Equipment usedfor deep sea expeditions

Exhibit design is fundamental for many industries, whether they are mayor corporations or small businesses. Mayor corporations spend thousands of dollars on the assistance of designing firms who specialize in exhibit design. Other places that used the help of designers for exhibits are museums, galleries, mayor chain retailers and others. The objective of this project was to design the exhibit facilities, within an area of 100’ by 200’ museum floor. Deep sea being the topic, all rooms needed to be designed to accommodate the theme, and interest the public.

Deep SeaIdeation

Inspiration

Most images used as inspiration for the creation of the floor design of the entire exhibit, where actual deep sea exhibits have been available to the public on numerous occasions.

The idea behind some of these concepts, was to create an atmosphere of intrigue to the public. I thought of this by having the exhibit on two floors. The top floor arranged in small rooms of information that would prepare the public for the end of the exhibit… on the bottom floor “Deep Floor”.

Deep SeaRenderings

Inspiration

Logo design for exhibit advertisement

Quick renderings where used to come up with a color scheme, that would complement the exhibit and would attract the public. Throughout time, color has always been a powerful tool to stimulate the mind. Usually dark colors create curiosity, and anxiety.

A floor plan was used to have a proper layout of every room and the entire exhibit. The floor plan was also used to see where a possible kiosk would be needed.

The final outcome of this project was a ¼ scale mock-up that illustrates the entire exhibit. The materials used for the creation of this mock-up where, foam board, fiber glass foam, several 3d prototype models, plastics and wood.

Solage ChairFurniture Design

Centuries ago, before industrial and technical advances of society, Early humans had a connection with earth, and a profound understanding for the benefits of their surroundings. Sun, Wind, Rain, and other natural elements were, and are, part of living. Lets make these fortunes of our planet part of the big scope of furniture.

Objective:

Solage ChairIdeation

Form Studies

Most furniture serves a purpose… like sitting, reclining, sofa beds etc. Inspired by actual working models, and new modern concepts of chairs and recliners, I’m trying to create a chair/ recliner, that also has the capabilities and functionalty of being a storage unit. it is also a source of independent energy by the usage of photovoltaic cells.

Solage ChairIdeation

Form studies

I selected three final concepts for future development as part of my thesis. The first concept is the one I find the most interesting becauseof the shape of each part. I had ambitioned a chair that not only does what it was designed for, but it also has functionality and green environment applications.

Flexible solar cells range in size, current, voltage, and encapsulating material. They are created by depositing amorphous silicone on a plastic substrate and then encapsulated with either Polyester or tefzel. They are paper thin and they can wrap around any curved surface.

The WeatherPro solar series was built for permanent fixture in the outdoors, as the Tefzel coating has a rated lifespan of 20 years.These cells can be arrangedin a parallel connection oftwo or three similar modules,to increase the output voltage.

Design made out of rotational molded polyethylene

Polyethylene is the most popular plastic in the world. This is the polymer that makes grocery bags, shampoo bottles, children's toys, and even bullet proof vests.Sometimes it's a little more complicated. Some of the carbons, instead of having hydrogens attached to them, will have long chains of polyethylene attached to them. This is called branched, or low-density polyethylene, or LDPE. When there is no branching, it is called linear polyethylene, or HDPE. Linear polyethylene is much stronger than branched polyethylene, but branched polyethylene is cheaper and easier to make.

Electrical Schematics Solage ChairCAD Model

The initial thought was to make the chair out of wood. thinking about size and weight, manufacturing in wood does not seem possible. The alternative material is Polyethylene, which would help with the problem of weight, and also would help in the sense of durability.

Bag ClipProduct Design

Objective

Smal items loss prevention Bag clip, product will vary in size, small, medium and large bags.

Sensormatic Retail Solutions

Sensormatic has been in the loss prevention,and operational improvement technologies with more than 1,500 patents.Most of Sensormatic solutions portfolioit is sold through ADT and authorized business partners around the world.

80 percent of the worlds 200 retailers that use EAS (Electronic Article Survei-llance) rely on sensormatic. Some of their EAS solutions include source-tagging,data analystics and in-store, item-level intelligence applications.

Sensormatic its part of the Tyco family developing and promoting a diverse work environment, that reflects the global community.

Sensormatic Line of Products

Per the designing engineer, the above product needed a more pleasant and ergonomically look to it. Considering the space needed for the internal components, as well as the locking mechanism; the product must be enjoyable and easy to use, conserving Sensormatic loss prevention alarm techniques.

Bag ClipIdeation

First concepts

The prototype i was given, lacked of any ergonomic studies. The inner plastic membrane was the starting locking mechanism. The above concepts were mainly based on giving a more ergonomically friendly look to the design. Taking into consideration how it will be used and handled by their users; Also thinking about its effectiveness as a loss prevention sensormatic product.

In the second face of ideation for this product, we took into consideration, the fact that there will be different size bags, in order to accommodate bigger products. I base my concepts on making the brains of the mechanism a standard size, and having wings that can be changed in size to fullfill the different sizes needed.

Combo DetacherProduct Design

ObjectiveDepartment stores and other industries that used both products, often find themselves with several detachers. Confusion is often the case for cashiers and other users of these products. The combination of both products is the intent, focusing on usability in order to minimize problems at check point locations.

The ultra tag was developed to address a wide variety ofsecurity applications. It was designed through extensive customer input;based on high security, ease of application, and ease of removal.

Form Studies

Design Specs:There where no design constrains when it came to concept generation for this product, the only component which couldn’t be changed, was the sensormatic magnet unit. The competitor’s product could be altered in any way; the important thing here was to have both units completely usable and functional within their specifications.

Combo DetacherIdeation

Form studies

The study of forms was useful when it came to concept generation. Even though products are not all the same, they still need to follow ergonomic rules to function and feel properly. The ring idea was most favored after the first concept generation, some modifications where needed as the engineer got a better look at what the ending product would be.

Ideation Combo DetacherCompetitive Product

The alpha product is a very simple product, with a complete different set of magnets, which works to its particular tags. It was necessary to take the product apart and study what things where needed for the new design, as well as the space required for these components. Per the engineer’s request, the orientation of the magnets needed to change to face upward, especially when it came to its functionality.

Ring picked by engineer to be design.

Environmental Studies Combo DetacherCad Model

CAD model was designed in PRO/E, two parts housing for the internal components of the original alpha handkey s3.

An image of the Sensormatic detacher, plus a rendering of the new alpha ring, was digitally adjusted to have a realistic interpretation of the two products together.
