Footwear Design
The footwear design project allowed me to explore modeling of the sole first, and then the upper part of my shoe, after developing a concept through sketches and ideation. As an athletic shoe, the design needed to be visually and functionally intriguing.
Project skills:
-
Use sketching techniques to ideate and develop a 3D form
-
Use foam modeling to communicate sole form
-
Use Adobe programs to photoshop and manipulate model image
-
Document process and create finalized presentation board
