• Exhibition; Tesselations and Repetitive structures in Jewellery

  by Marianne Forrest

  An exhibition of Jewellery made with 3D printing techniques and digital technologies. Wild, wonderful and sometimes vibrant responses to the brief of Tesselations and Repetitive structures. The work shown is by students from London Metropolitan University using rapid prototyping for the first time. All are involved in their own style of creative process and are keen to show off their newest creations.

  Questions answered :
  How can new technologies be used to craete new jewellery previously impossible to make by hand? How does it answer the context of exhibition and wearability?

• Table Top: Open design - science engagement

  by Robert Phillips

  The public are engaging with the process of manufacturing their own products through digital fabrication. When people have this much freedom to create their own objects, who has the responsibility for their disposal? Open design is embracing this democratisation of innovation and enabling people to make their own products with greater ease: this maker movement will soon change the way we think about products. This approach is not a replacement for mass manufacture but an extension of what is achievable with a new toolbox, solving different problems and addressing new needs. These digital tools are enabling participants with limited skill to create objects… but are they products yet?

  Questions answered :
  Engaging with a wider audience, widening participation, the ability to bounce concepts off a wider audience and predictions of how this could work in the future.

• How to be pixel perfect.

  by Matt Gypps

  Pixels are the building blocks of all the visual design we do here at ustwo™, but are so often relegated to mere afterthought in the excitement of working with colours and styles. We believe in inducting all our designers into the school of pixels with our Pixel Perfect Precision™ (PPP™) guide. The aim of this showcase is to bring to everyone’s attention the PPP™ document and to give pixels the care and attention they deserve, to make sure we get the simple things right.

  Questions answered :
  How to be pixel perfect when designing?
