In my diploma project, I was allowed to select my own brief to work on. I spent the
initial 2-3 weeks at the Hyundai design studio choosing an area in which I could
concentrate. Finally I froze on my brief as “Transportation 2025”. The deliverables for
the project were initial research, concept generation, and a final 3D model of interior
and exterior of my vehicle. My process of brainstorming began with an open mind and
a lot of excitement. I started sketching a lot of conventional vehicles, trying to learn
proportions, stance and overall volume manipulation. Simultaneously, I studied several
engineering mechanisms in some of my favourite electronic gadgets. I learnt about
the Hyundai’s design philosophy, their branding as well as the intricacies of a car and
the means by which a car can be represented through sketches. Thereafter, I carried
out research on statistical predictions of the future and tried to focus it on what the
main “hot topics” in the future would be. I continued my research in the areas of world’s
population, air pollution and carbon footprint, alternate use of energy and artificial
intelligence, etc. But among all these, I was personally drawn towards the environmental
aspects of Earth in 2025 and this became the core of my theme. This project provided
me a great opportunity to educate myself and enhance my sketching skills while working
in a studio setup. As a designer the most important learning was how to communicate
ideas to others and present them effectively. |
