The Skill

Rapid Modelling

Throughout most design processes I undertake, a form of modelling is common. Most commonly, this is manifest as to-scale models, allowing me to check sizing and the location of key elements such as buttons and switches. If possible, I like to create multiple variations and get a range of users of different sizes to give feedback, to ensure its suitability for all.

3D Prints & Cardboard Models

Recently, I have enjoyed using the 3D printers made available at my university, particularly their ability to create a high level of surface details.

However, throughout my time at university cardboard models have been far more readily available, whilst still providing me with excellent insight and points to improve.
