This is brief documentation of the output of my first three weeks at the Royal College of Art (From now on referred to as the R.C.A.).

Week One

The first brief was a group project designed to help us get to know each other and explore London. The brief was to devise a ‘new way’ for a waiter to use a scanner. Having spoken to several waiters, waitresses and restaurant owners we prototyped the system outlined in the rightmost picture above.

Week Two

Week two and another group project, this time to create an automated shoe shop prototype realistically enough for people to experience buying a pair of shoes. Pictured above is the prototyped animatronic moose head that would pass you your shoes via his antlers.

Week Three

Week three’s brief was an individual project for which I had to design Windows 1900. Taking a Humphrey Repton landscape for a desktop background and drawing a parallel between the workhouses of the 1900s and the old ‘dirty’ code that lies beneath windows, I created Empire.exe an application with the sole purpose of sending telegrams to the far reaches of the British Empire in order maintain the upper-class’ control.
