My girlfriend had several ideas on what she wanted for her invite. Something naturesque, possibly include her favorite color – celery green, and she wanted to do something with sunflowers. In addition, she was having a baby boy, but didn't want it to scream "baby blue" everywhere. And this is where I ended up for the invite and colors. There are three dominant colors: baby blue, sunny yellow and celery green.
As always, I had to add my own personal twist to the invite by adding some fun, cute verbiage to tie all the elements together. And this is how it goes, "Once upon a time, we were told a story about the Birds and the Bees, but this October eighteenth, we get to celebrate one of nature's acts come to life for Mira and Kapil."

At the Simmons Homes Design Studio, you will be able to create the home you have always wanted, with the features that will best enhance your life style. Make one appointment and focus on all your decisions in a comfortable, stress-free environment, with one selection logically leading to the next until you have created the integrated, coordinated décor that is really "you". To ensure quality, we feature a wide selection of the most recognized and trusted brand names available.
Not only do our homebuyers have the convenience of “one stop shopping”, but they also have a Design Consultant to guide them through the selection process, simplifying the multitude of decisions to be made.
Design sessions are scheduled in advance and typically require 2-4 hours to complete and will be scheduled within 10 days of purchase.
iPlay V1
Our design had to be cheap to manufacture, with minimal manufacture processes and a low overall cost. Keeping this in mind I sketched my basic idea and then rendered it. After exporting the DXF files I lasercut them and had my first prototype.
There is an everlasting debate amongst gamers as to which console and controller is the best. I found that the PS3 controller was the most popular second being Xbox 360. The PS3 controller is symettrical unlike the Xbox controller and is so ergonomoic you can often forget you are holding it.
I illustrated the PS3 controller outline to kickstart the CAD process. My design consists of 3 layers of 5mm acrylic creating an iphone cavity depth of 10mm (iPhone 4 has a thickness of 9.3mm) and an overall thickness of 15mm. The structure would be held together with tight fit acrylic rods. I need to carry out test pieces on 2.99+-0.1mm radii to decide what are the best dimensions to use for these slots bearing in mind the lasercutter burns away material.
The whole in the bottom layer is so the device can be pushed out from the case after use.
V2
I asked some students to test the V1 prototype. They liked the product especially its simplicity. There were points that I could develop and improve.
Not all iPhone games auto orientate, hence it was essential I adapted my design so the phone could be rotated 180 degress. This would be easy by simply duplicating the button slots.
In addition to this there was no camera hole. If I were to introduce a camera holeto the design it would have to be duplicated 180 degrees to ensure photos could be taken no matter what orientation the iPhone was.
Taking this on board I designed and manufactured iPlay V2. Although acrylic rod would create a tight fit, 4 drops of dichloromethane would chemically weld the components together for a long lasting permanent fit. After this I used a buffing wheel to create round edges making the product more ergonomic to hold.
V3
Once again I asked some students for feedback on my prototype. They were impressed with how I addressed the previous issues. The only negative point raised was that it would not fit in your pocket. This was the next challenge I faced.
I considered hinging the lower two arms and making them lock into the back of the case. However this would make the design more complex and increase cost and manufacturing processes.
I moved the top pair of holes further up to better distribute the stress. I decided to split the product in half. My V3 model has alternating layers this creates cavities that allow it to be locked together together when not in use as photographed. This would easily fit in you pocket.
The problem the alternating layers created is a less ergonomic shape. Secondly there was nothing holding the two half together when placed on the phone.
In my V4 model I introduced a rubber band which kept the two half together when on the phone. It would also prevent one half form being lost. This created a new problem; the top half of the rubber band would not always line up as there was nothing guiding it. This was my next problem to solve.
V4
My final model would be made from acrylic but I was not going to buff it as that would add a manufacture process and would siginificanty increase the manufacture time. Since I was already using the laser cutter for cutting my components I thought I may aswell engrave some sort of graphics onto the top layer. I decided to remove the gaps in between the layers to make it better to hold and to remodel the rubberband tracks.
V5
I solved the problem of the inconvenient rubber band with two more locating rods on the top. These extra rods would keep the rubber band guided along the correct track. I made a MDF prototype to test my idea and it worked successfully even with coffee stirrers replicating the acrylic rod.
Satisfied with my idea I finally created an acrylic version. This required a bit more thought than previously as I had to accomodate for the thick rubber band. I decided to use 3mm acrylic instead of 5mm to create a thinner profile. This meant I needed a total of 5 layers to accomodate an iPhone 4.
Since I was already using a lasercutter and I wanted the product to appeal to gamers I decided to engrave some patterns. I was going to use a translucent coloured acrylic for the bottom layer and adjust the design so that it covers the camera and flash. This way the case will act as a camera filter and the flash/torch will produce coloured light.
Now that the product was split into halfs the individual components were so small that cutting a single iPlay V5 uses less than an A4 sized amount of 3mm acrylic (the 2D Design screenshot has an A3 page layout). This also meant that it would fit both an iPhone 4 & 5 as the rubber can stretch to accomodate for an iPhone 5. Apart from the height of the iPhone 5 the dimensions are very similair to those of the 4.
I am very pleased with the final product and getting through to the next stage with KFDS. If I were to develop the product further I would find a way to lock the two halves together when not on the phone. This could be done like a jigsaw puzzle or by manipulating the rods into a dowel joint.

In 2008 Moet Hennessy commissioned Lemonade to refresh their Cape Mentelle Wines brand identity. The result is a classic yet contemporary take on their premium offering.
we were approached by Nottingham Trent University and their Fashion students to create a book that would be used to showcase the work of their graduates. The book itself was created using a selection of GF Smith paper stocks and various printing techniques including silkscreening, spot varnish and embossing providing the book with a wonderful texture. Our design followed a tight gridded layout with bold typography with provided a clean, professional platform for the graduates work.
