Design Indaba CPUT stand

My group and I competed to win the chance to design The Cape Penisula University of Technology's design and informatics stand at the Design Indaba.

Our Concept: GENERATING DESIGN. Those paper windmills you used to play with as a kid was our inspiration and generated the idea to produce giant size ones (2.4m high and 1.25m wide blades). As CPUT we are not selling a product, like the rest if the Design Indaba creatives, but encouraging students to come study at the university, we thought of sellling the idea of "generating energy (design)". Thus CPUT generates design. The university generates education to power your creative side to produce your own design. Just how wind generates the blades of a windmill to turn and which results in producing energy which can be converted into electricity. "We generate the power for awesome design" was the slogan, suggesting CPUT generates the power for awesome design and awesome the event was.

Two weeks of designing, constructing, meeting, sourcing, driving and every other little thing inbetween we produced a awesome stand that got a lot of heads turning, people smiling and cellphones coming out for some picture taking.

An awesome experience, I felt so professional.
