Study Product Design

Designing the future

• Video transcript

  Student 1: My favourite piece of product design is the Lego brick. It's infinitely creative, there's so much you can do with it.

  Student 2: My favourite would be the 3D printers. It's a really new technology that we haven't fully explored yet.

  Student 3: Loop earplugs, instead of blocking the noise, it filters it. And I just think they're a really good piece of design.

  Student 4: The silicone menstrual cup, they're so convenient and they're really improving the lives of so many people.

  Student 5: Regenerative packaging, because they're very environmentally friendly and I think it's a very creative and inspiring use of design.

  Student 4: My favourite project right now is the live brief with a group.

  Student 5: Disassembling a scooter and then redesigning a better scooter. I think it's a really cool way of getting into product design.

  Student 1: We're writing magazines of our own to help us focus on our own design philosophy. I think that in the future, product design can take me anywhere. It's such an important subject in so many fields.

  Student 2: Right now, I'm on an industrial placement at the International Workplace Group, looking into new ways we can make their company more progressive and more sustainable.

  Student 5: In one of my courses, we worked with whittling spoons. So, we used axes, spoon knives and many other things, it was really interesting and I love the course

  Student 1: Design can most certainly, change the world. It is the beginning of all things. It translates what we believe can be done into what can be done.

  Student 4: There's so many interesting areas to explore.

  Student 2: We can be way more sustainable.

  Student 5: There's pretty much infinite possibilities.
