First Year Student Report
November 2001

Your first projects are of quite a high standard, you show good technical abilities and 
a very individual style. This style could also work against you though. It is important that 
you can engage peole in your work. I feel you are perhaps sticking to a previous style of 
work and the main point of the beginning of the course is to try to explore new ideas and 
new methods of realiising them.

This is not meant to criticise the standard of the work you have shown but to try to get 
you to engage in new ways of creating work. In the probes project you should work 
closely with your partner to make fun, absurd, experimental but most of all engaging 
designs for probes. Then in the final part of the project come up with some design 
proposal like the many you did for the food processor which were extreme and 
fun and innovative.
