Project Type: Product Design
Overview
This project focuses on redesigning a football with improved aesthetics, surface texture, and functional performance. The goal was to create a visually engaging and high-performing design through an iterative process combining research, sketching, modeling, and rendering.
Design Process
- Research & Analysis – Reviewed existing football designs, materials, and performance standards.
- Sketching & Concept Development – Explored various patterns and panel configurations.
- Surface & Texture Refinement – Focused on grip, motion visibility, and tactile quality.
- Prototype & Feedback – Built 3D panel models, refined through critique and testing.
- Final Design – Balanced visual appeal with functional features like panel shape and bold contrast.
Tools Used
- SolidWorks – 3D modeling of panel structures
- KeyShot – Rendering of final visuals
- Adobe Illustrator – Graphic exploration and pattern design
- Hand Sketching – Initial concepts and shape studies
