OnCycle

So the OnCycle is finally complete thanks to some all-nighters and a pretty amazing group of individuals. Here are some renders and pictures from the final critique. Also, If you're bored, feel free to download the process book PDF that Mei created. It does a pretty slick job of explaining all this madness: http://drop.io/hywo0zc'

hell week....

is preventing posting, but here are some figure drawings in the meantime

cloooose

saddle

this is what our seat is gonna look like (minus the glossy redness). alias was surprisingly cooperative on this one

the future

watercolor was awesome to work with, but maybe I'll stick with photoslop because my teacher gave me the lowest grade of the quarter on this one

bodies

i've been slackin on the uploading, so i'll post 3 TODAY. woooo! the first is some figure drawing for des. comm. sketching effeminate men is greeeaaaat

interiors

the future

lollapalooza and a crazy week means i won't be able to update everyday. here's another des. comm. vacation home though

home and ship

bike features

we're narrowing down what our group needs to do. we should have an overall feel of the entire bike by the end of tonight

more des comm fun

vacation home/ high rise

watercolor and ink brings back memories of high school. more on the way hopefuly

boats and buildings

also, if I'm ambitious enough, i should have some fun watercolor stuff up soon

aptly named des. comm. project

validation pages

This is what our group is starting to show people for our "validation phase"

more chairs

some B levels for Tony K

concepts 1 and 3

I'm really happy with how our concepts are developing. It seems like everyone in our group has part of their original idea in one of these 3 concepts. I should have explanation renderings up tonight.

photoslopping concept 2

this is concept 2 for my group. sketching credit on this one goes to Alex (who is incidentally, the man) and then I came in and photoshopped over it.

first direction

Our group finally has one of our 3 directions figured out. Hopefuly we can settle on the other two by the end of the day.

e-bike ideas

trying to consider things like road presence and seating. getting a little more into it

more ideas, less pretty things

more thinking needs to happen. so here are some thinking sketches. not as pretty, but VERY important

cintique

some refined bike concepts. still not really super-proud of any of these ideas, but at least the perspective's getting better....?

churz

some loose chair doodles for des. com

51st post!

drawing bikes in perspective has been VERY humbling to say the least

batroom

a group project focusing on family of form. it was a very quick project, but I'm pretty happy with how it came together and i'm even MORE happy that its done:

slackin'

not necessarily in the sense of being productive, more so about posting on this here blog. here's one for today and one for yesterday.

iconic?

while its great to say in your design requirements that you're going to revolutionize the current e-bike market by creating an iconic form that will gradually be adopted by all, finding out what that iconic product will look like proves to be a bit more difficult....

bathroom concepts

beginning to sketch some bathroom concepts...
