| Course Objectives: | The designed toys must be thought of as real products, therefore some assets will be important on the course of this study, such as size, packaging, buyer profile, originality of your theme, visual design, and play value. There will be many angles of approach to this subject, so feel free to explore different type of toys, including architectural, designer, educational toys, and others. Also, think of your toy in terms of production and proceed carefully not to over-design or overshoot your goals in the end-product. A more simplified approach is strongly advised. |
| Course Content: | Toy Product Design is a course exploring the sub-culture of toys in commercials, arts & design, recent and far history; their impacts on popular culture media such as films, cartoons, and video games. By exploring these elements students will design a toy that is original within its own world, theme, and mood. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) The designed toy must be original in its own style, theme, and world. Absolutely no fan art is allowed. Also no vehicle designs, unless you have an original idea. The references must be included in your presentation, if you were inspired by an existing product. 2) Grading will focus on assets such as the originality of your product, its theme, play value, packaging, and compatibility with the product, as well as the cleanliness of your presentation 3) Since this semester is online, your product will not need to be produced in any type of prototype form. Those who want to produce a prototype are welcome to do so, but this will not affect your grade in any way. |
