Your Brief:
The Design Museum has contacted you as it wishes to put on a 2023 exhibition titled ‘Inside Outside’ showcasing younger designers.
They wish to display work from three disciplines:
The requirement of the exhibitions is as follows:
- Designs sheets and project developments- making prototypes and showing developments of design, initial ideas/designs. Recording ideas through sketches, photographs, sample materials, CAD, modelling and annotations.
- A final outcome for the exhibition which captured the theme of inside outside
Helpful tips
Remember you are choosing one of three projects in this booklet. The title page, mind map and Image board is the first parts to complete.
You will then choose 4 designers to research. Once you have completed your research pages you can then produce a range of outcomes to go alongside them.
Outcomes can be drawings, models or sketchup pieces. Once you have completed your 4 research pages and 4 outcomes, you then produce a range of initial sketches/experiments. This should tell you where you want to go for your project.

Grade boundaries
1. Title page
Create an interesting Title page that shows off your ability in 3D design.
Add your name, your project title and one good image.
Tips for a Title page
Remember you can put your image as a background, this will help to keep the text on top.
Don’t forget to choose a high resolution image. This can be done by picking an image using the tools button on google images. Make sure you pick the large image as the size so it is really
Make sure you right click on the image and choose order> bring to back.
This will help with making the background look amazing against your title and name.
2. Mind Map
Every mind map requires words but you must put them in different categories to help with the overall look of the mind map. Each word joins to another word! Don’t just join words to the middle without it connecting to the subheadings.
3. Image board
Depending on the project you need to include 20 images joined together as a collage on your slide. You must make sure that you include images that link to the theme of:

ADORNMENT
NORA FOK
Nora Fok is an artist who expresses her ideas in a personal and distinctive way. She has a unique ability to translate ideas into delightful delicate and intricate compositions which one immediately associates with her.��Nora works at home in Hove, on the sunny south east coast of England, she uses no mechanical equipment, all her work is carried out by hand processes, with only basic tools.��She is intrigued by the world around her; she also asks questions and tries to find answers to them. She is fascinated by different aspects of nature, structure, systems and order, and the mysteries and magic which she sets out to capture in her work. They are often quite complicated requiring many hours, days or weeks to produce and she has the necessary dedication to see her ideas through. She likes to draw attention to the very ordinary to make something special by presenting it in her own way. Her approach is not scientific; she combines her discoveries intuitively with her personal technical skills to produce her unique pieces.
Collect images of nature and create a textile response to Nora Fok, how can you adapt a natural form into a wearable piece of design? Think carefully about the materials and function of the piece. Create a design sheet and produce three working drawings minimum.
WORKING DRAWING EXAMPLES
FRED BUTLER
Fred Butler studied Fashion Design BA(Hons) at the Faculty of Arts between 1999 and 2003.
Butler has a growing reputation as a props stylist and accessories designer with her own company, Fred Butler Style. She works with art directors, stylists and photographers to create imaginative one-off pieces for fashion stories to enhance the aesthetic of fashion shoots. Her work is characterised by the inclusion of everyday object to create a kitsch yet elegant aesthetic.
Butler describes her one-of-a-kind jewellery and headpieces as both art and accessories: “Wearable sculpture, intricate textures, material manipulation, graphic shape and pattern, strong colour contrast with black and white highlights, iridescence and metallics.”
Butler lives and works in London and she has made accessories for clients including Lady GaGa, designing her blue telephone headpiece featured in her video for her song Telephone with Beyonce. She has also designed for singers Björk, Beth Ditto and Nicki Minaj.
During her studies at Brighton she undertook an internship with designer, Shona Heath and New York design collective As Four. Butler said: It was the first time I’d met people with the same aesthetic as me. It was exciting”.
As part of their 2012 Olympic celebrations, sportswear company Adidas, chose Butler as one of nine designers to take part in ‘Miadidas Customisers’, a real-time art project uniting artists and designers with athletes and fans from around the world to produce unique customised shoes embodying a winning moment at the Games.
At the London Autumn/Winter Fashion Week show in 2012 she offered an experience bringing together fashion, music and art described by a member of the fashion press as “A psychedelic approach to colour and boundary-defying perspective, create accessory-focused art pieces, completely unique within the current-day fashion landscape.”
