Goldsmiths Degree Show // Hyphen Catalogue

In the lead up to our graduating show for Goldsmiths Design 2017, we decided to generate a catalogue to beautifully showcase and explain the 108 projects to be exhibited. 

We decided on using a brightly coloured, attractive and interactive print layout, which elevated each project into an individual pull-out poster. This layout also allowed our show’s identity [Hyphen] to be communicated throughout the publication - joining two random projects together, to create or inspire a brand new methodology or project. 

The overall piece was truly a souvenir of the incredible show that our year managed to put together. It showcased each and every project in a beautiful way, and demonstrated the versatility and multidisciplinary nature of the Goldsmiths Design course.

Spoon Making Preperation

  So moving away from the idea of making a string lathe with the children, I decided to have a session of making wooden spoons instead due to the fact craft here in Nepal seems to be very popular, and hidden in parts of the country such as here in Bhandara, Chitwan there are carpenters with a huge amount of skill along side a selection of hand crafted tools made locally too. My plan is to run…

Finally, in Nepal

During my time in Nepal, I will be staying a few weeks in Kathmandu and the rest in Chitwan. To start with I am visiting a close family friend; touring the sights of Kathmandu city and having a catch up, afterwards I meet up with a Nepalese man I was put in contact with that helps run a community centre in Chitwan. Tonight I hope to take the bus down South of Nepal towards Chitwan to meet with…

Operation Workshop

Landing home to West Wales I arrived home to a big change on the farm; the old barn which kept general machinery inside was pulled down and a brand-new shed was raised on top. A project my farther has intended on tackling for years, the shed itself will be used for business purpose; general farm mechanics, tree surgery mechanics and welding. The plan over the Easter break whilst I’m home is to…

Metal

Tech Studies – Metal Metal is a form of making I feel comfortable at, so today I made sure I’d walk into class feeling clueless on what we had set to due, because I felt like the way I would have been shown in the passed or even tried out myself would be incorrect. We went through the simple processes of creating forms with metal, such as bending, marking, measuring (measure twice cut once),…

Image

Tech Studies – Image How to document your work correctly. Today we went through our camera step by step learning about how to use it correctly through just understanding the functions. We were advised to use in Manual Mode, which was something I hardly experienced due to lack of knowledge. I think as a designer Image is definitely a tool we should be strong at doing because presenting work is…

Physical Computing

Tech Studies – Physical Computing Physical computing taught is a way of making normal day to day objects smart. The platform we used was Arduino which was a tool I had never used. We looked at other designers work such as the Piano stairs and the Deepest bin, to me these were a prime example of making design fun, it also seemed like a quick process of creating and making. The Cloud Wash was…
