When I get tired of the bluelight, I resort to my sketchbook. It’s calming yet a humbling experience. There’s neither a ‘ctrl+z’ nor any demands for perfection. A meditative state.
In this state, I try to draw the ordinary. A hand holding a sign. A minimalist version of it. What directions do the knuckles point? Should I draw the fingernails? Why am I even drawing this? But I do it anyway- hoping that this would look better once I fix it… in the bluelight. I am tired again.
The poster
To be honest, I just wanted to experiment with a different shape (sketch 1) and how that could be used to make a creative label or a sign. Later, I sort of improvised on the design and ended up with this comical poster. I was not proud of it fully and knew there is something more to it. So as I am writing this, I made this:
I truly believe there are more possibilities to this design. This could be used in a way-finding or an identity design system, or totally something else.
Inza Galaxies : A Car Tray.
Since we last left here, I have been learning SolidWorks and it’s been hard. Being in a blender environment for so long, it’s hard to switch gears and learn other 3d interface. But we are getting there (i think).
The Observable Universe
I love Suzuki Jimny’s. They have the perfect rounded corners and the shape feels so appealing. Recently I read about ‘shapes in character design’ and I think it applies to automotive design too:
Lastly, this Instagram reel is a must watch if you’re a Jimny fan!
The Unknown
Saw this on Pinterest. I don’t think we appreciate maps enough. I would want to make one (or lots) someday. It would be a great challenge!
Thank you for reading! I hope first month of the year wasn’t too rough. Cheers to February! 🙂
