PROLOGUEMajor: Industrial Design

Concentration: Project Management

My name is Clinton Honn and I am a young, versitile, creative person who is fervent about design. Coming from a small mid-west town, my design perspective is unique and unlike any others. Following my passion, I am developing a career in the field of Industrial Design and become a better overall design professional. Outside of design, I enjoy playing guitar, sports, lighting, furniture and getting involved in organizations with people whom have the same passions. I graduated from Iowa State University, May 2014, and looking for opportunities to grow and learn as a designer. I would like to live in a place where I can experience other cultures, and settle into a community.

JOURNEY

JUST IN TIMEEmergancy Alert System

“Protection Fused Sophistication”

1

CHALLENGE

“How to create a fashionable emergancy alert system that detects

when users fall in the home”

Falls are the leading cause of death due to an injury among the elderly

54% of falls occur in the home.

87% of all fractures in the elderly are due to falls.

Getting immediate help after an immobilizing fall improves the chance of survival by 80% and increases the likelihood of a return to independent living.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENTUsing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags the watches will have the ability to track the users movement sending constant feedback to the sensors throughout the rooms of the home providing a sense of security for the user.

FINAL DESIGN

CONCEPT CALLOUT1. Magnified Tempered Glass to make the numbers easier to read.

2. Polycarbonate Plastic provides a light weight face that still protects the internal components.

3. Watch face clip for user customization with ease and security.

4. Push locking and release mechanism makes it easier for the elderly to wind themselves.

5. Fail safe button gives the person the ability to call for help without waiting for the 10 second unconscious alarm to be activated.

6. Silicone Gel attachment allows the straps to expand and fit over various hand sizes without the use of a clasp mechanism.

HELE’s challenge is to connect the timeless boarding style of life with the forever evolving technologies. Using new perspectives, this cruser style longboard is designed for the casual rider whom wants an added element of stopping ability.

Wheel Cover: Element protection

Foot Brake: Helps slow the rider without draging their foot or sliding

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW) Deck: The highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made, extremely low moisture absorption and a low coefficent of friction.

Urethane Wheels: more dampening than plastic for a smoother ride

LETALuminescent Equestrian Tack

“Don’t Just Be Seen, Be Noticed”

Wearing high visual clothing gives up to three seconds more for a driver going 30 mph to see another road user.

From an online poll of 1,021, 69% road horses on public roads twice a week.

There was a combined total of 3,822 emergancy hospital admissions for horse riders and horse drawn carrages.

Passing to closely accounted for 2,428 road accidnets between motorists and horses.

The Equestrian industry has a direct impack on the U.S. of $39 billion dollars annually.

CHALLENGE“How can lives be saved while on horse

back rides during low lighting situations?”

IDEATION SKETCHINGDuring ideation my key challenge was to mimic the natural shape of the horse’s body into a fuctional product that would change the standard for high visual equestrian tack.

FURTHER IDEATIONFinding the most opportunity in “Horse Boots” the concept began to take shape through inspriation from abstraction.
