Interior Design

"You have been asked to design the interior of a room in the Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel, choose an unique theme and build a model of your design."

The theme I chose for my room was Adventure Awaits. I wanted to create a space for adventurous travellers to experience an interactive room in the heart of Cape Town. I used line as the primary motive in my design, the repetition thereof creates rhythm and the illusion of height and freedom. I used zebra prints to incorporate an Africa theme.

The furniture is interactive and playful. Three sleeping spots are hidden, the room is thus suitable for 1 to 4 visitors. Another interactive element is the Map Wall. Each visitor is encouraged to pin the location on the map of where he/she is from. Therefore the room builds character with every visitor.

I used ice cream sticks for the floor. For the rest I used carton and paper-maché.

Light design

This task was so create and make a lamp shade
The theme: celebrating 20 years of democracy

I wanted to portray the theme by using contrasting materials that should not fit together, but just do. Like democracy - different people, contrasting people, living together in harmony.

For the final product I braided straws and rope into mesh. Colouring the rope by soaking it in tea. It took hours, but looked nice in the end. I also braided rope around the electrical cord.

Term 2_Design that makes a difference.

For this project we had to choose a global problem (hunger, education, pollution) and design a solution to help solve the problem. We then had to choose a design category (visual, product, surface) to design in.

The global problems that I chose were Education and Pollution.

I wanted to design a product that is available to anyone and can be used by anyone, not just for the poor or the rich.

I decided to design an inexpensive booklet that can be bought or handed out. This booklet shows you step by step how to create a playground from easily found recycled materials. By recycling we are stopping pollution, by building your children this playground you teach the younger generation about recycling and playing is a very effective form of education. Thus attempting to make the world a better place by simply having fun. The booklet is designed to be a colouring in book as well, making it ever more fun and educational.

I also designed a logo and the illustrations for the booklet. After that I built the tyre see-saw, following the booklets instructions.

I decided on the name Urban Play for the product.

2015 - Font Design

Our first term project of 2014 was to design a font. We were told to choose an inspiration and experiment with different ways of creating letters. I chose dance as my inspiration because, at least for me, it is one of the most beautiful forms of expression.

I experimented with different poses to best portray the letters. Finally I asked two of my friends to be my models, a gymnast and a ballet dancer.
