Elements of Form
Extraction of forms/ shapes using elements line, shape, texture to create a unique form/ shape in 3dimensional forms. In this stage transformation from 2D to 3D forms are created to perform certain tasks like Pick and Speak/ Pick and pour/ pick and play/ pick and hear etc. keeping user in mind. Transformation of form between 2 geometric shapes also part of this stage.
Methodology:
2D drawings further developed to 3D based on previous stage to get innovative 3D forms. The process involves much iteration for better outcome. Design for Retail Experience (DRE) students would work in the direction of developing surfaces and 3D forms whereas Design for Digital Experience (DDE) students work in the direction of developing forms pertaining to consumer products
Class Assignment DRE students:
• To develop to 3D from the forms developed in previous stage.
• To develop further into a useful 3D forms and surfaces considering retail space, scenarios on shopping malls.
• To develop 3D surfaces using a cardboard, thread and nails (as shown in images).
• To develop the final form using Thermocol and Plaster of Paris (POP) material with the help of studio tools like file and emery paper.
Class Assignment DDE students:
• To develop to 3D from the forms developed in previous stage.
• To develop further into a useful 3D forms and surfaces with an expression of pick and talk, pick and pour, pick and play etc. considering the human interaction.
• To develop the final form using Thermocol and material with the help of studio tools like file and emery paper.
