Thumbnail Concepts - Idea Generation!
After researching and understanding design issues a Product Designer will typically explore many concepts before picking a final design for prototyping and testing and then Mass Production.
From this; your task is to generate a range of quick orthographic (front, sides, top, back) and perspective thumbnail sketches of your ideas for a sustainable mobile communication device.
Use some A3 paper and a 2B Pencil to get started. Ensure you include annotations (brief notes about each design) to highlight the key sustainable features you decide to incorporate.
Discuss your final ideas with your teacher and classmates to determine if there are any ideas that need further research or touch
ups. This will help take your designs to the next level!
Remember any idea could be the next great innovation! So just let your ideas and thoughts flow, think about the Eco Design Strategies you wish to focus on, experiment with different shapes for the body, button designs, screen sizes, body sizes and key features.
