visual research
I visited the Strong Museum of Play during Canstruction 2024 and used it as a basis of my research for this project.
orthographics
The play system is for kids, so I decided to base it on the landscape drawings I used to make as one.
β
After extracting the components, I made vector orthographics to note down their scale relative to each other.
building blocks in context
3D modeled on Blender and used Blenderkit's fabric material to add a soft, woven fabrication to the objects. The main objective was to make them look like cushions you could bump your head against and come out laughing (as a 4 year old, of course).
