The Burden of Expectation

This Body of Work is an exploration of the burden of expectations that individuals can face, both internally and from those around them. Personal standards and the real or perceived standards of others can become a great emotional weight to uphold.

Design & Technology

Kate Langejans

Dove App

Year 12

2021

HSC Showcase

For my major project I have created an app that aims to improve the quality of life for patients with Alzheimer’s disease as well as their caregivers and family. This app provides various features that allow patients to record and listen to past conversations, view profiles of their family and friends that store their memories and past interactions, navigate through their daily routine with ease and much more. These functions have all been implemented with a classic and simplified design to provide easy navigation and ease of use, along with a subtle and welcoming aesthetic.

Jonathan Bateman

Tracking System

Year 12

2021

HSC Showcase

For my Major Design Project I chose to develop a wearable footwear location tracker which aims to provide a sense of security for the families and guardians of individuals who may be suffering from a mental or physical disability. The product includes a sleek, minimalistic and innovative design which attaches to an individual’s footwear via a durable lacing system. To utilise current technologies the device includes a variety of 3D printed and laser-cut pieces, all with the aim of increasing the final products aesthetics and durability. The goal of my project is to create peace of mind for families and expand a currently largely untapped market.

Zac Liebenberg

Universal Phone Case and Appliances

Year 12

2021

HSC Showcase

I wanted to create a project that fulfils the need of holding a person’s mobile device, in ergonomically or functionally difficult situations. My major design project is a universal phone case, plus its appliances. The major feature of my project is the way in which the phone case transitions between the appliances, which is via magnetic attraction. This allows for the phone case to easily be attached, detached and reattached between the appliances as the user goes through their daily use of their phone.

Riley Cashion

Bumper Protector

Year 12

2021

HSC Showcase

For my major Design project, I wanted to solve the problem of cars and bumpers being damaged by the increasing height of speed humps and scraping on driveways without impacting the aesthetics of the car. The product I have designed is easy to install, protects the underside of the bumper and is almost invisible.
