O dizajnu Junk Paradise Zbirateljske figurice

Junk Paradise je serija zbirateljskih figuric, ki temeljijo na živalskih likih in kratkih zgodbah. Vsaka figurica prikazuje lik z majhno nepopolnostjo, ki se spremeni v igrivo moč. Ježevec Popo pripravlja pokovko, da z njo prekrije svoje bodice in lahko objame svoje prijatelje. Pelikan Sushi vodi križarjenja za opazovanje kitov za rečne ribe, ki se bojijo morja. Liki so bili oblikovani kot digitalne skulpture, prototipirani s tiskanjem iz smole in nato uliti v smolo. Vsak izdelek dopolnjujejo večplastno barvanje z razpršilom in ročno naslikane podrobnosti.

Proizvodna tehnologija: The project began with narrative development and character design, where stories and characters were explored through sketches and storyboards. The characters were then translated into digital 3D sculptures using ZBrush. Prototypes were realized through resin 3D printing, followed by curing, hand sanding, and surface refinement. Then the pieces are casted with resin. Final pieces were completed through layered spray painting to create depth and gradients, complemented by hand-painted details.
Oblikovalski izziv: The main challenge was translating the concept of imperfection into forms that remain visually appealing and emotionally engaging. By exploring subtle asymmetry, irregular details, diverse poses, and nuanced facial expressions, the project seeks to express character and narrative while maintaining aesthetic harmony, allowing users to intuitively connect with the pieces.
Raziskave: This project is grounded in a reflection on the societal pursuit of perfection and explores how design can celebrate individuality through imperfection. By translating this concept into character driven forms, the research investigates how subtle variations, emotional cues, and story telling can foster empathy and self acceptance. The work aims to create a space where users can recognize value in difference and connect with these characters that reflect diverse ways of shining.
Inspiracija: My inspiration comes from my daily observation of friends and wild animals. I like noticing the small imperfections in people and how they deal with them in their own ways. By using animals and their natural traits, I turn these observations into characters and stories about friendship, imperfection and being comfortable with who you are.
Trajanje projekta: The project started in April.2019 in Los Angeles and was completed in Aug 2019 in Los Angeles. Later the project was exhibited at Lightbox Expo in Los Angeles, Designer Con in Vegas and CTN in Burbank.
Potek delovanja: Junk Paradise creates a story-driven interaction that invites users to step into its world through observation, touch, and imagination. Defined by bold forms, expressive character design, and refined hand-crafted execution, each piece invites users to engage through subtle details and visual cues that suggest personality and narrative. The experience remains open-ended, allowing users to interpret, collect, and build personal connections, gradually revealing a quiet celebration of imperfection.
