Good Things Come to Those Who…

An 18X24 silkscreen posters that take a twist on the saying “GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT.” This quote is rarely true unless you’re playing an excruciatingly long game of Monopoly, such that your friends all give up to save time. As designers we critique our work day in and day out, sometimes frustratingly throwing it out and starting over.
This endless routine of obsessive perfection shows that good things don’t come to those who wait but to those who work hard every day of their lives and never quit.

moving house

a day to go until moving day, and i’ve packed up everything i own. other than some miscellaneous stuff i don’t trust to the removalists, like my model making stuff and my old cameras, plus big things like my bed and desk, all my crap fits nicely into 10 boxes. how neat :)

so after owning this house for twenty-seven years we’re finally leaving, and attempting to leave behind all the stuff we don’t really need. we’ve managed to fill up an entire skip with random crap from around the house that is completely useless to us - it’s like an episode of hoarders around here.

i’m excited to move, but at the same time i don’t want to say goodbye to my house :( i know i can’t stay here forever, but all the same, it’s going to be depressing leaving and never ever coming back.

good measure: smart study, 2011

by the end of this assignment, i really hated this thing. it was the hand in for two subjects: model making and design studio two. so as well as being the best we could design, it had to be made with certain specifications and all that. it turned out alright in the end but i am SO GLAD it’s over.

anyways, the smart study measures light, sound and temperature to give a reading on whether the area you are in is good to study or not. fun.

this is my soft model of the radio i designed for design studio two last year. most of the radios on the market today are either made of cheap, crappy black plastic, or are super high-tech with a fancy screen and a dial that’s reminiscent of an ipod. in this assignment we were asked whether that was really the best we could do for radios, or if there was something better.

i drew heavy inspiration for this from 1950’s and 60’s office intercoms and their simple designs, despite having a complex function. this is an internet radio, so i still had to include a screen, but i decided to hide it away and keep the overall look of the radio clean and simple. The main body lifts up to expose the screen, where you can change settings or the station. wouldn’t mind having one of these for myself!

the first wooden model i’ve ever made. and it’s absolutely terrible. you can’t really tell here but my measurements on the bottom cut out were completely wrong, and the orange pin is too big and i can no longer get it out…. but the paint job was passable and the camera makes it look pretty :)

so glad i never have to do model making class again. i still have to make models, but the class was pure torture.
