It would need to be small enough to still be able to be used as a medal, while still fitting all the electronics inside it. The medal would work like a pager, the explorer would need a satellite phone to allow them to receive messages through the medal. An oled screen would be used as it is small and has a bright display that can be easily read in all conditions.<div>I made a concept model to see how the medal would work and look. It was far too big so I had to rethink my plan and ensure that the Encourage medal could be made small enough so it would not annoy the explorer when they were wearing it.</div><div>I have also created a make tutorial, this describes how to use styrene and what I did to make the main body of my model with it.

I worked on many different forms of the tag, with parts that pulled out to reveal a screen or that could be read like a book. <div>I then had the idea to make it in the form of a medal, I thought this would fit in with the Fortnum and Mason brief, conveying a sense of British pride and heritage. </div>Eilidh Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500022646475209091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779926252981830584.post-31241982363989654292009-04-09T15:47:00.001-07:002009-04-09T16:53:14.196-07:00100 ideas sketchbook<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Cjs8f5ISRIdtmCWPUeXNOgfnp4Jm5jl_Ykho-hjSeqjGyZ31lli6y1KWe0TqkFcF-Dn8MNl6HaekdHyNFJuPdFiPe0rd61HbOT2zhrWB7EmvDZ-v0WVyFMV-a6Rf2n6mChK7zOPNsN-n/s1600-h/P3050051.JPG"><img style="float:centre; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Cjs8f5ISRIdtmCWPUeXNOgfnp4Jm5jl_Ykho-hjSeqjGyZ31lli6y1KWe0TqkFcF-Dn8MNl6HaekdHyNFJuPdFiPe0rd61HbOT2zhrWB7EmvDZ-v0WVyFMV-a6Rf2n6mChK7zOPNsN-n/s200/P3050051.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322827553179774530" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>After getting the results of my cultural probes I had a number of insights.

