No. 13 DEVELOPMENT

Working during the Christmas holidays has been a very difficult task BUT with the help of a lot of chocolate development has been done. Although I still believe that till the end of the unit, work would be developed more and also more satisfactory.

Initial ideas, and ways of how the queen chess could be designed differently for my use.

Developing always changing where is not satisfactory.

At this stage I decided to completely change what I was doing and think how a woman can be soft at heart. Curves showing my idea of thinking. 

Decided that my first idea should be more satisfying so I decided to continue working on it.

The inner container were the lipstick will be held at the process of design.

Capturing both cap and inner container, at this stage I kept in mind material and dimensions that the prototype will be done with.

Here I tried to capture how both pieces will be joined together, so that everything will click and stay in place.

No. 12 THE Bus Shelter

One of the very first videos I saw as an inspiration for the bus shelter was this:

I then started focusing somewhat more on DNA structure and how designs have been evolved form it. I extracted the basic shape and form of double helix and started experimenting so that something else could be done.

1st experimentation on 3D Max on this particular unit.

Adding some of the modifiers to the design for development

New development

Adding more than one helix to the design.

At this stage of my development I have to keep in mind  that the final product will be done by moulded wood. So it must be a design that in the end could be worked out.

No. 11 Cosmetic Packaging

An assignment that I am currently working on is, to design cosmetic packaging for Toly. My first approach was to decide whether I want to design something for men or women.  It took me a long time to choose because I think both customers are challenging in different ways, in the end I decided to target women.  But not just any women either, I want to design something for those women who are now replacing men in the office, the ones that control everything that is being done at work.

From there on I decided that I will be focusing more on Lipstick packaging and the image that the woman will give once she takes it out to use it.
