In this assignment it was tasked to create a 3D metamorphosis animation, in which there is the option to choose from a different theme to take in approach. In this instance, the idea of an industrial machine that has been designed for a specific purpose is the option of choice. To begin, it is imperative to undertake some research into the topic and subject. The term ‘Metamorphosis’ comes from the attribute given to insects and certain creatures that undergo a change to their physiology, the most notable of which would be the life cycle of a caterpillar. Although the specifics are still debated, Bishop et al (2006) collaborated to discuss a potential reference for the term. This reflects how its use in language has adapted to represent something going through a change. To help visualise this concept there are two examples provided of existing 3D animation pieces that encapsulate the metamorphosis aspect. The most significant of the two is the advert for the beer, in this is a classic example of how conceptual design can encompass this metamorphosis theme, shown by the fruit being replaced by the glass bottles of the beverage, the implication is that it provides a fresh organic drink to the consumer. This implication is a heavy basis of the conceptual design aspect that comes with a metamorphosis topic. Focusing on an industrial design influence and inspiration there needs to be an acknowledgement of the corresponding relationship between the two subjects. Tjalve (2015) states in their book “A short course in industrial design” after analysis of various products and their functionalities and the reasoning behind the design. That the final product depends on different factors; the idea and the criteria that decides that idea. In this they write about a design and how it aims to achieve a solution, the result becoming the journey of navigating those solutions. With this acknowledgement the initial idea that transposed is a conceivable upgrade to the post box. A standard post box within the United Kingdom is only capable of taking letters, with this idea it would be upgraded to not only be capable of taking parcels as well, but is suited for the subsequent analysis and packaging of the item before taking the parcel. To further explain it would aim to solve the problem and become a quality of life solution to the ever growing mail and delivery service, by offering a friendly and easy to use system. It will take an item, package it, label it, and post it through an efficient sorting system.
