Enigin workspace
We’ve recently had an office shift around at Enigin and I now work in a ‘contained’ office with Ed and Nik.
One thing the three of us have noticed is how much heat is generated from our displays and Macs, which has led to us using a portable air-con unit. With Enigin being all about saving energy, it seems a real shame we have to rely on another source of power to make the working environment more comfortable. We’re hoping to install some type of direct air-flow to the room to negate this problem, but if anybody out there has come up with a similar situation and has any good solutions, please fell free to let me know!
At Enigin, I’m currently working on packaging ideas for a micro PC which will power the new Eniscope (which I mentioned briefly in my last post). As a designer, I like the challenge of working in different media which helps me to keep a fresh eye on what I’m producing. Working closely in the Enigin R&D department has been a real bonus in this respect, as there is great ‘first-hand’ feedback from avenues which are sometimes not open to a designer.
Here’s an example of a simple box package with graphics I’ve created.
I produced the graphic panels for ‘Sustainability Live’ Expo where Enigin had a stand and the feedback from Mark Sinden who was ‘manning’ the stand was extremely positive. So much so that he secured some great leads in to well known national corporations, who expressed a real interest in using the tools Enigin is producing which can save companies up to 30% of their energy usage.
I’ll post some images of some of the panels next time. Over and out for now.
