My blog showcases as much of my design work done at St. Andrews College, Grahamstown as I possibly can get a hold of. Here is a piece we did last term. What were given was the word R.E.D.D, it could be the colour, it could stand for something, it could be pretty much anything infact.

After careful thought and after pondering this concept for a fair while, I decided to make some thing to help people who live for the outdoors, and more importantly love picnicking and having a good time outdoors.

Now what I noticed while in Australia on holiday, was that people were constantly trying to balance drinks on the lawn and keep them safe from being bumped over. Eventually they resort to holding them. But what most people know is that the Aussies love their beer, and what they love more is ICE COLD BEER. Yes, by holding the drinks they ultimately made their drinks warm.


My solution to this?

To manufacture a Really Easy Drinking Device. A device that would hold the drinks, all the while keeping them safe and out of harms way, allowing the Aussies to do what they enjoy, be it lazing in the sun, playing a spot of beach cricket or playing a touch of footy in the park. My device would put an end to wastage, broken glass, and warm drinks. R.E.D.D... Really Easy Drinking Device

Our New Task.. 'YO CITY'..

Yup that is our official next task. 'Yo City'.
What we have to do is pretty much show how young designers AKA us, can create a change in society, be it now, in the future.. any city any place. we have to show that we can make a change, a positive change.. more on this later...
