My first attempt at keeping record

So I decided I would keep a blog of all my design work starting from now. Enjoy. Many of the car sketches are pre Academy of Art. I admit, they aren't great, but I am hoping to look back on these and gauge some progress. I took some classes at Art Center at Night prior to moving back to the Bay Area, and the Transportation and Product projects are part of an Intro to Trans/Product Design class.

First batch of images are some sketches done for my intro to trans class at ACAN. The prompt was to create a vehicle for the brand EZGO... a brand that specifically does small utility type carts. My direction was to produce a cart that played with the seating and human factors of the cart. I wanted to change the boring aspect of passengers staring at the back of the head of their driver. So after building on the concept of a Roman Charriot, I came to a two piece solution. I decided to go the direction of a futuristic airport transport with a segway type motor unit and passenger carriage. More pics












This second batch of sketches are those for Intro to Product Design. I designed a leash pooper scooper combo, inspired by my girlfriend's dog Suushi. The idea was to solve the problem of having to carry around a bag of poop in the open for sanitary and pyschological reasons while walking your dog. So, my solution was to have the leash house be a pooper scooper simultaneously. The disposable bag inside guarantees a no mess quick pick up. It actually is quite simple. The leash is retractable, and the bag can be housed inside the leash canister for easy scoop and dispose. More Pictures






These last few are just some sketches done for an Intro to Comm Sketch Class, and some fun sketches with my friend and future designer James(thanks james for all the tips!)
