Sports Engineering

As an avid sports fan, I have always had an interest in the design of the equipment and technology that make playing sports an incredible experience. From the apparel on the athletes to the inside of a ball, technology exists everywhere and it always fascinates me how many complex design and technical considerations go into even the simplest of products. It is astounding that the smallest of changes to a product can increase its performance by such a large margin, and that is why I am so passionate about sports engineering. Below are some images that reflect this passion for sports engineering and influence me in my work at university.

Product Design and Devlopment

Although my main fascination lies within sports, I also love, and have appreciation for, many other types of product design. I particularly like simplistic design that can hide a vast array of functions, as I find this to be elegant and sophisticated, yet technologically intriguing. Below are some images which I find particularly inspiring from a product designers perspective, some are sports related and some are not.

Graphic Design

Graphic design is another area that I am interested in. I am always blown away by the advertising campaigns of the big sports brands as they always find new and exciting ways to promote their products, keeping us interested at all times. Here are some pieces of graphic design from some of my favourite brands that have inspired me throughout the course of my university career.
