Untitled Document It has taken ten years of guitar construction and development to achieve the quality of sound produced by The KINNY Stereo Acoustic Guitar. Initially, Paul started designing and making guitar type instruments that were suited to recording purposes only. The sounds he worked towards usually had a clean lower frequency response. This lack of a 'muddy bottom end' suited the guitar ensemble recording activities that he was becoming involved in. Four stringed guitars, Nashville tuned guitars, Soprano guitars, Baritone Guitars, Electric and Classical guitars were developed and recorded to test their studio characteristics. One major aim was to create a solo guitar sound that when recorded would sound as though the guitarist was in the room with you. A knowledge of speaker box technology, acoustics and construction techniques not only created a great guitar for recording purposes but a guitar, that for once, gave the player a sound experience far beyond that of any conventional instrument.

Verner Panton / Design Museum Collection VERNER PANTON (1926-1998) was a master of the fluid, futuristic style of 1960s design which introduced the Pop aesthetic to furniture and interiors. Born in Denmark, he made his name there before settling in Switzerland in the 1960s. During the ‘Beat’ years of the mid-1950s, young European artists and writers bought battered old camper vans to travel across the continent. Every few months, Panton set off from Copenhagen in the Volkswagen for a trek across Europe dropping in on fellow designers as well as any manufacturers or distributors which he hoped would buy his work. Panton had close links with many of the most important Danish designers of that era. Nothing in Verner Panton’s childhood suggested that he might become a designer. Meeting Pøul Henningsen at the Royal Academy of Art, introduced Panton to product design. After leaving Jacobsen, Panton eked out a living from freelance design and architectural commissions, notably a patented shirt ironed with a rotary iron. Biography

Design Better And Faster With Rapid Prototyping - Smashing Magazine Advertisement The old adage, “a picture speaks a thousand words” captures what user interface prototyping is all about: using visuals to describe thousands of words’ worth of design and development specifications that detail how a system should behave and look. In an iterative approach to user interface design, rapid prototyping is the process of quickly mocking up the future state of a system, be it a website or application, and validating it with a broader team of users, stakeholders, developers and designers. Doing this rapidly and iteratively generates feedback early and often in the process, improving the final design and reducing the need for changes during development. Prototypes range from rough paper sketches to interactive simulations that look and function like the final product. The keys to successful rapid prototyping are revising quickly based on feedback and using the appropriate prototyping approach.
