Object Design: Combine Material, Form, and Narrative

“We have come to the end of the course. Thank you so much for following! I was very happy to design it. I leave you below the main steps to follow to complete your project. This can be the object you designed by following the exercises or you can create a new one! In any case, take care to document the different stages of your creation and add a brief explanation of what you did in each of them as well as your choices. Research and sketches Whether you are working on a personal project or with a brief, research the subject (the style, the theme, etc.). Build a mood board if needed. Then go ahead and draw several sketches to put on paper all the ideas that come to you.

3D Modeling Once you think you've figured out your ideas, choose one (or two) that you like the most and 3D model it. It is at this stage that you can begin to refine your concept and see if the idea is feasible. You can adjust accordingly. Materials testing Based on your 3D model, make your object using the materials you had previously thought of. This is useful to know if this material adapts to the project you had thought of or if you should choose another one. Presentation of the project Finally, name your project and make a presentation of the concept using software such as Adobe InDesign. I have tried to convey to you my love for experimentation and risk-taking as a driving force for creation. I can't wait to see what it will inspire you! Add your project to your portfolio by clicking on “Create your project”. I also invite you to look at what your classmates have created for this course, to comment and to interact with each other. As for me, I will come by as soon as possible to comment on your work and discuss with you. See you soon !”

“Final project Thank you very much for taking my Domestika course. I hope you took as much pleasure to watch it as I to prepare it. I was very happy to design it. Before saying goodbye to you, let's review the most important steps in a brief summary. We started with the narrative function of objects. We have seen that this completes, and sometimes goes beyond the function of use. We have studied the typology of the mirror to give us a solid foundation, even inspiration. I told you about the four pillars to create an effective project, but also the importance of finding inspiration outside th...”
