DESIGNING MOVEMENT:
An Aesthetic Investigation of Motion in Product Design

Through this thesis project, I sought to add beauty and interest to products by investigating the ways in which movement can be designed. While product designers have several techniques and tools at their disposal to improve the appearance of things, when it comes to how an object moves through space, designers are somewhat at a loss. Over the last year, I have developed methods of sketching kinetic concepts and a working vocabulary to discuss them.
