CONCEPTUAL HELMET DESIGN
The Unknown Helmet is a core component of a comprehensive world-building initiative. This multidisciplinary project brought together Industrial, Transportation, and Graphic Design disciplines to conceptualize a cohesive future-world ecosystem. By integrating these diverse design perspectives, our team developed a unified design deck that demonstrates how cross-functional collaboration drives complex, conceptual storytelling from ideation to final realization.

OVERVIEW
The Unknown Helmet is a core component of a multidisciplinary world-building initiative. Integrating Industrial, Transportation, and Graphic Design perspectives, our team conceptualized a cohesive future ecosystem defined by the clash between primal survivalism and authoritarian control. This project serves as a case study in synthesizing diverse design disciplines to build believable, future-forward narratives.
PROBLEM
Build a world that has users that can use products + designs from all disciplines.
GOALS
Design a functional, multi-purpose helmet that bridges the gap between ancient survival traditions and advanced, tactical concealment to empower rebels.
ACTION
Address tactical needs, resulting in a design deck that bridges speculative world-building with rigorous, user-centered industrial design principles.
DISCOVER
World Building Story
Benchmarking
We decided we wanted this to be a futuristic world similarity to the Star wars Universe. We needed to consider what the character models look like to determine design and eventually we felt a helmet was a great protective tool for the citizens in our world.
IDEATION
Initial research revealed a strong user demand for personalized, highly adaptive interior environments. Participants expressed a clear preference for interfaces that move beyond the static, 'tablet-like' aesthetic of contemporary touchscreens in favor of intuitive, responsive architectures that cater to individual usage patterns.
Sketching
Modeling & Prototypes
This project was mostly in a 2D realm, however i took the time to also create a 3D prototype has an additional exploration on physical building and using materials that are easily accessible.
