For my AS Level Product Design project i had to design and make a jewelry box. After many initial design ideas and countless sketches of different concepts, I chose to develop my idea of a grand piano.
I used measurements from an actual grand piano in the music department at my school and was able to scale down the shape in order to maintain the correct proportions.
The keyboard section is made from acrylic that was cut and engraved using a laser cutter, the black trimmings above and below the keyboard I decided to engrave (also using the laser cutter) with lyrics from the popular Billy Joel song 'Piano Man'.
To document the progress for product design A Level, instead of using an online blog as it is more challenging to brain storm ideas and drawings, I used an A3 written coursework folder. Unfortunately this means I can't provide a link to more of my work for this project but will be able to post pictures of design development pages.
I enjoyed this project because it allowed me to create a physical piece of work that started as an idea and I am able to see a result of all the planning and work I put into it, which is most rewarding.
