Brief

You are required to design a high-end personal sound system in the style of your adopted design icon.

Your manufacturer wishes to introduce a personal sound system inspired by the design work, materials
and processes associated with your design icon.

First and foremost, the sound system should communicate the style and ethos of your design icon through

form generation, material selection, textures and finishes.

Secondly, your sound system design should consider the corporate identity, existing in-house technologies

and manufacturing capabilities of your manufacturer. Innovative materials and technologies may be con-

sidered for the design and construction of the sound system but only if their introduction or application
can be justified by the work or philosophy of your design icon.

Design concepts for the sound system may reflect significant aspects of your design icon and manufacturer

in terms of human endeavour, material and process technology and social or cultural influences of particu-
lar significance.

The sound system should include a headset and portable speaker but may include additional elements or

items to extend or enhance the users’ experience. You are required to propose alternative combinations, ,
product architectures and formats as part of your concept design presentation.

Design concepts offering protection and/or safeguards from excessive ‘leisure noise’ should also be reflect-

ed in your proposals.
