Techniques: Instability, Color, Spontinuety, Intricacy,distortion, variation.
Techniques: accuracy, flatness, repetition, balance, symmetry, predictability,simplicity.
I am inspired by both of these toys because they were two of my favorites when I was a child. They inspired me to want to become a toy designer. Although both of these toys are successful in the market and ingenious designs, they are both very different. Top: The transformer is a very intricate toy is involves many moving parts. The toy allows a variety of distortions and variations. The transformer is also very colorful and attractive. Bottom: The etcha-sketch is much more simple. It has a simple square shape to it. The transformer, on the other, hand has bumps and curves all over it. While it has two knobs on the Etcha-sketch allows variability like the transformer, the knobs are very predictable. They turn left and right. The Etcha-sketch is also alot less colorful. It is mostly shades of white, grey, and black with a red border. The Etcha-sketch also has a 2D quality to it. It is very flat where the transformer almost forces people to see it in a 3D perspective if they want to solve it. It requires depth. Both of these toys do allow people to be creative with them because the user is allowed to choose how the toy should look. These are good examples of how much contrasts toys can have while still being successful.
