Night Light 3 – kokong, livet, hemligheter
(2014-11-25) Huggert, Brita; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
Jag har skapat ett material i vävstolen och format det till en stor kokong. För att föra min arbetsprocess ännu ett steg har jag använt och experimenterat med färg som aktiveras i ljus och lyser i mörkret, After glow *. Temat och ord jag arbetade mest omkring under projekttiden var bl.a. kokong, livet och hemligheter.
Akka. Ett skrivbord för hemmet anpassat för rullstolsburna.
(2013-02-18) Hägg, Sigrid; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
A woman is dying of cancer, she refuses to use her walking aid. Because she is embarrassed. This means she can’t leave her house, and her last days become very limited. Why do we act like this? Can the view we have of products adapted for disabled be changed by working with colour, texture, form and materials? There are many products adapted for disabled, the products often have a good function and well developed ergonomic aspects but the visual aspect leaves a lot to wish for. There is neither effort nor money put in to the exterior design of most of these products. A lot of the solutions that are invented for adapted products can be used in design of “regular” products. Why should we then divide products in to adapted and non-adapted. Why not use inclusive design, then we will get new solutions, new viewpoints and benefit from each other? A good function. An interesting, dignified visual exterior. In this project I have worked with a writing desk for home use. The desk is designed with minimum measures and is also foldable. The desk is adapted for wheelchair users. But the wheelchair users are not the solitaire target group, I am working with inclusive design and accessibility should be obvious. The processing of the problem should be the same as for “regular” design problems. If we work like this, more products will be more accessible to more people.
SFEH. The clothes. The brand. The style.
(2013-02-18) Palleschitz, Karl; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
SFEH A project about a clothing brand and a new kind of showroom that looses it´s structure during the process.But managed to find the core and produced a personal mirror of prints for a greater cause. Sfeh is the brand with quality and humor in focus and the will to push the boundries. With prints based on free drawing and smart thinking as it´s essential base. The project resulted with a various collection with mostly T-shirts but also textile gloves and bed sheets.
Dimensioner. Mellan 2D och 3D, en undersökning av yta och innehåll
(2013-02-18) Leman, Mette; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
A project exploring the boundaries between 2D and 3D. What is surface and what is substance? A countinuation of previous projects where I’ve examined the journey from two dimensional paper to three dimensonal objects. This project deals with the journey from three dimensonality back into a flat two dimensional surface, and the question if something can be both 2D and 3D at the same time. I decided not to center the project around a specific item, but rather let the project itself be in focus. I’ve used ”Dimension” and ”Shell” as themes to guide me during my explorations. The final product consists of three objects, one image, one object and a pair of 3D-glasses to experience the three dimensional effects and as a way of combining the two. The object is both the substance and the packaging of itself.
Impressions of reality
(2013-02-18) Damgaard, Christina; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
Impression of reality deals with the subject of wearing a mask. It is an exploration of the idea that we are all playing different roles, on a stage in front of an audience. The aim was to work conceptually with text, photo and video as a way of exploring a subject. The goal was to create and edit the material so it would be interesting for the visitor at the graduation exhibition. The content was created through experiments based on questions such as the following examples; What is a mask? How can content control form? What is originality? The process resulted in a publication and a video installation with the ambition of highlighting the idea of the world as a theatrical construction. An applause for the actor as she enters the stage!
En drömsaga. Material till en barnbok
(2013-02-18) Claesson, Greta; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
My Exam work is about how to communicate with children. Reading for children is important and meaningful. They get connection with adults and inspiration to read and tell stories by there own. Therefore I created the draft to a children book. I made it up on my own. The text is in rhyme. I chose rhyme for many reasons. First of all, it is fun to write and read. Second, it is a help for children to remember a story. They also get a larger vocabulary. The story is about dreams. I made up small figures that come every night and tell our dreams. Abstract things as dreams can be difficult to explain for children. My story can be a help for parents to talk about good, or bad dreams. My position is, never lie to children. The story is just an explanation for fun, so children can think about something else, when they had a bad dream for example. My question for this work was; How do you communicate with children in a good way? For me, one good way is reading, and of course, what kind of book. My hope is that my book will be a good communicator for children. In the future I will hand in the draft in to get it in print, and with a hard cover.
