Upcycling

Today in Design Studies we were given our latest brief - UPCYCLED STORIES

The aims of this project are:

• To deepen the understanding of the design process

• To develop the drawing ability of students to allow them to express their ideas more effectively

• To explore the roles of typography and storyboarding in design

• To develop the ability to create artefacts that communicate predefined aesthetic values

• To develop an understanding of the importance of drawing as a medium for the expression of ideas

• To develop an understanding of sustainability in relation to design

The idea is to take old or broken house hold objects and to create four creatures from them.

After returning from the Dundee Recycling Centre we realised that we had, subconsciously, returned with lots of objects that were round. So we’ve decieded to take follow the theme of of ‘Nocturnal Creatures of Dundee’.

Check of these pictures below. We were going for the wide eyed look. I think we pulled it off quite nicely!
