A work-in-progress prototype for a set of exterior wall hanging tiles.
I started first with a visual brainstorm, working on form and style. The vision was to create a heavy font style built from simple curves and angles for a modern, minimalist visual language.
Draft studies for various forms.
Continued exploration, building patterns and relationships to create a system.
Concept sketch showing mounting options.
Further refinement of numbers using digital vector art.
I moved on to hand-crafting a prototype from clay. Using slabs, I transferred the sketches to the clay before carefully cutting out the following tests.
Physical prototype of two numbers.
The backsides of each tile feature a chiseled indentation that can be used to hang each tile.
