I WANT YOU TO WRITE FOR DESIGN FOR STUDENTS

When I first decided to start this site, I had one single goal. To create something that has not been done- A community where anybody can write about life as a design student. I have written articles, set up social media accounts, developed this website, tried to make the site take life. Its missing one thing. Something I can not do myself. I need to make this site a community. For designers, for students, for people who want to share their knowledge and to learn from what others have to share. I need the people who want to create and inspire creation. I need to build a community- I need you to help.

If you want to write about design, experiences at Uni / College, share photos and videos- whatever you want to share and learn. I want this site to become the place you can do that.

Email your article ideas, stories, projects and work to dazzmanfish@gmail.com OR write in the comments section OR message me through the Design for Students Google+ page.

PROTOTYPES- how to make high quality models for university

 How I make high quality prototype models for my university projects. The first and second model may look similar, but one is ridiculously easy to make and requires almost no tools (seriously).

THE MECHALAMP - a custom designed and built lamp

A one-of lamp manufactured from laser cut aluminium and cast resin.

This lamp was part of a second year industrial design university project. It is made from 4mm thick laser cut aluminium and solid clear casting resin, held together by custom machined fasteners. It is fully adjustable and operational (more in-context and lighting pictures coming soon!). Click here to see my other blog which shows the processes involved in making this lamp.
