Snaps of my BTech exhibition

The 29th November 2011 was my exhibition at CPUT. It reflected a lighting range in which I determined whether personality traits can be utilised as a concept. My lighting range is called Skeletal centripetal. The public feedback was phenomenal!

Here are some of the lights I designed:







So now you can see a bit about the way I think. Always be inspired.

Beginning of new things.

Hi all!

Ok, My full name is Micah Joël Chisholm and the name I wish to be addressed by is simply Micah Joël.

To note: I am a 23 year old male. It is nearing the end of 2011. I am 2 days away from having my final exhibition for my course in Surface design. My career in design is about to start and to add, my family and I have just moved into a new home.

I am now considered a qualified designer in surface experimentation and product making. I am hearing impaired, I lip-read, perceive, observe, feel and create objects that appeal. This is for now. I am about to take risks in order to learn, develop and grow. My goal is to explore in design and become more involved with the world around me.

I intend to: Learn this: "the one eye sees while the other feels" (Suskin, 2011)
                 Travel to explore and learn various cultures across this globe. 
                 I have to start with the ancients because it amazes me the most!
                 Create products/ideas that reflect my experiences.
                 Learn what it means to be a good designer!

What you need to know about me: 

I play very safe when it comes to designing. I do oversteps boundaries but still play it safe. I tend to create products that appeal because i draw essence on nature infused with science and mathematics. I don't understand graphics because i don't understand what works, what is good and why there is a limit to exploration with it. I am very involved with the works I create and graphics isn't safe for that but I am up for the challenge and to learn! I am a perfectionist and tend to appreciate and create objects that are aesthetically appealing. I am often inspired by others - through observation I will identify a method of working and then use this an approach. I do tend to embody characteristics of other people and adopt this in creating my works. I enjoy these challenges!

Things are about to begin soon!

Will keep you posted.
