Rough models are made to have a better sense of the product.
Sketches of the product used in every possible environment.
Here I am sketching a product being used in a certain environment.
Notes from David: It’s been really great working at Essential so far. Last Thursday there was a company hike at Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire. I’ve actually been there before with my family before, but it was just as fun.
I’ve mostly been mostly finding trends and collecting pictures during my internship so far. There’s also a trend wall in the office covered in pictures full of ideas and imagery that gets used in many of the projects with clients. What really interests me about working here is the design process and how projects are fulfilled. Ideas and concepts for projects are usually brainstormed then pinned up on a large board or refined into Powerpoint or Excel. It is interesting to me how ideas for products are based on the product’s function, user, and suggested environment. There’s always a struggle between the size of the product, its accessibility and portability. Cool stuff…
