Scope
I began this project with the intention of designing a desktop PC. After an in depth look into the market, I discovered a unique opportunity in pc gaming and decide to explore it further. In the end, I ended up designing a mobile graphics card for laptops and tablets.
The PC gaming culture is currently centered around desktops. Desktops are the go to gaming platform because they are powerful and upgradeable. People who prefer a mobile gaming experience are often forced to turn to gaming laptops, which are bulky, loud and often expensive. In reality, the laptops and tablets that most people like to use are just not powerful enough for high end gaming.
Process
Research
*GFC Intelligence
Development Platform (%)
*GDC, ESA
Hardware
PC Market share (%)
Desktop Sales Actual (Million Units)
*IDC
* Although the figures referenced here are representative of industry trends, they are not meant to be absolute. I don't believe, for instance, that desktops are becoming obsolete. The numbers were registered are meant to point me in the right direction.
Conclusions

Gaming Cues
Because GPU needed to appeal to a new market, I wanted to avoid some of the cues from the PC industry. I wanted my product to... and so I explored the concept of super normal.

Overview
The Lo light is a high-bay fixture designed to be ... I really liked this project because it forced me to really think about the interior architecture of Lighting fixtures, which in turn, drove the overall form of the product. This project was the second of two lights I designed for a sponsored project. The first one can be seen here.
Lighting environment
One of the Conditions of this project was to design a Light for a specific setting. By choosing an setting beforehand, I was able to outfit my design for a more likely user and determine the pain points that would arise in said lighting environment. I Used the Business Instructional Facility at the University of Illinois as a model. I chose to focus on Business and Educational Settings.
Ideation
My final result was a pendant that stretched in form in order to accommodate the LED Driver. Key benefits include:
Next Level Visuals
Simplified Maintenance
Simplified Installation
Features
Features
When I set out to determine the form of my light, I kept ease-of-installation installation in mind. Here the mechanism for removing the lense is simple, using a magnet.

Inspiration
The resulting Juicer was inspired by the hyperbolloid forms sometimes found in Architecture. I was particullarly drawn by the Tornado Tower in Doha. The building maximizes vertical space, while creating negative space around it.
The resulting negative space yielded by the Juicer would create more room for the drafted containers that go in a refrigerator