De osynliga stränderna - en omvandling och undersökning av boken De osynliga städerna
(2013-02-18) Karlsson, Milena; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
My project is an interpretation and exploration of the book The Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. It is a play on the swedish words for cities and beaches. By adding the letters R and N the word for cities in the title transforms into the word for beaches. The project is equal parts a color investigation and an exploration of new working methods as it is an development of my approch to graphic design. My aim was to, through a visual, conceptual and playful investigation create a new interpretation of the book The Invisible Cities. By identifying systems, language and details I tell a story about travelling and charter trips. The journey starts in the book and ends on the beach of Karpathos.
Arkiv: Indien 2011-12. En reseskildring genom ett projekt om en resa
(2013-02-18) Ekstrand, Oskar; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
My project is based on a journey to India in the winter of 2011-12. I knew that I wanted to do some sort of travelouge based on my photos from the trip. I also knew I wanted to do some sort of book. How this, the story of my travels in India, would be told and what the theme was going to be, that was more elusive. I started out with the notion of a retelling of the old epic Ramayana and combining this with my travels and the critical perspective of Edward W. Saids Orientalism. This proved to be an impossible equation and I also had to rework my plan to fit the tight timeframe I had. In the end I chose to tell a much more personal story about the memories of my trip. The work raised questions of how much you can manipulate a material and still tell the truth about the reality of things. And if the personal can be made to be of interest to others. The finished version of the book is in the form of an archive for memories and mementos. The common thread throughout the work is the more than four meter long picture representing the journey. The picture is composed of several photographs and in details accordingly true, the whole of the picture is something more like a dream or a memory. Inside there are two more layers, written memories and photographic mementos. The whole thing is set in a romantic mood resembling the heroic travelouges of old times. It´s a play with those orientalist themes in a commentary to the way the west historically have been portaying the east. I wanted the romantic allure but when you look closer it shows a much truer representation of India today. I think that I succeeded well in what I set out to do. I think I found a good balance between true-to-reality and poetic fiction in this work that is a peek into the private memories of a journey through another land.
Mönsterminnen - att skapa nya mönster av gamla minnen
(2013-02-18) Serholt, Matilda; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
This is a project about creating new patterns from childhood memories of patterns. I have been reaserching the possibility to add further value to a pattern in terms of memories, stories, associations and feelings. The goal has been to create new patterns from other peoples memories of patterns. It has also been my purpose to develop my skills and feel more comfortable in the creating of patterns. The questions at issu has been: How can I tell a story with a pattern? How can I communicate a feeling or a mood with a pattern? How does our memory image and an interpretation effect the process and the end result? I interviewed nine people. The questions during the interview was: Your name and age? Where was the pattern you’r going to talk about placed? How did it look like? What kind of feelings or emotions do you connect with this pattern? Someting else you whant to tell about the pattern? I created five patterns and during the process with the interviews I realised the importance of showing the stories in the end result. I choose to make a book in the size of the pattern report 53x64 cm. The book includes the patterns, quotes from the stories and interior pictures of the patterns. I’ve been working with water colour, Photoshop, digital prints on fabric, digital prints on paper, screen prints on fabric and screen prints on paper. It’s important for me that that the hand is visible in my work. It shows a great deal of craftsmanship and also a respect for my own work and the people who’s about to use it.
Luova. En föränderlig sittmöbel för det offentliga rummet
(2013-02-18) Särkijärvi, Gabriel; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
The aim of this project was to design a furniture that raises thoughts and curiosity about how to relate to people you share furniture with. Luova, a changing piece of furniture for public spaces is a bench where the user can choose the degree of social interaction. Furniture for public spaces has a diverse audience ranging from children to adults. Some come alone, others in group. Some are sitting down for a short time while others stay for longer. Some are just waiting, others are reading their news paper. Luovas variability creates, in addition to various forms of aesthetic expression, access to a variety of ways to socialize. When Luova is left blank, it tells a story of its past visitors.
