RC Plane + Drone Form Project
Design Principles II
Spring Semester, 2020
Project Objective:
To design a product with three different styles based on objects from various collections.
I chose flying toys (planes, drones, gliders, etc.) for my base product category and developed a form referencing each museum object.
Above: final render of concept RC flyers
Phase I: Reference Gathering
Above (Left to Right): reference objects from the RISD Museum (17th century Chinese bowl and saucer), RISD Nature Lab (Squash), and Metropolitan Museum of Art (1-5th century Figure-Celt pendant)
Below: on-site drawings of artifacts from respective collections (selected objects are highlighted in their color)
Phase II: Concepting
Above: initial product concept sketches
Below: all plasticine sketch model iterations
Phase III: Finalizing Designs
Above (Left to Right): saucer, squash, and pendant based models chosen as references for final render design
Below: hand drawn product designs before and after render
