This university assignment was titled 'People Fusion' in which we were assigned two groups of people to research and explore and eventually find a link between the two. I was assigned Droog Design and Monty Python two very interesting groups of people and there were a number of strong links between the group both abstract and concrete.
After I had conducted much of my research, I choose the follow the link that both Droog and Monty Python subvert thier 'normal' lines of work. For example Monty Python subvert the rules of comedy and go against what the audience expect and Droog Design subject the expected outcomes of product design creating intuitive and interesting products.
The final outcome of this project was a conceptualised producted named 'Multimedia Eggs' which uses Eggs in a subverted way to create a connected network of home appliances. While the manufacture of the products themselves was out of my skill range, I decided to produce a brand for the products and also research into how they would work. This manifested itself into a website which outlined the concept of the product as well as establishing its branding.
As well as the overall brand identity I designed other aspects including icons for the different eggs 'modules' that would be included with the product.
I also devised a control panel that would control the system using the icon designs for each module to easily allow people to understand. A summary of how this would work with the other parts of the system was included on the site reflecting my research into the technologies needed to make it work.
