Chris Owens, where you at??

my man's Illume project after his freshman year in the Design School is all over the web, not to mention here: http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/24/design-student-crafts-illume-led-display-shelf/

If anyone knows this guy, tell him it was I that gave his name (and NC State) a big shoutout there...I wanted to write something about how the 'Pack pwns everybody else but including the name of the school was my limit there

^ way to support your man

For a freshman project I'd say its impressive; throw that in any retail store just like it is and it will sell.

that is pretty damn impressive.

Pretty good for freshman, but I wouldn't buy one.

Yeah, too bad he's only about 24 years too late.

As long as they don't come back and try to put up a concrete "pavilion" in one of the few remaining spots where there is actually grass on our campus

Nice, good to see some cred coming from our Industrial Design department.

As a sidenote, one of my classmates just won the Babeland Sex Toy Contest (her entry was the Duette ring)

And there are an amazing number of really cool designs and projects coming out of the department.

You can check out a bunch of other people's portfolios and work online at our student site here:

I was pretty shocked to see this on Engadget this morning, Makeblog picked it up when I first finished the project, but I thought that was going to be it. Awesome surprise.

The iBar (except for it's name) is amazing. Mine came in at a 'slightly' smaller budget though, I'm sure.

Most of all, I am excited to see the College of Design, and the school as a whole, get some recognition on a site like Engadget. I'd like to echo Neon... check out those links and see what the department is up to. There's a lot more going on than my freshman fundamentals project.
