| 11/06/07- 01/25/07 1PM - 5PM Exhbition Industrial Design: Concept to Creation
The purpose of this show is to highlight the creative process that all Industrial Designers experience as they conceptualize, sketch, render and fabricate their designs. During the “ideation phase,” thoughts are transferred directly from the brain and “given life” on a piece of paper (as a concept). Original concept sketches and 3 dimensional (3-D) renderings (marker or computer aided) are all part of the 2 dimensional (2-D) design phase; the end result of this work germinates in a 3 dimensional “expression” or object.(Example: an IPod or a chair). Featuring the designs and works of Appalachian State University Faculty, Students and Alumni, this exhibit illustrates the journey that ideas take, exploring the “head to the hand” connection as objects move from conception to reality.
