shows interactions with products to help communicate how people are anticipated to
interact with them; it also gives context and scale to the objects

engineering sketch.
this demonstrates an understanding of the manufacturing processes the product is to be made by and
an accurate representation of the inner workings of the design, including visual details.

biro.
this showcases my freehand digital drawing skills of a range of products of varying shapes and sizes; it
exhibits accurate proportions and utilises contour lines to reflect light and dark areas on the products

biro & marker.
this indicates rendering to describe manufactured material through light and shade on a product; the
employment of tonal values helps to express volume and depth within the objects.

 wall-hanging desk organiser
an organisation system tailored to fit into smaller study spaces and boost the productivity of remote
learning students or remote-working workers in lockdown

USP: its unique slot mechanism, which allows

for smooth movement of the attachable
baskets, and the personalisation feature of
the entire product - baskets can be placed
wherever the user desires

tracking trolley
a re-designed shopping trolley based off research into exisiting design issues regarding the product,
such as include theft, discomfort and storage issues.
Omniwheels allow for smooth
movement and are a more durable
choice of materials for wheels.

There are 3 foldable large bags

within the trolley, which are tailored
to store different types of items. For
example, the blue bag is designed
to be made of polyester and
waterproof materials to maintain
colder levels for fridge or freezer
items.

GPS System:
Installed to combat the issue of
stolen trolleys; the GPS tracker has
a battery life of 2 weeks and
utilises geofencing to tackle this
issue. It can only be removed by an
electromagnetic switch, so users
wouldn’t be able to remove it and it
has a cover so it’s not visible to the
public.

cad assembly
this describes how multiple parts will join together to function as one flowing system; I used my CAD
skills to create majority of the parts including adding fillets, extruding sections etc.
