Background:

Design an in-demand audio product that fits a brand's identity.

For this project, I chose to design a gaming headset for Skullcandy.

To get things started, I took a look at Skullcandy's already existing products to get a feel for their identity.

I also researched their values and target market.

CREATOR

EVO

Based on the market, I chose to design the gaming headset for online streamers.

To begin thinking about form, I took apart a gaming headset to understand the necessary components.

This helps me consider placements of parts when designing.

After sketching many different concepts that fall under Skullcandy's brand identity, I settled on one that embodies the brand the most.

I explored designs with different shapes, logo placements, and interactions.

After developing my design in CAD, I 3D printed all of the parts.

After spray-painting the parts and adding materials, I assembled a physical model.
