My B-tech year 2015

Halooo..
My name is Rona-Celia Meyer and I am doing my B-tech in Interior Design at NMMU. The year is about discovering yourself, or that is how it feels to me. Designing something you like and doing it for a year can be challenging, but if it is something you love - it will always be worth it!

I am designing an Alzheimer's home, because I am a family orientated person and love to help people. Everything about people draws me in.. I hope to design a space where Alzheimer patients can be free to explore new things and create the optimal living environment...

Here is my process throughout the year...

Computers Video

Our biggest project for computers this semester is to create a video which basically captures your whole years work with regards to the identity of the space to the final design... The idea is to give the lecturers and moderators a feel of your space...

I am busy designing the intro part of my video now, which is actually very exciting because one can do whatever you want and make stuff move! haha... i will post my final video as soon as it is done. :)

The FINAL month

We have crossed out October soon it will be November as well... 

Final Thesis Hand In...

On Friday we had our final thesis hand in, it was one intense week! but we go it done! and now we are in our final month of studying! scary feeling... the next subject that we have to submit is computers  - our first animation and a document on indesign... then it is technology which is the most nerve wrecking of all of them....

Product Design

We got our brief for our product design and we actually need to manufacture one product as if the product can be in an actual shop... The two products I am thinking of is a light and a multi-functional walking trolley type of piece that will help with the balance of the Alzheimer patients. Conceptual sketches and design ideas will follow soon:)
