Sound of Shaving

Philips was looking for ways to innovate on shaving devices, so our assignment was to find a new way to engage the consumer. Our final concept was based around two concepts: First of all, the packaging should be more than just a box that you dispose the minute you arrive home. In this case, the packaging can be folded over and transform into a docking station that holds the machine, accessories and a speaker, which brings us to the second concept: Creating music with your friends while shaving.

Concept advertisement (fun fact: it's actually a picture of a young Martin Luther King)

Manual providing a visual guide of the concept

Ideation process

Moodboard to define the stylistic constraints

Scenario's created to gain insight on possible usage context

Airship

Original Sketch

First time (serious) airbrushing :D

Cleaning up (a little) with chalk & pen

and finishing touches in photoshop

more on the design process next time

The Lighthouse Knight: Final Report

so, at last, here is the final report describing the visual development of some key elements of a hypothetical IP. Hope y'all like it. ps: you can find most images in high res on my blog here and you can download the pdfversion itself here (the colors seem to be quite off in the preview version below)

The Lighthouse Knight: Gregory

Design for the main character gregory, a ritiring knight. I will describe the entire process in the final report. Next up: the castle

More design sketches

more scans, this time a drill design made last year

Clock design process

Been a while since I posted something here because I am working on a pretty big project (more later on that) and because I moved :)

Meanwhile, here are some design sketches of the alarm clock that i posted earlier. I think these iterations are a lot more interesting than just seperate sketches or final drawings, since they really show the entire thought process.

I scanned quite a lot of old drawings lately, so you can also look forward to more of that in the near future (I am breaking it up in digestable chunks) I wanted to scan all this a lot earlier, but I couldnt find a proper A3scanner.

Cheers, Mark

Study Trip Milano

Hi there, no drawings this time, but a report from a study trip to the Milano Design Week last week.
Some of the highlights were the visit to Lamborghini and Ducati, the Salone di Mobili (the main fair) and walking through neighbourhoods like Lambrata and Brera where upcoming designers displayed their products (and of course Milan itself).

Duomo

One of the most interesting the stand of the Peugeot Design Lab, which included a superawesome grand piano and some abstract studies of combinations of a natural and a "high-tech" material, for example steel & iron ore, 3d-printed plastic & wood, and even a chunk of meteorite combined with 3d-printed aluminium. As a result of those studies, they designed a sofa with carbon fibre and a rock.

Alarm clock

This was another university assignment I did a while back. It is an alarmclock/night closet for elderly people.
