Master 2d and 3d exploration of generative forms to visualize product shapes. Learn from a seasoned mechanical engineer and product designer through advanced form studies.
Explore 2d form generation from primitive shapes to 3d explorations by adding or removing material, sketching with contour lines, and iterating designs toward functional, expressive bottles and models.
Explore evolving two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms by sketching basic elements—square, cube, cylinder—and iterating with addition, subtraction, and radius changes. Apply these concepts to product design and physical modeling.
Explore physical material exploration of a 3D thermal coal form from 2D sketch to hand-finished model, using orange coating to express dynamic, vibrant form.
Explore rosewood textures and grain while shaping soft oblong edge forms through radial manipulation; compare sharp and blunt radii, develop form language, finish with lacquer, and photograph final physical products.
Explore how to capture form language from automobiles, water, and architecture, then replicate visual attributes in product design to create cohesive brand identity and expressive surfaces.
Explore Caesar's ergonomic, sculpted handle and floating blade design that cuts thick leather, carpet, and upholstery with torsion bar energy transfer and safety serrated blades.
Explore the garden pruner design, highlighting stainless steel blades, lightweight fiber composite, ergonomic rotating handle, and power gear mechanism to reduce fatigue, then apply form language insights to smartphone design.
Analyze smartphone form language, smooth joins, radius details, chamfers, and extrusion, to see how brand identity and oneness are built and how subtle curves shape perception.
About the Master Class:
This course is about the studying form design by a step by step break down of the 2D/3D generation of forms, where we will explore about the how the 2D form can be generated from the basic primitive form and shapes like squares, cylinders, spheres etc. Also this course is very very vital when it comes to product designers and it becomes essential for grooming their form visualisation and understanding. How to understand the
Design philosophy:
As I used to say in my design courses, that design cannot be learned in the rot learning way or Text book learning way that you learn through a chapter and remember some formulas that will yield you some solutions. Design is unique and when different people approach the same we will get different solutions based on the inputs that designer works on.
So design can be approached in the way of learning through the case studies and by doing action on your own to learn yourself.
Learning by doing and learning by action.
Benefits of the Master Class:
Learn about the form generation with the basic elements of shapes like squares, cylinders, spheres and how it can manipulated as a form.
How to convert forms from basic shapes in to many forms and then to iterate them beacuse form keeps getting beautifies or evolved only when it is iterated.
How by basic sketching we can iterate simple forms to start visualising the variations and beauty it can be create from with which we cn actually learn form generation and study
How to add colours and elements to make look like solid forms and gives some attributes
How to convert 2D forms to 3D forms and visualise the same
How to generate forms in material like wood and thermocol and study them for form manipulation and radii manipulation how to present them.
How to generate with the visual expression arrived from the bike to air automobiles and make a 3D form out of it
Learning about the form addition, form subtraction, form integration in depth by inserting the cube 67 times and seeing the final outcome
