IBDP FINAL PROJECT- Bottle Opener
Good designs serve the purpose of its users.
Based on a similar thought process, I decided to
make a bottle opener for a popular food
chain, Chili's as my final IBDP project. In
today’s world where humans are more
dependent on machines, simple tools like can
openers are being neglected. Due to their small
and simple design, bottle openers are not
considered important anymore. However, in
most restaurants bottle openers are not
considered very important, however they play a
major part in day to day use. Hence proper
aesthetics and branding has started to matter
in today’s world. My bottle opener serves the
above purpose. The whole project included
research on the
restaurant, brainstorming, conceptual
ideas, different techniques, making of the
product and evaluation. I wouldn't say that my
design was a complete success, but it was a
good learning process for my industrial design
career.
The picture consists of free hand sketch, 3-D
sketch and the actual product.
TRIBA LAMP
This is a tribal lamp made of laser
printing done on Medium-density
fiberboard (MDF). The popular
tribal art of India, Warli art has
been done on the lamp. It was
made in my school's design and
technology workshop. It is a part of
my Tribute to India series of
artwork.
Educational toy –IBDP coursework
One of my first projects of IB Design and Technology was designing an educational toy for children of age
3-5 which teaches them numbers. My toy is based on assembly and disassembly of blocs to teach number
from 1-9. Colored blocs need to be put in the rod of corresponding width and color. The number of the
blocs is same as the number of the rod. For example, there is only one bloc for rod number one, two
blocs for rod number two and so on. The shown design is a 3-D sketch of my design made on Google
Sketch-up Pro. The whole process of designing this toy included research work and visiting primary
schools, conceptual designs, different techniques and evaluation after user trail. Due to the constraints
of the design brief, the actual product was not made.
Green Project- IBDP coursework
Green Design is a part of my IB curriculum for
Design and Technology. I had to use a waste
material and make a product out of it. I chose a
used plastic bottle to make a flower vase. A design
brief and specification was made for the target
market. Research was done on various
environmental concerns like renewable resources
and carbon footprint, life cycle analysis of the
plastic bottle and designs for assembly and
disassembly. After making the product evaluation
was done in form of questionnaires. I chose this
design because disposal of plastics is a major
environmental concern and we should recycle as
much plastic as possible. The flower vase looks
aesthetically pleasing and can be used for gifting
as well as decorating.
The best of paintings come out of boredom!
There is no particular theme to this painting.
However it is a form a 3-D artwork done with
rotring ink on a glossy sheet.
Bon Voyage
LuxuryLuxury is the most evil human desire. We desire the best, regardless, of the
financial statuses. This car was made on a similar thought process. It shows the
luxurious life humans wants. It also highlights the use of metals in most of the
products.
Compression
This painting shows the effect of compression and explosion. The metal
has compressed and exploded into small pieces. There is no specific theme
to this artwork, however it does signify the agitation and frustration of
human mind which explodes similarly when extra pressure is applied to it.
Moksha
Moksha is freedom in Sanskrit. The hard
and wired net has seized the inner soul.
But nothing can suppress the soul of a
free mind. The dove which is symbolic
of freedom has set itself free. The
purple net fabric shows royalty in being
free. Nothing can surpass the beauty of
freedom.
The merger: Man and Technology
The merger of man and technology has
increased their dependence on each
other. However the paradox remains:
Humanity influences technology or
technology influences humanity? This
sculpture conveys the same. The wire of
the mobile phone has circumscribed the
human hand to show how human life has
been encircled by the ever growing
technology. It is hard to come out of the
technology bounded life but one cannot
survive without it either. I was inspired to
make this sculpture because of my own
dependence on technology. As a teenager,
I cannot even imagine one day without
laptops and mobile phones. Therefore to
convey my feelings about the same, I
made this sculpture out of ceramic.
Techman
Techman illustrates the 21st century
man. Each organ in his body has
been replaced by a product that has
some connection to the organs'
function. For example; computer
corresponds brain, loudspeaker
resembles mouth , clock shows the
heart, eyes are replaced by
binoculars and so on. This painting
shows the dependence of humans on
products and technology. As
consumers, humans have consumed
their own body. In this era where
technology overpowers humans, we
need to set ourselves free. This
painting is also a form of surrealism.
I love shoes. I am a shopaholic, but why spend money
when I can design my own shows. Inspired by Indian
tribal art, these shoes beautify the Indian culture.
Another artwork to the tribute to India series.
Also, these shoes are definitely wearable.
Platonism
Platonism is the immortality or the non
death of the soul and or the spirit. This
painting depicts mortality and
immortality. The rocks signify the dead.
The end of life. Whereas the imprinted
hand with colors signify living. The
colors of life which never fade away. The
soul is created by God and it does not
perish when it separates from the body
at death. It will be reunited with the
body at the final resurrection.