We were given the choice of three projects as part of the D&AD student awards 2009. I chose the brief to create a product for a contemporary antarctic explorer synonymous with the values of Fortnum & Mason. I chose this brief because it was different from anything I have done in the course before and presents many new challenges. I wanted to explore a brief that involves a subject that I am not very familiar with to give me a greater depth of knowledge in new areas.<div>I started by creating new cultural probes. In these, I included a label for the user to put on objects in their homes that they would miss if they were to go on an expedition, a chocolate bar with a question asking what luxuries they would take on an expedition and a map of the world for the user to mark the places they would like to visit and what they would take with them. I have handed out two packs to people who enjoy walking and visit different locations around the world. Now to wait for the results...</div>Eilidh Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500022646475209091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779926252981830584.post-84206953137440670022008-12-19T20:13:00.001-08:002009-01-11T07:02:09.125-08:00final idea<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptalxdT2anrU8mgBhX40ojdrqDDxJzj3ACCevd9VguntdYbWfk5y8jwHYCbwUBKsKds16rEiSluanshMOL9xGXHcvAKMbTw-TQ_-WcccJYJSzYE2NrV9BuXs13TlU5VQ6usDHWMKCEV9a/s1600-h/LGIM0034.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptalxdT2anrU8mgBhX40ojdrqDDxJzj3ACCevd9VguntdYbWfk5y8jwHYCbwUBKsKds16rEiSluanshMOL9xGXHcvAKMbTw-TQ_-WcccJYJSzYE2NrV9BuXs13TlU5VQ6usDHWMKCEV9a/s200/LGIM0034.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281720819074030274" /></a>My final idea for this project developed from an idea to display tattoos and meanings behind them by bluetoothing them to posters when you walk past. This then moved on to an idea to have interactive posters that use a touchscreen to draw on whenever you want. I wanted to make this idea more commercially viable so it became an interactive advert. <div>Companies can select where they want to advertise, upload their company logo and font using the website. When someone draws on the touchscreen poster, it recognises lines created and transforms them into a design to advertise a company. Anything the user writes is written in the company font. </div><div>I wanted to encourage people to express themselves and involve the general public more in the design of posters for their favourite companies.</div>Eilidh Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500022646475209091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779926252981830584.post-63419577784364677072008-11-08T18:08:00.001-08:002008-11-08T18:54:53.527-08:00100 ideas<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEI4nJW75hiY0uNsocAQHwhkDAHsopxt2HpDAwW7i21RgEf17YnimPPusLH06QKcV1I58LwzQAuYT2H8qPHAMOiab_qS4Q64VXWieHQwRQgXy5x162Yn2xRYdy-Qmyf6MiL4MuTmM-MTV9/s1600-h/DSC02587.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEI4nJW75hiY0uNsocAQHwhkDAHsopxt2HpDAwW7i21RgEf17YnimPPusLH06QKcV1I58LwzQAuYT2H8qPHAMOiab_qS4Q64VXWieHQwRQgXy5x162Yn2xRYdy-Qmyf6MiL4MuTmM-MTV9/s200/DSC02587.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266485827155314290" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmsAj9jq21Dum7dk6YJXsQP1SamlLH9LqodnibWHRUvMcRkHUOMjUKvUHiRRdePF6fop9mg1aAQ8QL7RldHNjBWIseSRbge02krTfv_TusZEk_AGrHVJGtZLypCh8jxswITaDSTbS7uBA/s1600-h/DSC02585.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmsAj9jq21Dum7dk6YJXsQP1SamlLH9LqodnibWHRUvMcRkHUOMjUKvUHiRRdePF6fop9mg1aAQ8QL7RldHNjBWIseSRbge02krTfv_TusZEk_AGrHVJGtZLypCh8jxswITaDSTbS7uBA/s200/DSC02585.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266474191853760322" /></a>The results of my cultural probe packs and photos the users took allowed me to generate over 100 ideas. These range from interactive jewellery to allow you to display meanings and stories behind your tattoos, public art posters that use a touchscreen so anyone can draw on them, to piano doorbells that let visitors to play their own tune and stamps on the bottom of everyones hands with their signature to avoid it being forged. The interests and lifestyles of un-tattooed people helped me generate ideas such as, weather forecasting garden pebbles and networked photo frames that let you write hand-written messages to friends and family.Eilidh Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500022646475209091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779926252981830584.post-64376597723372035652008-11-08T17:35:00.001-08:002008-11-08T18:22:56.993-08:00tattoo inspiration<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2GdwUKdpJ3yOTV4-iKnJdwzlPN_a6D3i6XSlX1tPS544l_I9eDaoSqgdhuXz5WRnx7kfGrpLJK_MYlqssvLEpIaomSMx7baORbfUucwGZDEmEqBVukgf8fFtclgBCD1zP7SJqWfGP5wq/s1600-h/2925190413_c70071db1f.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb2GdwUKdpJ3yOTV4-iKnJdwzlPN_a6D3i6XSlX1tPS544l_I9eDaoSqgdhuXz5WRnx7kfGrpLJK_MYlqssvLEpIaomSMx7baORbfUucwGZDEmEqBVukgf8fFtclgBCD1zP7SJqWfGP5wq/s200/2925190413_c70071db1f.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266467049521241202" /> </a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzliG56vrzi00RTDhLR-UK8EKtDswIO4y_5ARS-egAGzUjBHQX5VMH4gPWrGwjaFLVaNQItUM2LwAJeN_g_wfEple7KR-SOWPaACWf8y9vhGPHIFKXuWY-w1jpDt2wv_7ugeOjgnRlMuBR/s1600-h/donna2.jpg"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 153px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivWx7ho4-SZ7LIjgs3kLZE0FXOHYo1wIqhEyGeKZuAuFaUikLBHrk87qaoGkO2lnVIVUMD0v7pzm-gHsptXBSyCPPAadzQcPa4-94lxC6mEZ_ojMW8yroSc9WzjFFNkSm0eePLZroBTwcY/s200/farfalle5_JPG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266467042246794530" /> </a><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 153px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzliG56vrzi00RTDhLR-UK8EKtDswIO4y_5ARS-egAGzUjBHQX5VMH4gPWrGwjaFLVaNQItUM2LwAJeN_g_wfEple7KR-SOWPaACWf8y9vhGPHIFKXuWY-w1jpDt2wv_7ugeOjgnRlMuBR/s200/donna2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266467044290924290" /><br /><div>I love looking up tattoos on the internet and in books and finding new, inspiring tattoo artists such as Alex de Pase.

A tattooed wooden manikin, face paint tattoos drawn on people and a variety of opinions. Tattoos were described as "foolish vanity" and an expression of "art and your interests". In general though, un-tattooed people were concerned about not having the perfect design that they would be happy with for the rest of their lives. I also found that tattoos artists and people who get tattoos are passionate about them and most have stories and meanings behind them. However, these meanings can be distorted by others.<br /></div>Eilidh Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13500022646475209091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779926252981830584.post-75321601458746879492008-10-15T14:45:00.000-07:002008-11-08T18:41:09.858-08:00inspirational image<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwVju4wyPNOquK4uiBriW5pT6F_pMWzH5X5XWvjr1lJvk7b1gOzPEoDJLLcV6e7qpT6xpz21SKw0Yn00IoNrrcjotDyCTZzeJSHpVZ1ULrTTaGRVM5N_XyxAHtsnrLfoZrVgmWgbIWJh3E/s1600-h/tattoo-artist-quwatha-valentine.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwVju4wyPNOquK4uiBriW5pT6F_pMWzH5X5XWvjr1lJvk7b1gOzPEoDJLLcV6e7qpT6xpz21SKw0Yn00IoNrrcjotDyCTZzeJSHpVZ1ULrTTaGRVM5N_XyxAHtsnrLfoZrVgmWgbIWJh3E/s320/tattoo-artist-quwatha-valentine.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257506508309723234" /></a><br />An image that inspires me is a tattoo artist painting by Quwatha Valentine.
