Sketching Ideation
Posted by Iris Orkun

Last week, I worked on sketching The Stomper based on Gracelyn's original drawing and our conversations; I kept the original color scheme and request for polka dots and glitter. I made sure that when using the shoe, the sole would be able to communicate with anyone wearing The Stomper.  The upper is snug but breathable and stretchy, so it can be easily worn in various situations.

First Design Ideation Meeting

Gracelyn and I discussed the Stomper’s logistics and how it would interact in various environments. I took notes on her vision for the shoe and here’s what stood out to me: The Stomper can be bought as a high or low top, depending on the users preference. It can be used in sports teams to communicate with each other if needed, during practice and in games. It has a different vibration type through various terrain, while still being able to communicate through all weather conditions. They are durable shoes with straps securing the foot, and the bigger the stomp, the stronger they communicate to others with the same shoe. It’s a great idea for those who can’t communicate verbally, and for people who must communicate through long distances. It was a great and informative chat overall!
