Week 1 - Studio Tasks
Industrial Designer - Marc Newson (1963)
One of the most accomplished and influential industrial designers, Marc Newson is known for his funkily futuristic, but technically rigorous approach to design. Born in Sydney, he has worked from studios in Tokyo, Paris and, now, London, to design everything from a private jet to a Ford car. His range of work varies from aircraft design, product design, furniture design, jewellery, and clothing. He incorporates a design style known as Biomorphism to his various designs. Biomorphism morphs artistic design elements into naturally occurring shapes, or patterns reminisent of nature.This style uses smooth flowing lines, translucency, transparency and tends to have an absence of sharp edges. Marc Newson was also included in Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World and has received numerous awards and distinctions.

Constuctive Feedback:
ReplyDeleteFoldered paper models, have sophistication and relate well in comparison to the actual object designed.
Photograph, has been photoshoped. This gives the model an entire new look, makeing the model more realistic and doesn't seem like it is just a paper structure.
Renderings and computer modeling of all three paper models are really well executed. Almost matching the photographs taken.Angles of the photographs have been mimicked well. Textures have a semi realistic aspect to the render.
Constructive Feedback:
ReplyDeletePaper Models are well thought out and are well related with your influence. Care has been taken to your photography and photoshop skills making them look interesting and professional. Your choice of materials and your precise angles make you modelling a overall success.
