Portfolio Cover Page - This was my main portfolio for some time and was the one I used to get into college in Australia. Most of the work was done as side projects although the robotics was done with my high school. Click View Original Size above to zoom in
Spine Chair - This was a chair designed as a reaction to the numerous ergonomic chairs that were in style at the time and the beautiful Harkonnen chair by H.R. Geiger. I wanted to implement a very interesting ergonomic system, that would let the user move freely, by implementing a spine structure. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.

Architecture Projects - A quick project looking at spacial optimisation. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.
Designboom: Inside the Bathroom Design Competition - A design project for a competition. I ended up not submitting it but it was a lot of fun to consider the use model of a modern bathroom and look at simplifying the human interaction. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.

Hanging Shelves - A methodology for shelving which I prototyped in my bedroom and family kitchen. The system used a small number of cheap components to hang from a celling. It was also quite easy to manufacture. In comparison to other home made shelves it is much cheaper and quicker to make as well as being more sturdy. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.

Other Furniture Projects - Just a page with a collection of furniture projects and ideas I had worked on in some capacity. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.
Automotive Projects - A few projects I did engaging various ideas in automotive design. One in particular involved the use of a air ram that would stop water from contacting the windscreen when driving above a certain minimum speed. This would remove the need for wind shield wipers.

System and interface design for a portable music device - A project delving into looking at music systems and how they are managed. This involved contemplating appropriate hepatic interfaces and also designing a system around the control and and data structure of the actual music storage. A big part of this design was to make music easy to find and work with, even when a user was in the middle of a different track. Something iPods still only do poorly.

Hinge-less Flip Phone - A project looking at a more robust mechanism in phones involving a curved slide path to expand the phone conveniently and to nest well when a user is in a phone conversation. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.
Machine Design - Just a little bit on some machine design and development I did, also a spotlight on some of the absurdity of design I make and like. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.
Other Skills - Intro to pages on various other things I do that are sort of like design. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.
Solid Modelling - Some really early renders and models. For more up to date work please view some of my other sets. Click View Original Size above to zoom in.
Photography - This is some of my earliest photographic work and almost completely for documentation. I was on a trip to japan and I did not want to have to use words to explain everything I had seen, so I took a camera. In the end I took 15 rolls of film with very few similar shots on a trip that was less than 2 weeks. Since then I have taken a lot of photos, some can be seen online at picasaweb.google.com/mark.whiting Click View Original Size above to zoom in.
