Stop Motion Developments


These following photos show the main developments i made throughout the later part of my clip when i went back over it and edited a few things.

To add more of a realistic look to it i made the keys that the finger pushes colored in as if he was actually pushing it down rather than just hovering the finger over it. this also shows that he is actually pushing the button too.

I also did the same concept to the end of it. Although there is no hand at this point it shows that the buttons are being pressed and typing the words. Further more the buttons that are being pushed are those of the actual keys being used.

I chose to add this after originally stopping my clip at the quote because all through the video it shows the development and how things have only gotten better and better trying to out do the previous model etc. I strongly believe that people just wait for the newest and up to date model and expect the next thing to be better so i thought this quote was appropriate to end it.

Storyboard

This is my Storyboard concept for my Stop Motion Clip showing the evolution of the apple computer and the main changes made to the aesthetics.

300 Words Outlining My Design Standpoint

The aesthetics and function of a product is the main driver behind the appeal of any kind of product to a consumer. If it looks nice and makes u want to use it due to its aesthetic appeal then the producer is doing something right. Along with this aesthetic appeal is the function of it and if it is easy to use and work with too. My standpoint on industrial design after group discussions also is that over time many products have come and gone but the good ones that have stayed have changed dramatically in form, function and aesthetics. So I am looking at the way in which these products have evolved and changed and in particular the Apple Macintosh computers. The way products are constantly changing and bringing out better and better models of itself is very rapid and I chose Apple in particular because of the numerous changes, small and major that have contributed to the ideal Imac we see on our shelves today.

"We wanted to get rid of anything other than what was absolutely essential, but you don't see that effort. We kept going back to the beginning again and again. Do we need that part? Can we get it to perform the function of the other four parts?” (Ives. n.d) A quote from Jonathan Ive, who is the senior industrial designer at Apple Inc just defines and shows further that the change from the massive box type computers we used to use to the now very slim screens with built in hard drives is a way of refining a product to be as functional easy to use for the user as well as having the aesthetic appeal still.

Individual Brainstorm

This is my individual brainstorm on industrial design following the group brainstorm that was done in our studio session.
