Radio Redoux

Last semester the class completed the Radio Redoux brief set to us by the Product Design lecturers at Dundee University. We were asked to redesign a radio and given a lot of freedom to do so. The constraints were size of the circuit board we had to use and the fact that the tuning potentiometer could not be moved from it's original solder.

My solutions rationale reads as follows:























Here is my final solution render:














This is my working prototype finished in 'any shade between black and white' as required in the brief:



























And finally this is the intended user interaction with my radio (click to enlarge):

As a class the standard was very high and all looked fantastic. There was a huge verity in the designs too. Click this link to see Steven Hogg's interpretation of the brief. Eight of the radios are now featured in the main PD corridor (level 7, Matthew Building) and this photo does not do it justice.