Neoplasm 2.5D. Ett utforskande kring modulära skärmväggar
(2013-02-18) Sjöberg, Love; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
Neoplasm 2.5D, is a project centered around exploring possibilities of combining various digital tools with the use of a lasercutter, to create intricate patterns with illusions of depth and texture, and to combine these studies into a working fullscale model that could be the basis for a future design product.
Jag vill, men hur? Ett utforskande av den kreativa processen.
(2013-02-18) Adamsson, Lina; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
I want to, but how? My work is a research of the creative process. I have asked myself how ideas take form and how materials can become bearers of ideas. The work has been treated as an action rather than an object. The result shows my research and my interpretation: the process and result are the same.
Expedition Kon-tiki. Ett utforskande arbete om återgivning
(2013-02-18) Brynielsson, Julia; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
My work has been an investigation project with focus on reproduction, method, structure and visual representation. The goal was to investigate how a story changes through time and space as well as how graphic design can affect a story depending on the visual representation. The result is a publication, an exploration of these subjects with the help of the book Expedition Kon-Tiki. Using more or less controlled methods of selections I have created different sorts of reproductions of the expedition. Just as subjective as reality itself.
Hommage till slit och släp - västerbottniska arbetarskjortor i en undersökning om mönsters påverkan på kläder
(2013-02-18) Dahlqvist, Emma; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
Hommage till slit och släp is a tribute and a resarch about patterns relation to clothes. The primary goal of the project was to examine how a pattern could change the apperance of a garment and how the garment’s construction and material would impact the pattern. The formative survey was about the sparsely populated areas in the north of Sweden and how theese areas have been treated by the swedish government. The issue worked as an inspiration and method which I used in the patternresearch. The result is four working shirts, each one with different variations of one pattern which works as a tribute to the people of northern Sweden whos bodies was worn out by working in the landscape.
Hokus Fokus - gestaltning och utformning av rum för barn i sjukhusmiljö
(2013-02-18) Augustsson, Johanna; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
In this project I have worked with creating a new kind of room in a hospital enviroment for children. The main purpose of the project has been to form a secure and positive experience for the patient while visiting a specific room at the department of childrens physiologi, at Drottning Silvias Children- and youth hospital in Gothenburg. The project was based on questions like how it is possible to move the focus from the unsecure and scary, to something secure and positive, when the patient is going through an testing situation. The target gruop included a wide age span (0-16 years old), therefore I have worked with a theme, H2O, that works for diffrent ages. In the room, I have applicated the theme in different levels that is changeable depending on the age of the patient. During the project I have presented my ideas for the staff at the hospital. We have discussed their problems, what they wish in their working enviroment and how they experience the situation for the patients. I have also asked the patients how they experience the specific room today. The result of the project is a visual idea of how you can create a room, that you don’t exepect to find in a hospital.
In b__ween. Ett arbete om sammanhang
(2013-02-18) Andersson, Hanna; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
As a designer, I find myself daily being confronted with choices which eventually can be summarized as how we experience something. What’s the function, feeling, what colors should there be, shapes, materials, etc. Different parts will be combined to create an entirety. The only question is why we are affected so differently by the same entirety. In this project I have examined how the relationship between a space and a product affects our perception of a coherensy and what it is that makes us experience it so differently. I wanted to find a way to methodically explore the importance of the coherency for the experience of a product and a space in relation to each other, in order to produce a material that can form the basis for further work on the spatial context. I’ve looked into the psycological term central coherence and formed a scale that shows the human abilities to perceive a context in various psychological conditions. From this scale I’ve tried to concretize the process of making a spacial coherency by creating two different additional steps based on each extreme of the scale which helps you make sure that both functional and emotional needs are included in the process.
