Assignment: Develop concepts for a small object in 3 sizes. The products should be created as a family of form with a specific brand in mind. Concepts must fit within the overall dimensions and design details based on an product dimensions. To gain insight and inspiration on how to design your product, conduct an online survey with a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Visualize the data through charts and infographics as a part of your presentation. Excellent concepts will have a family look while following the recommendations set forth by the research. Create a series of sketches to quickly and effectively capture your ideas. Work in Illustrator to render and present two final concepts in orthographic views.Share images of your information design, sketches, and illustrator renderings. Discuss the specific challenges of our project direction and how you solved them.
This was my first real attempt at using Illustrator in a long time. I'd had a basic CS training course five years ago, but the only thing I remember being taught was Live Paint and I couldn't tell you what that is for anymore. After spending some time relearning the basics, I really focused on trying to make each object its own distinct texture. I wanted to try out a variation of different techniques for accomplishing that as well. I took this project as sort of a mastery of skills test project. I finally learned what a clipping mask is. Yay me.
