- 2. Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, Its really how it works The late Steve Jobs said this and I could not agree more. Technology is forever developing and this fascinates me. How the product looks is the final stage of design but how it works is the groundwork of design. My interest in technology began at a very young age. I was fascinated with technology and keen to learn how everyday items worked and how they were made. My parents bought me a Lego technic car kit when I was 10 and I spent many hours building, dismantling, studying and rebuilding the kit to gain knowledge on how the mechanics worked in this model. When an item at home broke I would often be found taking it apart to see what kind of mechanisms they used in order to work and then try and figure out how I can fix it. As I progressed through education my interest grew and I became more interested in the materials used and the manufacturing processes used to create components. Through my studies I learnt the processes required to design products from the initial design and research stage right through to the prototype stage. During projects my biggest interest was researching materials and joining methods, often creating small prototypes and seeing how they work and how they can be improved. Upon finishing my National Diploma in graphic design my ambition was to obtain a position which would enable me to utilize my qualification and develop my skills sets further. Although my search for a position wasn't as successful as I had hoped I feel I have learned a great deal from the experience and it has given me new respect for skills and qualifications. During my employment at a local conservatory roofing company I learnt various skills from AutoCAD to the importance of understanding load values for different types and sizes of roofs. I was also given the opportunity to spend time on the factory floor and help build a roof that I had designed. My time at Manchester Metropolitan University has allowed me to rediscover my passion for good design and also expand my knowledge of mechanical systems and cad design. I enjoy taking on tough challenges and have a passion for troubleshooting. I take inspiration from both the natural and manmade world to create well conceived smart, simple, balanced solutions. When given a project to complete I will explore as many different possibilities from the simple to the over complicated to ensure I have explored all possibilities to produce the best possible product. One of my passions is modern technology. I enjoy keeping up with new technology and materials and seeing examples of how these have been used as well as future concepts. My ambition for the future is to take on challenges that improve people's quality of life and to push the boundaries of technology and design to produce modern designs that are both practical and inspiring at the same time. about me andrew moore

- 10. Eco - dome BRIEF: Identify a new or less common sustainable material that can be used by a designer to achieve a positive environmental impact. Design an appropriate product that will show off the visual and structural qualities of the selected material. The product should be suitable for mass or batch production and will be a give away to potential clients in an upcoming sustainable materials exposition. For this project I chose to use PLA (Polylactic Acid as it is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from natural lactic acid from corn starch, Tapioca roots or sugarcane and can dissolve in soil in 30 - 45 days. This material can be used in the same way as other common plastics and is suitable for injection moulding. sustainable materials

- 16. trek - gen BRIEF: A manufacturer of outdoor equipment wishes to investigate the possibility of a MICROGENERATOR: a small electricity generating device that will provide sufficient electrical current to charge small portable devices such as phones/cameras/torches. The requirement is that the product can be worn by a hiker in the wilderness and the action of walking powers the microgenerator. Obviously, the device will have to be as light and unobtrusive as possible; ideally the hiker will hardly be able to tell that he/she is wearing and driving it. for this project i chose to use electromagnetic induction as the method of producing energy and create a small device that could be placed anywhere the user wishes. the energy produced would then be stored in a battery and allow the user to charge a number of devices as and when they wish via a usb connector. micro generator

- 20. leg - strengthener BRIEF: From recent research it has been discovered that a large number of patients in hospitals worldwide are not active enough during their time in hospital and are spending too much time either laying in bed or sitting down. This has a direct affect to patient health as prolonged times spent in bed can cause painful bedsores and depression and studies have shown that active patients can speed up the recovery period. Many patients suffer from various types of pain while in hospital and this can be increased with movement. This project will therefore, design a mobility aid to assist patients either getting out of bed or to assist patients when moving around the hospital. patient mobility while in hospital
