Wrigley's Packaging Project:
The brief was to design packaging for Wrigley's extra chewing gum that would eliminate or help to reduce the increasing problem of gum litter on our streets. Part of the packaging design had to incorporate some type of disposable element in which the user could store the used gum once it was finished.
The designs could be targeted at different audiences for example those going on a night out or driving in the car etc. I chose to target my design for in the car. The simplistic idea is that the packaging can be stuck to the dashboard of the car and can removed easily. The used gum can be placed into the back of the packet for
disposal later on.

Inclusive Worlds Project:
A project to radically re-design the NHS bedside cabinet not only in terms of aesthetics and functionality but in a way in which design impacts upon patients within the hospital to improve their rate of recovery.
Clean and sterile are two words that are almost impossible to associate with the current bedside units within most hospitals. I have designed an alternative which is manufactured from a polypropylene that is impregnated with MRSA antibacterial killing agents utilising current material technologies. The cabinet is a smooth curved design and is not only easy to use but also attractive and slim line so that it can fit within the spaces between the beds following the BS-standard for hospital bedside cabinet design. The lock is also revolutionary as it utilises fingerprint recognition which means no keys to lose!
A final advantage to the cabinets is that it uses lighting which is re-chargeable requiring no-batteries which is also low maintenance so that patients can always find belongings and have light to read by.
