Graduation Project
A extensive research with 150 pages awarded with a 9 out of 10.
Variety of skills
The project required knowledge in graphic design, 3D modelling, usability testing, engineering and instruction design.
Put into practice
The SRB is being tested and realised by a new generation of students based on our research efforts.
Teamwork
A joint effort by me, Jeroen Waterink and Richard Bults.
Regentoren
Global warming has caused an increase in rainfall in The Netherlands. This leads to flooded streets and buildings, damaging property and injuring people. To counter this problem, the University of Twente has developed a prototype of a Smart Rainwater Buffer (SRB). It is a water harvesting system that collects rainwater during a shower to relieve stress from the sewage system.
While the effect is limited when using a small number of SRBs, placing one in every household in Enschede potentially creates a buffer-effect designed to prevent the city from being flooded. Therefore, to support a large-scale roll-out of the SRB, a DIY-suitable system with accompanying instructions was created. To do so, I developed the training material and brand identity.

Assemble your SRB
Jeroen Waterink engineered the SRB. Based on his work, I created the DIY instruction manual as well as a video. Research showed that users had different preferences. However, the video had an overall better score than the instruction manual in terms of mistakes made by the users.
