Admission product design-Record player-Giveaway reveal

I’m sorry I couldn’t blog for a while. I was so busy with school I just couldn’t find the time to write anymore. My final exams are in 6 weeks. Besides that, my grandma passed away a few weeks ago and we all had a pretty rough time… In about 2 months, I’ll have loads and loads of time to do fun stuff and blog about it. So here is a quick update on what happened the past weeks.

I did the admission for Product design in Arnhem. I have to wait 3 weeks to know if I got accepted. If I wont get accepted I will go to a photography school first, and then try again in a few years. But for now… fingers crossed.

I had to make a lamp for the admission. I was thinking on keeping the recycle design idea, since I really like to work with re-usable mass products. This time I made a lamp out of vinyl records.

 

 

 

After admission, I got a record player from my uncle! I am like CRAZY happy with it! I got about 100 records now, and I can play them very soon, I still need some amplifiers.

This time it is going to be a bit different, I’m going to pick people from my Facebook page… But more info will come in the next post!

Here is what I’m giving away:

Admission for the Academy Of Art and Design.

I’m nervous and excited at the same time. A few weeks ago I filled in the admission papers for ArtEZ. The school for art and design in Arnhem. I signed myself up for product design. I would love to study that! I can’t just go do the study, unfortunately I will have to make a few assignments for the admission. And then hope I ‘ve got enough talent to get through! My assignments are:

  1. Design and make a lamp.
  2. Write something about some product designers that I admire. Why do you admire them, and why do you want to be a product designer.
  3. Design and make a 1:6 model of a chair or couch. OR Design and make a fashion accessory.

I love the assignments! I can’t wait to start! I will have to go to Arnhem March 21st. Which is in the middle of my exams. So I hope I can make my exams and get to Arnhem in time. Its about an hour drive. AHHH!

I’m working on my first assignment right now. I’ll keep you guys posted on the results and updates.

I’ll post every assignment when it is finished!

OH! and because I’m not blogging a lot lately, I will make it up whit you guys by doing a fun giveaway! I’m not telling what it is yet… but it has everything to do with these:
