Student Work Examples: Faucets

Products rarely exist on their own - a sole coffee maker, or a single chair; instead, products exist in families, groups of several products or product lines. A product family can be as robust as a dining room furniture set, or as intricately detailed as various types of wine glasses; product families are almost entirely defined by, and succeed because of their visual language. Common visual form and language can even create a visual family within an entire brand; Braun products are defined by their stark, simple and exacting form, while Oxo products are identifiable by their large, comfortable qualities and their comforting materials.

For this project, students were expected to define a visual experience that relates across a product family for a specific audience.
