For my final project, I looked to bridge the gap between the first two projects of the Aesthetics of Design course, and develop a contrasting scene through the use of multiple aesthetics. Previously, I developed a cardboard model showcasing my take of ‘the ultimate hotrod’ which referenced a hotrod aesthetic. My final project utilizes this hotrod model, as it is broken down and being pulled by a solarpunk tow truck. Although cardboard may come across as primarily a prototyping material, I thoroughly enjoyed sharpening my cardboard skills, especially as an engineer where cardboard is commonly used! By doing so, I feel that I was able to focus more on the design and aesthetic elements opposed to the manufacturing and high-fidelity of the product.
Solarpunk characteristics: integration with nature, renewable energy (solar panels), organic shapes, environment friendly, etc.
