The students of the undergraduate industrial design program at UNSW held a final exhibition of their work on wednesday the 25th of Nov 2009. I was there for about 2 hours - it was great! Of course I won't have time to write about each and every project that was displayed, so I'll just pick a few that intruiged me the most.
Ok, I'm home sick today. For some reason my nagging cough wouldn't go away and I'm also sniffling like hell. Tried sleeping but didn't really make it.
So i thought I might just put this youtube video up:-
Yes that's me in 2007 or so when I threw myself in the deep end of design had my own little company. We did a heap of fibreglass mouldings for car audio purposes, and this was the flagship product. I recall about 16 different moulds for 9 makes of cars. It didn't earn me millions but it was my baby and provided for me for about 2 years. Not sure where I heard this, but the best compliment to a design would be imitation. Yep I've seen copies of my products on eBay - exact same thing. So I must say, I'm quite satisfied. Now my little company is gone, sold to a former employee. He now runs it from his garage:)

You gotta be joking right? But heaps of people have done it though, on youtube. Quite basic and cumbersome to reload the frame with a plastic sheet but still viable for one-offs. Have a look at this:-
So I thought we might try to make something a bit more permanent and resuable. I invited Justin Alfred for this little garage project. Let's take a walk thought the whole thing.
