In Class Exercise week 7

Following Tuesday's class 'dot design' was given a chance to understand the bicycle concept on a real level sense. This task was productive giving members a sense where change of direction was needed, not only on the frame but also on thickness, size and location of where the important components of a standard bicycle lay.

Refinement / Development

Scanning some of my concept boards together collaborated on an A0 style board to see how the bicycle has developed throughout the refinement stages. Toggle through the board to see different ideas and sketches.

Further Generation of Ideas

After delivering the 2 concept boards below to the class, according to the teachers my bicycle needs to head in an alternative direction. It does take the feel of a 'aerodrome' style bicycle and isn't really ideal to suit most demographics within Melbourne.

Having a further look and attacking some new concept sketches for Friday's class I came across these two ideas which have further sparked a new direction. Basic sketches will follow some of these bicycles to try and incorporate a new and innovative bicycle which this time can reach most demographics.



This follows a 'bmx' feel and I want to try and incorporate this laid back approach to the upcoming finalised concept. Its simple in design, yet suits all needs within the Melbourne society.

Concept Boards

Our team members comprising of Ben McFadyen, Matthew Bull & Josh Tilley decided on dividing the 6 Concept Boards into 2 each per member. We found that doing this would give a different flare to the bicycle design, infrastructure design and helmet concepts. Shown below is some concepts that I have disected from my concept generation and put together to form 2 bicycle designs.
