Practice Your Prototyping Skills and Win $100
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
Quickly building low-cost prototypes is a great way to test design concepts especially early in the innovation process. I’ve seen robust insights developed from on-the-spot mock ups created from simple materials. One of my favorite materials for doing this is Play-Doh. That’s why the 1 hour design challenge: Play-Doh kicks on Core77 caught my eye.
“Your task is to recreate or reinterpret your favorite pair of shoes in play-doh, in one hour or less. Cut loose and give your imagination a stretch. Maybe you’ll create a miniature tribute to your favorite sneaker designer of all time. Or, honor your humble, beat up kicks by sculpting their likeness, busted soles and all.”
Grand prize includes a $100 gift certificate. If nothing else you get to practice your prototyping skills to see if you can demonstrate the soul of a shoe in clay in a hour or less.
