Student Designer Wins National Award
At her product design class’s final pin-up, undergraduate Tara Nielsen said her project didn’t receive any votes for favorite design. But her simple yet dynamic “Billow Napkin Dispenser” later won a bigger award: one of three Zinc Challenge awards from Interzinc, a zinc industry-marketing group. Nielsen earned $2,000 for her design and the product design program netted another $1,000.
Congratulations to UO-PD student Tara Nielsen, one of the winners of the 2010 Interzinc Design Challenge!
Each student in this class redesigned a basic napkin dispenser in a way that could be produced through die casting with zinc as the main material.
Tara won $2k for her design of the Billow Napkin Dispenser, and won $1k for the Product Design program, courtesy of the competition sponsor, Interzinc.
This project was completed in the PD350: Objects and Impacts course taught in the W’10 term. Each student in this class redesigned a basic napkin dispenser in a way that could be produced through die casting with zinc as the main material.
