The other two I am a little more troubled by. I have done a really vague business flow one diagram but I think it only sort of gets the ideas across. I guess part of the reason it is still a little vague is that I have made a shift in my approach the the problem of putting this concept into a business. Instead of making it a profitable company I have decided to create a system that allows people who fall into my customer group to better take advantage of the weakness in the system that I have isolated. That being the fact that lots of dentists have spare old tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I have completed something for 2 out of 3. The third one however I am a little concerned about. I suppose on approach would suggest that there is no really business model and so no postcard is needed but I think that might be less preferable. Perhaps I should outline the business on a different level, describing the exchange that will go on in a more existential manner. One key point is that although no money will be changing hands necessarily, something will always be moving from the user to the designer or consumer to provider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case. I have not printed and though I will include more than 3 postcard images here I have not finished my third one yet. I intend to finish up and have them printed by Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please comment and please click below to see the gallery of cards so far.

Post Jpegs of your three revised postcards on to the by product blog &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2. This means you will need to become a member if you are not already - I will send you an invite.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3. Take your printed postcards to class (maybe meet at the jail and then move on to a cafe or something) and spend some time reviewing / giving feedback to each others designs. Uses the questions below to frame your review.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4. Put your printed postcards in an envelope and bring them to my office at some stage on Wednesday (87.4.07) -&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I will be there in the afternoon so we can have a chat about your design work.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;REVIEW QUESTIONS&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;1. does the business model make sense? Are the "inputs" (costs/overheads etc) covered by income from realistic sales projections? Are the volumes of production matched by appropriate methods of production? Does the business look profitable?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;2. Is the production process communicated complete? Does it include all aspects of production and distribution?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;3. Do the cards communicate the idea / design / brand position effectively? Has the student dealt with graphic presentation and printing professionally (ie: does it look like a real design proposition?) If not why not?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;4. What works well with the design? What needs attention?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;5. Is it an interesting design project? Is it well conceived? What aspects of the concept should be amplified to increase it's market impact?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;6. What other ways can you suggest for the product to be produced (can the production process be incorporated into the experience of the product - like ikea?)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It is good to do this as a discussion in a group - so do it that way. The cards need to speak for themselves - the designer cannot / should not try to explain/justify their work - it needs to stand on its own.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;If the work is really bad / incomplete then you need to draw the student to that and assist them in refining the design work.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778140941982598083-1391339639883450014?l=byproductelective.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/feeds/1391339639883450014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7778140941982598083&amp;postID=1391339639883450014' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/1391339639883450014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/1391339639883450014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/2007/04/2-nd-of-may.html' title='2 nd of may'/><author><name>Liam Fennessy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04996974676267076253</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778140941982598083.post-11982905074390898</id><published>2007-04-26T12:34:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2007-04-26T12:38:08.414+10:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='update'/><title type='text'>TO DO FOR NEXT WEEK</title><content type='html'>Hi All,&lt;br /&gt;I apologise for the delay in getting this to you - but you have the best part of a week to do what is asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so Simone is off in Europe, handing out postacrds of your design propsitions (for those of you that did them). There is a considerable amount of work in doing this - Simone is essentially acting as an agent for your design work to businesses - no easy task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the work is good, some is really bad - but you all have a lot to do to bring your design work up to a standard that has any real substance as a viable design proposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here is what to do (those of you at the last class know this already)&lt;br /&gt;1. You All need to redo your postcards. you need to force yourselves into learning about the printing and pre press design - form the postcards that I recieved there was only one or two that did not have serious flaws in the ways that they were constructed (colour formats, bleed allowance, file sizes, font transfer, image quality etc etc) - this is something that you absolutley need to get good at.