With my robot captain, I chose 2
silhouettes that I thought I could create some decent deign variations from.
After getting feedback and opinions from tutors I chose a silhouette that had a
more square stature and one with a much more round stature.
I started iterating based on what
I’d learnt from my exploration sketches. I kept in mind trying not to overwhelm
the design as a whole with too much going on at all times, but it was very easy
to get carried away with sketching hard surfaces. I also kept in mind adding
elements of A-symmetry although I knew this could be brought in with colour so
it wasn’t my immediate concern.
I created 3 variations of each
silhouette, trying to really change up how the whole robot is structed in each
design whilst still abiding by the silhouette. I feel as though the square
robot is closer to how I envision a robot captain to be. I do like the round
robot and I really like the second design but I felt that the overall shape was
a bit too exaggerated for its purpose- no matter the design it all read as a
bit too cartoon-ish for my liking. The square robot had an element of
intimidation from its designs which was what I wanted. Out of those 3 I quite
like the first one because it read as a bit more of a composed captain that can
definitely be a perfect weapon but also be in control of itself. The other two
designs felt more unhinged which I didn’t want the captain to be.
From this I’ll play around with
some values and start creating iterations of the design in colour.
