Pressure Gauge
Disciplines: Industrial Design
Tools: Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, Keyshot, Procreate, PrusaSlicer
Time: 4 weeks
This was a self-initiated project to redesign a digital tire pressure gauge in the design language of The James Brand. The aim was to disassemble, analyze and refurbish the components of a digital tire pressure gauge as an industrial design exercise.
Brand Identity
The James Brand is a Portland, OR-based knife and everyday-carry company whose target audience is the essence of a hip, modern outdoors person.
Their products embody functional simplicity, premium materials, thoughtful details, and modern elegance.
Design Analysis
I studied the feature characteristics that represent the design language as inspiration to start my design process.
Disassembly + Analysis
I disassembled and analyzed a pressure gauge to identify the integral components. I sought to use the same specs of each component for the rebuild process.
Prototype
After sketching many ideas, I developed 6 concepts through CAD and prototypes to identify which design felt the best.
