After presenting my 4 Projects in 4 Days (4×4) in class today, I have more ideas and inspiration to move forward with some of my projects: Craft and market the recycled-packaging notebooks. Create some sort of closing mechanism for notebooks (rubberband? wire wrapper?). Design and implement repurpose.cc. Try to create a post-per-day or small community. […]
Concept: Show the life of a product, inspired by The Story of Stuff Project and Cradle to Cradle, by William McDonough & Michael Braungart. Strategy: Illustrate the consumption to waste process as an animatic Manifestion: Created using hand-drawn sketches put in a timeline in AfterEffects. The Life of an iPod from Tami on Vimeo.
Concept: Create a forum for Repurposing project ideas Strategy: Build a website to post project ideas, create a community for repurpose-ers Manifestation: I purchased the domain “repurpose.cc” to make sure that I can realize this project in the future, and at a convenient domain name. My original structure for the site can be seen on […]
