Doodle for Google

Doodle for Google is a design competition for young designers. It offers a chance to design one of Google's classic "doodles". The winner is awarded the opportunity to have their design on Google's homepage for a day!

My design was viewed by the judges and I received a thank-you from Google head office. Shortly after they also notified me that the competition was for under 1'7s, and i was unelidgable  I still enjoyed the creative side of and i think it has helped my color pencil rendering.

Goggle Speakers/headphones

A possible idea which i have been investigating for my A2 work would be a pair of headphones, which are specially suited to people who use goggles. (Ski, Snowboard and Motox)

I have created a couple of simple Pro E model's for my headphone adapted goggles, The idea has already been done by a ski goggle company called Von Zipper (http://www.bookofjoe.com/2008/02/hear-muffs-von.html) These "Macho Muffs"
are made from fabric.

My idea would be a plastic version, they would be alot more substansial, also to fit in with the "trendy" snowboarders of today, I will have to come up with something equally "trendy"

Here are a couple of very quick ideas showing three different designs. The first shows how the headphone would attach to the goggle strap
