STAND POINT: INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

Industrial Design is everywhere.

I believe Industrial Design (ID) is the heart and soul of almost all design. ID provides a new way of seeing throughout the design process when taking an idea/concept and translating this into an object. ID takes the designer through a unique path exploring all ideas, concepts and new ways of seeing their original design. It is a continuous development curve which will continue to change and surprise along the way. Essentially ID is a form of problem solving, in which the designer looks for a solution.

I have implemented this view into my stop motion video ‘The Clip’ by combining my passion of skating, “A new way of seeing”, and my Industrial Design major. My clip shows the process and production behind the manufacturing of a skateboard through a different perspective. I have combined the general idea of the process of skateboard design with a unique collage and set of visuals which symbolise the human creation aspect of the entire process (use of hands). The clip abstractly shows every step of the design challenge in skateboard production; concept/idea, computer design, physical manufacturing (skate press), right through to the use of the finished object itself. The collages used are to help understand all aspects of this process and how every step is as important as the last. Using Photoshop I have edited every frame individually to really express “A new way of seeing”. Each frame expresses this statement with a semi-real, out-of-proportion frame. The use of hands and real life characters symbolize the idea that people are behind the actual process and it would be impossible with their ‘hand’ (excuse the pun).
