Statement

Find your market segment and specify the controller, explore customer profile, user experience and expectations, form language, material and colour.

Assemble and present the findings together with your concept conclusion (hypothesis). Two must haves are that the product includes a screen and some dials or buttons interacting with each other and controlling some object or process.

Develop your design through intense sketch work and create an interface design and orthographic views before starting your 3D model. You are not allowed to start a 3D model before the design development has been completed.