Collect images of everyday objects from magazines, photographs and postcards, alongside swatches of fabrics, papers and plastics to create a Butler inspired outcome. Think about how you can change the practicality and functionality of an everyday object and adapt it to create a piece of body adornment. Create a drawing to show how your product will look.
Other artists have adapted objects too…
MARJORIE SCHICK
(August 29, 1941 – December 17, 2017) was an innovative American jewelry artist and academic who taught art for 50 years. Approaching sculptural creations, her avant-garde pieces have been widely collected. Her works form part of the permanent collections of many of the world's leading art museums.
In addition to her teaching, Schick developed a world-wide reputation as a jewelry artist, creating works which were more like body sculptures than traditional jewelry. Her conception of pieces allowed her work to be displayed on the body while simultaneously interacting with it, rather than simply being worn as an adornment. As one of the innovators who moved jewelry craftsmanship away from metals in the 1960s, she experimented with a wide variety of materials, including papier-mâché, wooden dowels, rubber, string, and canvas. Her large-scale works were typically brightly coloured and represented a modernist abstract aesthetic.
Create a interactive design that can be worn, consider the geometric forms and how they can interconnect. Create a design sheet, include swatches and working drawings of how this body adornment works. In your design sheet you must annotate in detail the steps you took to make your design link to Majorie.
SCULPTURE/PRODUCT DESIGN
PHILIPPE STARCK
A French designer known since the start of his career in the 1980s for his interior, product, industrial and architectural design including furniture.
The son of an aeronautical engineer, Starck studied at the École Camondo in Paris. An inflatable structure he imagined in 1969 was a first incursion into questions of materiality, and an early indicator of Starck's interest in where and how people live. In the same year, Pierre Cardin appointed Starck as the art director of his furniture sector.
Reinvent or design a new product inspired by the industrial stylisted approach of Stark, think about a domestic object and create a design sheet including the materials and dimensions of your product/sculpture
THOMAS HEATHERWICK
Design a piece of sculpture/product that will benefit the people of London in a Heatherwick style. This could be redesigning one of Heatherwick projects or creating something new. Create design sheets and include measurements and materials.
ARCHITECTURAL/LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Morag Myerscough
Morag seems to see no boundaries within the various disciplines that she works in, whether it’s architectural, art-based, product or experience design.
Morag’s work is influenced by a wide variety of movements and styles. She loves the energy and radical, free expression that design had back in the 1960’s. This anti-formalist, ‘anything goes’ attitude can be seen in many of her projects. On the eclecticism of her work she says: “Challenges keep my design fresh and I am always open to the unexpected. I never approach a job with any preconceptions. It is important to find the best way to work on a project, not be constrained by set formulas from the outset. I relish in productive collaborations and trust.”
Design a space that incorporates the eclectic style of Myerscough, design a space that needs more colour and positive energy that already exists. Use your drawing or sketchup skills to create a dynamic piece.
ZAHA HADID�
She was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 2004. She received the UK's most prestigious architectural award, the Stirling Prize, in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, she was made a Dame by Elizabeth II for services to architecture, and in 2015 she became the first and only woman to be awarded the Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects
She was described by The Guardian of London as the 'Queen of the curve', who "liberated architectural geometry, giving it a whole new expressive identity. Her major works include the aquatic centre for the London 2012 Olympics, Michigan State University's Broad Art Museum in the US, and the Guangzhou Opera House in China. Some of her designs have been presented posthumously, including the statuette for the 2017 Brit Awards, and several of her buildings were still under construction at the time of her death, including the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar, a venue for the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Design a building inspired by nature, include the inspiration and annotations similar to Hadid’s drawings. Explain your intentions.
ROBERTO BURLE
Roberto Burle Marx (August 4, 1909 – June 4, 1994) was a Brazilian landscape architect (as well as a painter, print maker, ecologist, naturalist, artist and musician) whose designs of parks and gardens made him world famous. He is accredited with having introduced modernist landscape architecture to Brazil. He was known as a modern nature artist and a public urban space designer. His work had a great influence on tropical garden design in the 20th century. Water gardens were a popular theme in his work. He was deftly able to transfer traditional artistic expressions such as graphic design, tapestry and folk art into his landscape designs. He also designed fabrics, jewellery and stage sets.
Create geometric design for a landscape, use card to create a relief of the design and consider the environment elements that will be used, water, rocks, trees etc. Or use Sketchup or your drawing skills to create a flat interesting landscape.
