Four days, five unrelated Sydney stabbing attacks. Seven people dead. Five of the seven dead, Women.Australia is experiencing a surge in domestic violence, with knives and weapons increasingly used against women, including the recent Bondi stabbing. This concerning trend highlights the urgent need for effective personal-safety solutions, both in public and at home. April 2024, the Prime Minister declared a ‘national-crisis’ of violence against women, with ONE woman killed every FOUR days to domestic violence. My MDP aims to develop a range of stab-resistant protective clothing to combat this issue, combining discretion, comfort and style, potentially offering life-saving protection.
The jewellery that you wear in your day to day life requires mining to retrieve the metals needed to produce your rings ,earrings and bracelets. The damage jewellery making creates is more than contamination; it goes on further leading to deforestation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity, not to mention the significant carbon footprint from energy-intensive processes. My goal with WTC JEWELLERY is to show you how I create jewellery that's better for the environment and prove why it's better for the environment through Kombucha scoby, Orange peel, Seaweed and Milk Kefir. This change is the start for bigger changes.
This
beach safety station helps tourists understand basic water safety and first-aid
on Australian beaches. The water safety component includes pictures and
information on ocean conditions and a QR code to access this information in
different languages. The first-aid component includes an insulated box with
first-aid equipment and instructions to assist basic stings and injuries,
taking pressure off lifeguards on busy beaches, and helping people on
unpatrolled beaches.
I
would appreciate advice on future developments of the concept and construction.
I would also appreciate supporting opinions
on the benefit of the design and for the product evaluation in the
folio.
This project aims to tackle housing challenges for Australians aged 18 to 30 by developing affordable, community-centered tiny homes. Designed to reduce stress from the housing crisis, these homes will use sustainable materials, renewable energy, and waste reduction strategies. Shared spaces will foster social connections, financial relief, and mental well-being. The goal is to create high-quality, eco-friendly living environments that meet the needs of young adults. By promoting affordability and sustainability, this project provides an innovative solution tailored to the generation’s preferences, ensuring a supportive and inclusive community while addressing long-term housing and environmental concerns.
Surfing makes up 26% of head injuries as a percent of sports injuries in Australia and 72.7% of my target market believe wearing a helmet surfing has been stigmatised.Additionally, everyday around 8 million pieces of plastic make their way into our oceans.These and many other shocking statistics has inspired me to design a helmet manufactured from recycled plastics and design it's appearance based off what my target market deems 'cool' so that they feel safe and confident wearing a helmet surfing.I am seeking advice from anyone who has experience in molding helmets or putting the components of a helmet together.
The average guitarist wastes an estimated $50 per year due to losing guitar picks, a figure that doesn’t even include losing important guitar accessories such as capos or slides. Additionally, guitar players who travel for performances require a universal storage solution that can hold everything they need, eliminating the stress of losing equipment on the road. This project aims to enhance the on-the-road gig experience by designing a practical, portable organiser to keep essentials secure and easily accessible, with the option for a long-term wall hanging design in the studio or to convert into a pocketed satchel!
