Wise Anti-Clocks

I have progressed with my final project to a stage where I am now trying to communicate my research into Reliance through a single object.
The object I have opted for is the clock.
At the moment, I'm just taking apart 99p travel clocks and distorting their function/visual language/familiarity, as a way of questioning their reliability.
Here are some examples...






I took one apart a little too much and now can't get it back together...

I'm sure it goes something like this though.

Context Reported

Today is hand-in day for our Context Report documents so I thought I would take a few photos while it is still in decent condition. This is not to imply that they get marked down the pub by a rabble of rowdy lectures who use them as beer mats/ash trays. But honestly, you never know.

I could explain a little about its content (because, as Desmond kindly pointed out "Doesn't that title just apply to everything?"), but for now I will just put up some pretty pictures.
Overall though, it is focussed on the idea of the relationship between user and object being based on reliance and how, as a designer, I am able to manipulate this.
I will post a more detailed abstract soon.

So, here it is I hope you like it:

Christmas and Context Reports.

This is (a poor photograph of) my mum's crimbo present last year. She is is a character that features in my illustrated cards and mum has become quite fond of her.
I wasn't as creative this year. Although I was just as frugal (part of mums present this year was a small card announcing I was cooking Christmas roast and giving her the day off).

Recently, my time has been taken up by theoretical workings (I'm currently writing my Contextual Report) so I haven't had much to show. But, the writing is (potentially) over and I am now on to the design of the document.
Thing is though, in all my remembering how to write, I have now forgotten how to design.