&lt;br /&gt;2. You need to get your postcards printed (double sided colour) through a digital print company (snap, dinkums, kinkos etc)&lt;br /&gt;3. You need to develop your design propositions.&lt;br /&gt;4. you need to make sure that the design make sense in terms of its market value, cost to produce, materials supply, purpose etc (ie - you need to actually design it  - most ideas are still fairly flimsy and they need to be seriously reconsidered)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;For the next class You MUST have:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;1. a Double sided A6 Postcard that presents your design / product&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;2. a Double sided A6 Postcard that discusses the products BUSINESS MODEL (ie, who is it for, how much does it cost, how many are you producing, how is the 'concept' and the 'material' tied into the brand position&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 255, 153);"&gt;3.a Double sided A6 Postcard that presents the MATERIAL - MANUFACTURING  - DISTRIBUTION - MARKET PROCESS (the entire process)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the postcards must be professionally printed on 150-350 gsm card&lt;br /&gt;You must include trim marks&lt;br /&gt;you must include 5mm of Bleed&lt;br /&gt;Your images must be 300dpi minimum&lt;br /&gt;Your files must be CMYK colour format&lt;br /&gt;You must take into account the difference in on screen luminosity and print&lt;br /&gt;You must make sure that all information is correct&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This work will form aspects of your final buisness model analysis document due soon&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778140941982598083-11982905074390898?l=byproductelective.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/feeds/11982905074390898/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7778140941982598083&amp;postID=11982905074390898' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/11982905074390898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/11982905074390898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/2007/04/to-do-for-next-week.html' title='TO DO FOR NEXT WEEK'/><author><name>Liam Fennessy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04996974676267076253</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778140941982598083.post-7765798187867554516</id><published>2007-04-02T19:08:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2007-04-02T19:14:13.274+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Haley's idea</title><content type='html'>There are a few photos of my product on my &lt;a href="http://studieself.blogspot.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; if you have time or have anything to say feel free to comment.

We would be very appreciative of anything you have to offer. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;     &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;   Many Thanks, &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;   Mark Whiting &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;     &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;   Mobile: this was in the real email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;   Email: S3078530 the rest was in the real email&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778140941982598083-9000080363564276264?l=byproductelective.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/feeds/9000080363564276264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7778140941982598083&amp;postID=9000080363564276264' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/9000080363564276264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/9000080363564276264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/2007/03/new-home-for-old-dental-tools.html' title='A new home for old dental tools'/><author><name>Mark Whiting</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13737132837327784969</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://lh6.google.com/mark.whiting/RtVTcf0zV-I/AAAAAAAABHw/7Ab1asylk5w/s144/BandW.png'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778140941982598083.post-7226072844239377206</id><published>2007-03-16T22:25:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-03-16T22:31:09.424+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='resources'/><title type='text'>superuse.org</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cuttingupknives.com/images/Cutting-Up-Knives.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.cuttingupknives.com/images/Cutting-Up-Knives.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.superuse.org/"&gt;Superuse&lt;/a&gt; is an awesome site / community that you and your products can become a part of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it features things like......&lt;br /&gt;and much more&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="Stil1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cuttingupknives.com/images/cuk.jpg" alt="Cutting up Knives" onload="MM_openBrWindow('quotations.htm','Openers','scrollbars=yes,width=630,height=240')" height="27" width="346" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="Stil1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;produced by Pervisioni&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="Stil1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Story:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cuttingupknives.com/"&gt; Cutting Up Knives&lt;/a&gt; is a production of selected knives, modified to become bottle openers through the application of an industrial process.Each bottle opener is individually chosen and cut.

