DESIGNING MOVEMENT: An Aesthetic Investigation of Motion in Product Design
Introduction:
This website describes my work to create greater aesthetic unity in the design of products, which I began as part of a Master’s Thesis in Industrial Design at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.
My goal is to add beauty and interest to products by investigating the different ways that movement can be designed. While designers have numerous techniques and tools at their disposal to improve the appearance of objects, when it comes to creating ways for objects to move through space, designers are often at a loss.
To remedy this problem, I have developed methods for sketching kinetic concepts and a working vocabulary to discuss them. What you will find recorded here are my initial investigations into this approach to product design.
