Right… so where should we start? First post.
Hello, my name is Chee, and I am an industrial designer.
In this post I will share some materials, stories and process during the development of the Ubuntu Edge.
We started off by pulling the key elements of the Suru theme, and expanded on that, in order to explore the transition from a digital user experience, to a physical one.
Once the rough ideas were formed, the fun part started, as we dived right into visualising the concepts; Pencils, sketching pads, markers, clippings, samples, colour chips and anything else interesting.
After several rounds of refinement and fine-tuning, we pressed forward with what we have now today as the Ubuntu Edge. From a rendering to visualize the Ubuntu Edge, to one that sit in front of us.
I hope you enjoy reading through the process, and lets make it a reality.