you do not have the time to get stuck - so you need to get over your stuckness!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so here is an exercise to get you thinking.&lt;br /&gt;1. get a camera (digital)&lt;br /&gt;2. set aside a couple of hours&lt;br /&gt;3. go for a walk in a high denisty residential area (inner city suburb)&lt;br /&gt;4. look for instances of people "fixing" things with other things.&lt;br /&gt;eg.) car wheels bolted to walls for garden hoses to be stored, coat hanger car arials etc&lt;br /&gt;5. photograph every instance (no matter how bizzaar or boring) once and find as many as you can.&lt;br /&gt;6. pull all of these photos into some sort of grid (a 9x9 square matrix works well = 81 photos)&lt;br /&gt;7. print out the matrix and start looking for patterns, methods, materials etc.&lt;br /&gt;8. if you do not have at least 10 new ideas form doing this in a two hour period than you are not utilising your creativity - so force yourself to think - quicky sketch the idea on an A4 page.&lt;br /&gt;9. spread all of your A4 concepts out on the floor and in your mind transplant the idea into a 'high design context" -&lt;br /&gt;10. discard ideas that either simply don't cut it - or those those that easilly fit in that context /market (these will be predictable -and therfore won't work)&lt;br /&gt;11. further develop the ideas that you are unsure about&lt;br /&gt;12. illustrate them&lt;br /&gt;13. apply a material that has some relationship / contrast  to the application&lt;br /&gt;14. go looking for that material&lt;br /&gt;15. make it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;good

material is in some senses a misnomer. The only waste that can really happen in the production of anything from material is in the gradual entropy that occurs in the transfer of energy from one form to another. That is – material is still material even if it is not used – but:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Symbol;font-size:85%;"  &gt;·&lt;span style=""&gt;         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;in not using it there is an expenditure of energy that is not capable of being included in the ‘outcome.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 72pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Symbol;font-size:85%;"  &gt;·&lt;span style=""&gt;         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;There is a gradual degradation /decay / disappearance of material through a process of transference from one form to another&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Deciding that something (material) is not useful is not ‘waste’ unless it is not recaptured and put into another system (ie: it gets suspended in land fill)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In short – There is no such thing as “waste material” – only neglected material resources.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;This “waste material” can be categorized simply in three main ways:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;1.&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Virgin Material waste&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;2.&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Pre-consumer material waste&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;3.&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Post-consumer material waste&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;For a good overview visit: Solid Waste Characterization Database&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/wastechar/MatDefs.htm"&gt;http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/wastechar/MatDefs.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;In each of these categories the material type can further define its capacity for being integrated into a production system. The complexity of the material and its processing systems generally increases as the material / product goes from:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;virgin material  - product  - Pre-consumer material waste (from product manufacture)  --  distribution (product to market / packaging etc) --&lt;br /&gt;poiint of purchase (additional materials) --wear and tear in use-- end of life -- post consumer waste --- being mixed with other waste materials.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Dealing with waste&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;Sources: where do you find a reliable source – this stage requires you to think like a miner – waste material is valuable, and its scarcity can elevate its materal value. (eg.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Highly recyclable materials are generally put back into the system rapidly.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Collection:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;Collecting can be difficult and the input needs to be included in the actual calculation of the value of the material. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;The quantity collected needs to have some relationship to the end product value and the waste stream.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;Collected material may need to be sorted (infrastructure implications)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;The source and process of collection needs to have some relationship / position in the identity of the end product (ie. it becomes part of the product story)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Processing&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;There are over arching two ways to process materials:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;1.&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;Low Input: simple ways of either – cleaning, re-forming, recontextualizing the material in the form in which it is collected&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;2.&lt;span style=""&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;High Input: returning the material to a base state so that a manufacturing process can be used to treat the material as a virgin material might be treated (ie: grinding it up into a material with no real form and forming it / Melting it down / Crushing etc)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Systems:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;The systems designed and deployed are as important as the product you are designing. Without a robust set of systems for: sourcing / supply, collection, materials sorting, manufacture, distribution (taking the product to market) – you don’t really have a product to mention. In all systems there is a process of “loss” – not all material can or will be used (scrap). Energy inputs will be needed to service the systems which must be incorporated into the product cost / business planning.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;So how do you do it?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;You need to project the perceived value / retail price of your design and then compare that against the estimated costs incurred form your processes and systems needed to “make’ the product. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;You need to think of inputs: Time, cash, infrastructure, utilities, expertise etc as all having a dollar value.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:85%;" &gt;If your ‘perceived value’ is less than the cost of delivering it then you need to rethink the product and the systems deployed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="pagebranding" style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The trick is to aim for minimal inputs and maximum return.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Your product idea may take the form of a household or outdoor item, personal item, luxury good, service or facility. (We recommend that you stay away from developing jewellery products and consumables). The market potential of your product idea will be assessed rapidly so it is important that you support your ideas with good research and/or evidence of a prospective market. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Once you have a product idea you will need to attend to its design and resolve a satisfactory prototype. If your product idea is a service or facility you will need to visualise it – produce preliminary design drawings and schematics.