Lego Toy Miniature Display Set

We're down to our final assignment woots and it's the grandest one yet. After seeing our seniors' works, we're pumped to make something epic so we're determined to do our best.

We're given a new client each - and apparently our lecturers gave us our characters based on our personalities. Seeing that I seem capable and strong (in terms of first impression only alright) I am assigned to create a toy display set for the world's favourite Justice League's heroin - Wonder Woman.


This is the research I've conducted on my client - her origins, weakness and strength, and her ultimate story behind her creation. Then I translate her characteristics into design elements and principles, which will be my future references for my final design.

And here's me attempting at my cube manipulation of the toy display set.





The final design and mockups




And these are my creations, finally brought to life! 

The process was quite challenging, because you need to really make sure that your cube reflects your Lego character. And also to draw your model requires a skill too (i cursed myself for making my model a bit too random so my drawing kinda suffered) but from here we learned that orthographic drawings has so many ways that can be done and the emphasis of line weight, depending on how you want to communicate your design.

Making your model is one thing. But doing your presentation boards is another. It's as important. It's a way others can understand your design better like its explanations and background stories in the form of visuals. So dear future you, please not forget that.
