This is my first podcast which documents the research for my Industrial Design Studio “No bottled water”. Have fun and thanks for listening!

This is the link to the page I found my background landscape at.

In my first podcast I want to document the process of research for my Industrial Design Studio called “No Bottled Water”. The task is to design an new drinking fountain for the RMIT campus so that people would use them and live down concerns about hygiene and so on. Reaching the goal of people using the fountains could effectively help to reduce rubbish created by bought bottled water. The structure will be: Explaining how existing drinking fountains work, how many different kinds of fountains exist at the campus, conclusions of former interviews with students concerning the fountains and a discussion with a friend of mine brainstorming for ideas and suggestions for a new design.

To produce this podcast is the first step of documenting the process of designing the new fountain. A vodcast with sketches and first renderings will then follow.

I think the main challenge for me will be to figure out how to create the audio but mainly the video file in an interesting way so that people would listen and watch. I think I will have some difficulties with the software because this is the first time for me to edit audio and video stuff.
