IMAGE BOARD

ConceptLife is moving circle like paper windmill, with different colors and has good and bad times , but that should not stop us creating happiness.

Why this ? The movement of pinwheel will always reminds you to keep going in life. Use of bright colours will always make you happy.

Jury feedbackA simplifed version of the physical concept of the trophy and explore more materials like stainless steel . The jury belives the design will get more classier if it had just one pinwheel.

Final concept and justification Use of solid ribbon , is not just for visual appeal .It has been placed to complement the pinwheel , it gives a feeling of wining trophy to a person. Ribbon has a flow form which complete the spacewith pinwheel . It has it own happiness and cheerfulness.

MaterialUse of glass material for ribbon form , so that pinwheel is given emphasis at the same time ribbon has its flow theme around it , so it look lighter.

Things i do

Desart is a non- profit organisation which aims at helping children get closer to their creative thoughts, by exposing them to an environment that encourages them to think out of the box.The idea was initiallyformed by a few college students,inspired by a couple of children who seemed to be trying to express their ideas with sand and sticks. The students then decided to give kids a common platform where they could share their creations and their imagination.
