Humidifier

The task with the air humidifier has been completed with an Illustrator rendering of the final design. The design itself has not been discussed, only the skillfulness of the rendering and the sketches. The humidifier is ideally a product of Porsche Design.

Fashion DesCom

Today was the first day with clothes. The progress we make in class is very impressive and we have a model for the last two lessons now. Though it is different to have some clothes now and at the same time construct the body properly. These drawings are made quickly, they took between one and two songs while the model did her poses.

Air Humidifier

Though I keep struggle with pronouncing this word, here are some DesCom Sketches for my humidifier. I try to do something more boxy less demanding maybe with an exciting detail like a glass tube to see how much water is inside the humidifier. This tube can also be used to steam the water.

Vitamin Water

Today, I would like to talk about my first experience with vitamin water, a flavoured so-called water of which I heard a lot, even before I came to the US. I've heard for example that it is good against hangovers. Well, I try it in a good mood with sunlight around me. The flavour I've choosen is lemonade but that wasn't very obvious because the design of the band is over-typolagized in my eyes. It looks expensive because of fine typography and the shiny golden print. The plastic bottle itself is also very solid but the loose band makes a crunching noise when I grap it. So... I just taste it now.

As most bottles in the US, the bottleneck is pretty wide and I did not yet find out how Americans drink from that. The taste is first no taste at all, then becomes bitter and then is super sweet. It somehow taste like lemon but not really, it is a taste that I cannot match with anything I know.

I would say that this product really has a good marketing that made me buy it but because of its taste I will surely not buy it again. Or maybe get used to American flavours.

Fashion DesCom

This is one of my sketches from today's Fashion class with Prof. Wilson. He wants us to draw quick and intuitiv using this fill-out technique who's name I sadly forgot. My first sketches were too realistic and, in a fashion designer's eyes, too thick. The technique helps me to make my girls skinnier but I can't help adding some shadows. I am pretty excited how sketching will develop based on this class.

Study Abroad

This is my first post on my blog and I am very excited about that because it makes me more connected to the online world. As hardly noone in my German class used to write a blog I will just try to post here some things about me, my study abroad and my current and old Industrial Design work and hope to find some visitors.