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Further to developing your design you will need to develop a narrative for your product. This is where your material research and knowledge of its history is critical. To construct an interesting and appealing story for your market you will need to know how to ‘celebrate’ and reveal the unique qualities and features of your product. This narrative will be used to help ‘pitch’ your product idea to the European market.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Your product design and narrative are packaged together to form 8 pages in an A5 presentation book. You will need to design your own layout and submit 8 copies. Please observe the guidelines faithfully so the book can be bound successfully.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Simone will show the By Product book to retailers, distributors and people of note in Milan during Salone del Mobile in April. This exercise hopes to identify opportunities for trade, trade development and media.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;The more resolved your product idea is the more seriously it will be received!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;D.2 &lt;span style=""&gt;          &lt;/span&gt;Business Flow Chart &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&gt;&gt;Due: May 9&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Now that you have a product idea, design, a story and Simone in Milan toting your ideas you will need to create a flow chart to turn your idea into a business reality!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;A flow chart entails much research and analysis however it can be a liberating and empowering experience to validate your ideas and designs in a commercial context. So you shouldn’t underestimate the role of design in your flow chart – the objective is to find the best possible streams for production, distribution and point of sale. The objective is to find the cleanest, fastest, most economical and reliable streams for all the material and labour inputs in your product. At this point you may start to think twice about your product and adapt your design or production to some new revealed conditions.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Your flow chart is to be a professional ‘working’ document. It will change according to external and internal conditions so, it should be formatted to make editing easy. You will be shown some examples.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;D.3 &lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;Serial batch production or analysis and feasibility study &gt;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Due: June 4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; font-weight: normal;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoBodyTextIndent"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;You can decide to pursue one of two directions for deliverable 3. If you are confident that you can fund and achieve batch production for immediate sale then go for it! Otherwise you can continue on from the flow chart and proceed with a feasibility study. A study such as this is often conducted when large sums of money are required to get the product up and running. For those of you who have developed a service or facility idea this will be a vital contribution to marketing your product to potential financiers and investors. Your study will require some serious business analysis and may require business advice. Part of this study might entail identifying a business mentor or advisor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin-left: 0mm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;This elective is structured as a micro design studio. Students will be asked to research, develop, design, prototype and set in place a robust business model for new products produced with minimal intervention from industrial waste for the European high design scene.

While this avenue of design activity has strong links with the sustainability movement, DIY Communities, and design for development, it is really about the business end of design and manufacture. It is about designing commercially robust product systems that have a very high consumer value with minimal overheads and inputs. It is about understanding material, the economics of design and branding. Its about making a practical and profitable contribution to solving our desire to consume buy challenging notions of consumption through design. Its about taking design into areas that are either too messy, smelly, to corrupt for the rest to handle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Key learning objectives&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol style="margin-top: 0mm;" start="1" type="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Enhance lateral thinking;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Develop fast-paced design and entrepreneurial responses to      waste material;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Appreciate material properties and manufacturing processes;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Understand target markets and the demands of servicing high      design retailers and distributors;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Develop a design-relative, material and business vocabulary;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Develop marketing and sales skills;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Be informed of the histories, knowledge and theories that      support, dominate and frame your product;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;You will need to be proactive – conduct work each week and move with the program.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Activities&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul style="margin-top: 0mm;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Discussion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Material ‘play’ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Designing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Reading&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Writing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Meeting industry professionals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;Frequenting high design stores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-AU"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoBodyText2"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Organise a Project Folder – use it to house and compile ALL relevant material.

If you gave this grant to 5 new businesses every year for 5 years (a little over 3 million) - a further 4.5 million would be bought back into the victorian economy at the most conservative estimate - and a very large amount of waste would be intercepted and put back into the system before it got to landfill - so this is sustainability form a completely commercial angle - and it makes for very good business.&lt;br /&gt;So here we are now with simone - and your ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7778140941982598083-6194867380228989289?l=byproductelective.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/feeds/6194867380228989289/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7778140941982598083&amp;postID=6194867380228989289' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/6194867380228989289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7778140941982598083/posts/default/6194867380228989289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://byproductelective.blogspot.com/2007/03/just-to-give-you-some-background-on.html' title=''/><author><name>Liam Fennessy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04996974676267076253</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778140941982598083.post-974179060332355678</id><published>2007-03-02T21:45:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-03-02T21:53:15.319+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='resources'/><title type='text'>Pascal Anson</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.iampascal.com/images/reunification/cutlerygold.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;
