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
