100 Alternate Designs
June-September 2022
Individual project
Part of the 100 Day Project Scotland 2022
Brief: Do something creative every day for 100 days.
For my second participation in the 100 Day Project Scotland, I felt more confident as I now knew how it would feel continuing this kind of project for so long, so I wanted to be a bit more ambitious with my brief. I also thought this would be a great opportunity to conduct a more product design related project, whilst keeping in mind the limits of the daily time frame, and the endurance needed to last the full 100 days.
As a design student, I've always struggled to take inspiration from others' work without feeling like I was copying them. This is strange however, as I've always enjoyed looking at the things around me, how they looked and how they were made. So I thought I could take this project as an opportunity to reconcile these two things. Additionally, I thought it could be a great opportunity to do a lot of CAD work, something which I really enjoy and at the time of this project felt I needed more experience in.
So each day, I picked an existing design I found inspiring. This could be an iconic piece of furniture, an object from everyday life, take inspiration from fashion, architecture, etc. I then considered how its design could be transformed to fit a different context, redesigning it as a piece of furniture, lighting, or homeware, and modeling and rendering it in Blender.
