CHALLENGE
Develop orthographic and mechanical drawings to outline a products physical design, features and color through to sample revision
I began with this concept sketch I created in Illustrator to get an idea of the overall character, proportion and color.
MXS is a Motocross line of action figures and motocross bikes from Jakks Pacific. Using the concept drawing provided by Jakks Pacific, the challenge was to create control drawings outlining the basic features and dimensions for the engineering team.
Starshine Watchdogs was a project that I personally helped conceptualize, in addition to providing character design and product development. The challenge was to provide our manufacturer with mechanical drawings for the plastic components, as well as assist in making revisions to the plush characters.
To aid in the sample making process, we would provide revised artwork to help improve the next round of samples. Picking new colors based on available swatches and photoshopping sample photos usually provided the most successful revisions.
The plastic and electronic components needed control drawings to outline the forms and deco locations.
