Are you sometimes irritated by the smallest of things? RantRave.co.uk is the site where the world can be told and because 'necessity is the mother of invention' the Rant or irritation is solved through an active panel of designers and consumers.

By uploading images of your empowering products as solutions to a Rant post, it will bring the product solution to the masses. RantRave.co.uk has been developed to behave as an idea generator. As a designer my strengths lie in producing good solutions to design problems swiftly.

In the pursuit of problem solving and refining my skills as a designer, I embarked on a major project that would provide a tool that harnesses an interaction with designers and consumers to achieve this. The blogging feature of the RantRave website allows users to present and discuss their ideas with each other. It is from these discussions where inspiration will be drawn to create positive empowering products. This system of rant; to the analysis of products to the empowering product, is a cognitive design process that takes work to the designer and provides an insight into possible openings in consumer markets. Design to me is an evolutionary process that is about solving people problems with exciting simple solutions.