Ön - Ett undersökande arbete i Clas Engströms författarskap, om en ö på en ö och dess betydelse för ett samhälles utveckling
(2013-02-18) Engström, Elin; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
The following report describes an exploratory work about Furillen, an island that belongs to the area Rute, in northern Gotland. The project is a result of a selection of texts taken from the author Clas Engström - my grandfather. He wrote, among other things, about the inhabitants of Rute and their experience and ways of dealing with the development of their society. Through the use of graphic design I have tried to update the content of some of these texts. Much have changed since my grandfather wrote about Rute, which gave me further reason to update the topic. In addition to the research, I looked at graphic design’s importance for interpreting the literary content. I tried to visualize the content using different text composition and typography. The result resembles an archive of litterary texts, information and documentation which in it self is a result of the research process. / Följande rapport beskriver ett undersökande arbete om Furillen, en ö tillhörande Rute Socken på norra Gotland. Undersökningen har kommit till genom ett urval av texter från min farfar Clas Engströms - författarskap. I sammanhanget av grafisk design har jag försökt aktualisera innehållet i dessa texter som i mångt och mycket handlar om Rutebornas upplevelse av och sätt att hantera utvecklingen i deras samhälle. Texterna om Rute hade också möjligheter att aktualiseras då det har skett stora förändringar sedan farfar skrev om platsen. Rapporten redovisar del ett och två av undersökningen. Den första delen gör ett nedslag i författarskapet och består av texter i urval som på ett eller annat vis berör Furillen och Rutes utveckling. Den andra delen består av ett historiskt bildmaterial, samt en dokumentation av Furillen som det ser ut nu, på platsen. Utöver Furillen har den grafiska formens förhållande till det litterära innehållet också varit föremål för undersökningen. Där jag främst försökt gestalta innehållet med textsättning och typografi. Resultatet består i något jag vill likna vid ett arkiv över undersökningens informations - , dokumentations - och texturval.
Den sköna nya tiden 2013
(2013-02-18) Rahnberg, Elin; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
2013. The brave new time. We constantly look forward in time. There is a need today to constantly renew, replace and update almost everything in our lives. Although often stressful, these continual changes and upgrades can open up new possibilities and even be seen as enjoyable and stimulating. Values, opinions, and everything we create, is based on an experience of the past and predictions of what the future might be. I want to take advantage of these thoughts and find out how they relate to our exchangeable culture. My project is based on a set of conversations with four individuals about a near future. My aim is to create an understanding of the conversation as method and form. Is the time ever right?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/life - Den levande boken
(2013-02-18) Dahl, Carolina; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
Http : // en.wikipedia.org / wiki / Life is a book with a life of its own. It is made to raise questions about the importance of the book, and the paper book in particular. It is a design project in which a new design method is being tested and evaluated. The intention of the project is to determine whether a concept can be found and evolved from a chosen subject or not. The aim of the book project is also to investigate if the form and content of the book could be entwined, making it impossible to separate them from each other.
Pivot - en aktiv sittmöbel för kontorsmiljö
(2013-02-18) Wästfelt, Carl; Göteborgs universitet/HDK - Högskolan för design och konsthantverk; Göteborg University/HDK - School of Design and Crafts
The purpose of this project was to invite a changed perception of active sitting, to introduce a more active way of sitting in office environments and destigmatize an active sitting posture such as straddling by giving active sitting products conscious aesthetics based on environment and positive associations. The goal with this project was an active sitting product for office environments with aesthetics considered encouraging to movement in a relaxed way, regardless of age and gender, and connect to materials and aesthetics related to activity, experience and recreation. Horseback riding, retro style surfing and skateboarding was an entry of investigation. The project was based on existing active sitting products, their function and production techniques. It was not a part of the project to investigate new models of sitting. This resulted in Pivot, a three legged active saddle chair for office environments with its aesthetic origins in retro style longboarding and horseback riding.
