Portfolio 2015 // Furkan Isguc

HI!I am Furkan Isguc. I was born in Rotter-dam, The Netherlands and I am studying Industrial Product Design at Rotterdam Univerity of Applied Sciences.

I am an enthusiastic designer working with passion. I enjoy genuin design solutions with a user centered approach offering benefits to the client and user. I like to work on different things rather being stuck with one particular branch. That is why I believe to be curious to learn new things and not things that already exist.

As a person I consider myself as a pragmatic dreamer, always looking for the different approach and angle. Sometimes that exotism challenges me to think, not only out of the box, but also add a new element to the design and the product.

When I was younger I was constantly challenged with the ideals of design and prototyping. That started when I studied in highschool where I signed up for the Robotics Program. We as a team mana-ged to be a sort of symbol to the other schools in The Netherlands. We represen-ted The Netherlands at various events.

But I decided to be an Industrial Designer. Industrial Design makes you able to make choices. From small to big, you can do whatever pleases you.

Although we learn the standard 3D modu-ling and sketching skills there, I developed graphic design skills as well. I also focus on photpgraphy, what is one of my favouri-te things to do in my spare time. Summari-zed this would be me.

Natural Sound POD

2013Individual project


A simple Iphone stand

How to make it easy, but profitable?

Using vacuum forming and cheap material like PP should result

in profit

Design the productin a way that it

could be stacked up

The stack up shouldresult in easy

transport

Why not

Increase the sound

Naturally?


The idea was to design a simple iPhone stand withvacuum forming technique.

This iPhone stand howeveradds something else.

The sound comes out from the sides. The sound increases naturally.


The holes on thesides provide sound increase.

The sound flows easily from the iPhone through the holes in the stand where the iPhone stands on.

An extra hole is cut for the chargeplug.

FUN

The concept of the Lava step is that the children are notallowed to step into the lava. In order to do that, they need to hop across thelava using the steps.

The steps are made of PP and it is rotation molded.

In total 100 children tested this product and 90% lovedthe product.

No difficulty

With the lever


No difficulty

With the lever

The principle is easy:

You pull the lever up and the handlefalls down.

The I box and the handle are made ofABS platic.

The handle is rotationmolded and the I box is vacuum formed.

The mechanics are found in the box.

The idea came from fitness benches. Sameprinciple is used to lift the handle up and down.


The prototyping process

The prototype was made at RDM campus, better knownas the Innovation Dock.

With the materials that were available, I tried to make the prototype as good as possible.

The I box consists of two plates of wood attached to eachother.The mechanics are within the box.

The mechanics consists of a spring and a steel rod.

The handle was made of yellow foam.

Robotics Project Robocup

What are the most essential elements of this project?

Affordable

Wide range of materials

Wide range of parts Compatible with different systems

Universal

Competitive


This project was set up byour own initiative. Through eight years of experience wefound out that the Dutch teams whom qualify themselvesfor the world championshipsare no longer a competitionto the Chinese, Japanese and Iranian teams. This led us tocome with an idea. The idea was to design, build and program an universal robot. This robot is only for the dutch teams whom have no idea where to start.

We found out that not onlyare we no match to those teams, but also schools are having problems funding their own robotics program: the price to build such a robot is too steep.

This is a way to show teamsthat there is a way to be able to build a robot for anaffordable price.


The project is called 5B. The initial amount of this robot would be close to 500 euros.

This robot comes with an arduino console and two motordrivers.

The main idea is that to teamswho are interested to builda soccer robot should be ableto make changes where ever theywant: universal.

They have a wide range of materials for the plates, the motors and sensors.

In our case it would be wiseto use the lightest, but strongestmaterial. We prefer to use plasticsinstead of metals, because plastics are easier to treat and it is cheaper compared to metal.

The Fietstaxi Centrale in Rotterdamwanted us to think of a concept to attract more customers to their cabs.

They get most of their income from sponsors and promotionalwork.

It looked better to expand the commercializing by adding a cart with televisions in it to promote more of thesebrands.

It can be a local concept to more commercial brands.

our Love for

ROTTERDAM

Something the Cosmicus college and I have in common: Our shared love for Rotterdam.

They wanted me to design a posterto show their love for Rotterdamas Rotterdam is Cosmicus’ main theme.

Bredeschoolse

Activiteiten

Logo

Their activities organisationis obviously called: bredeschoolse activiteiten.

My assignment was to designa logo for that organisationin less than an hour.

I suggested a typgraphicallogo that indicates the initialsof bredeschoolse activiteitenrahter than using differenticons and objects that could stand in the wayof understanding the maincause.

The indication is thus BSA.Transfering the orginial colours of the school would reflect theorganisation. They liked the logo, butthey weren’t satisfied with the colours

Playing with different colours resulted in a bsa logo that looksmore attractive

5B Project

This 5B project has to have some attention.My assignment was to design a sort of flyerto attract people at events.

First thing’s first: The Logo

The inspiration for the logo actually came from an old adidas box I had in my closetfor some reason.

I used the same box to design the flyer and it left a lot of people enthusiasticat the end of the event.
