Atlas, Ryan Langeveld, Jordan Kissinger

Program of Industrial Design Capstones

Rucking, a form of weight training centered around the use of a bag, is a new, niche market whose demographic is under-served with gear that does not provide features necessary for the best rucking experience. Atlas embodies human-centered design, incorporating features and performance ruckers need for an uncompromising experience.

Switchback 1.2, Dan Alderfer, Max Munao

Program of Industrial Design Capstones

Adventure photography is about going out and getting that shot that you can show people and blow them away. Currently, there are no bags that address the needs of an adventure photographer in the rigorous setting that they encounter. The Wanderer focuses on accessibility, protection and weight distribution, and is designed so you can retrieve your camera, grab the quick shot, and stow the camera away, all without the hassle of digging through your bag.

Client-Driven Creation & Professional Patterns In Modern Design: A Case Study Of One Vanderbilt Avenue, Joshua J. Schmitz

Theses and Dissertations

Design, though intricately tied to art through craft, concept and media, is the base converse of art. That is to say, Design is externally motivated by a client’s needs. This case study focuses on my professional work with the companies of S.L.

The exhibition stemming from …
