The use of shadows also enhances the illusion that the tips are going under the ached edge. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/Pattern06.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Repeating patterns An initial design for a repeating pattern was simple interlocking three spur propeller shapes.

However it must fail after a second brick was added. Fortunately the design supported the first brick, and unfortunately imploded after the second brick was added. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/pastabridge.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> The Vending Machine A mechatronics project involving circuit board design, manufacture and PIC programming to produce a vending machine that accepted one coin, rejected another would dispense a sweet and indicate to the user when the stock was empty. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/vendingmachine.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Lighting project Another group project where we had to create a brand and design and manufacture a mood light. Our brand was Fata Morgana (a mirage on the horizon) this inspired us to develop various lights that create optical illusions. My concept was a frame that encapsulated an array of tube lamps between a mirror and a one way mirror. When it’s viewed through the one way mirror the infinite reflections give the impression of an endless corridor of light travelling into a void. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/light.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> JCB contextual This was yet another group project where we chose JCB to research as a brand and look at conceptualising a new avenue for them to pursue. One this thing that stood out from our research was JCB’s interest with charitable work where construction equipment has been donated to help clear up various natural disasters and develop areas in deprived countries. As a group we looked at creating a more hands on tool that can be left with the people long after the construction equipment has left, and would help improve their lives on a day to day basis. <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/jcb1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/jcb2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/jcb4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b284/Mike105e/Cargo/jcb3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Pasta Project A group project where the brief was to build a spaghetti bridge that spanned a meter and supported 1 house hold brick.
