Continued What If? Metropolis Thumbnails: Refining the egg

Thumbnails 31 and 32, an improved look at some of my digital designs for an egg based city, and a look at a simplified building for the lower class of the city.

These thumbnails look into the egg design of the original Fabergé  in order to see how they would look for the design of the Metropolis. I don't think it is necessary to create every building to be a perfect egg. One idea I liked that suited the egg design, however, was the idea of an automata-powered 'surprise' that would serve to be the interior or form a part of the city. Working digitally, helped with experimenting and picking out colour. 

Product design: mini design project

To prepare us for our production design part of the What If? Metropolis project, we were set a small exercise to get a good idea what production design is about. We picked out one animal/plant and were tasked with using that as a design element to come up with a design of an object what we also picked. These are different variations of a Stag Beetle Carriage , first using realistic colours but moving on to outlines and simplistic colours.
