industrial design

I was particularly excited for this project! - I’m really interested in industrial design and have been considering it as a career option :D

So firstly we had to choose any industrial object and start documenting it through conceptual and accurate drawings. (I chose a whisk as my object.)

conceptual and accurate drawings

We that had to decide on changes (improvements) we want to make to the object, keeping in mind the elements and principles of design as well as the universal principals of design.

Then we had to re-draw the object with the improvements we made to it.

The first improvement I made was to tie the wires(made from silicone) of the top part of the whisk together. (that way it is more sturdy) then i added the swirl in the middle of the wires. This has a aesthetic as well as functional purpose (the whisking will go faster with the added wire in the middle) the main wires are green and the swirl yellow - complimentary colours.

 

Changes I made to the handle was to add a holding place(for you thumb and pointing finger) lined with rubber. To ensure a sturdy grip. then i added a pallet knife blade at the bottom of the handle.(the most commonly whisked food is eggs, and an egg needs to be broken open before you can whisk it) So its like a two in one product :)
