creative strategy
smooth
colorful
ergonomic
process
initial renders
i decided to change how tich connects from snaps to embedded magnets later on, the magnetic snaps could become a choking hazard for kids.
color studies
i started with some color studies to experiment with color combinations, the original color scheme was too intense, while keeping a fun toy feel.
