All students will start this week to generate creative product ideas for their chosen project themes. We’ve got life drawing to help with the sketching and a Creativity Day tomorrow – all the rules and norms to be changed in an effort to see things from bew perspectives. Also a digital detox – no mobiles – as we try and avoid distractions. Should be a fun week – try it!!
With one week left to go, the countdown to our exhibition begins!
As part of Brighton’s Fringe festival, 47 final year students will be showcasing their products for public view.
We have a diverse range of innovative products in development, some of which have the potential to save lives.
The exhibition runs from 11am to 8pm on Friday 31st May, in the Design Studio in the Cockcroft Building at the University of Brighton, BN2 4GJ. Invites to the exhibition can be found below.
Events will be held throughout the day such as guest speakers and idea generation sessions.
We hope to see you next Friday!
Ben Watson of 3M came along to give us a guest lecture today. Ben is involved in research and development and new product development at 3M – a company recently acclaimed as third most innovative in the world (third only to giants Google and Apple).
Ben talked us through 3M’s culture of innovation and creativity, and methods of how thinking outside of the box can be stirred within a business environment. He showed us some innovation models that we could apply to our projects, urged us to take risks, and reassured us that failing was okay so long as we “fail better” the next time.
3M are a colossal company, with one of their products being within at least 12 feet of you at any given time. So having Ben come over to take the time to talk to us was much appreciated.
