is made from leather and I found it very comfortable to sit in (; I liked this chair due to the fact that it is nicely styled whilst being fit for comfort, it's form follows it's function.

Here is mine and John's Powerpoint, i am aware there are no pictures, but I intend to take pictures of my work in order to add them in.

For my primary research, I travelled to Bluewater to take pictures of products from a New York Loft Style theme.

From The Concise Oxford Dictionary (Ninth Edition)

I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of Starlinggrad at the Miskin Theatre on Thursday, and I applaud the cast who took part in making the show. Although I enjoyed the play, I had a little trouble grasping the storyline behind it as there were many different stories being portrayed throughout the play, this meant that I did not fully understand the messages that each story was trying to perceive, this was the only criticism I had on the play, but it did make a difference to my overall enjoyment of the play. The acting in the play was superb and I believe that it was, for the most part, faultless. The movements and choreography of each scene was masterfully done and lots of acting techniques were used very effectively and efficiently. The gangster's boss constantly wanting to play cards shows to me that he has an obsessive attitude and is determined to win, even through constantly failing, this foreshadows the ever going urge of the Germans to win and conquer Russia. In conclusion, I believe that the play was a huge success and, if the storyline was made clearer, could be a show I would pay to see.

Another example that contradicts form following function is the old Nokia phones. These phones do not look very good compared to the newer and more modern phones, however, it is acknowledged widely that they work well and do not break easily.
