Displaying shoes in a way that makes sense

My inspiration for this project came from me thinking about how some shoe designs only look appealing when they are worn on the foot. In order to combat this in a retail setting, I designed a shoe display that presents the shoe in a way that closer resembles how they would look on foot.

Designing in Fusion360 with realistic dimensions was a fun challenge that allowed me to gain a better understanding for how fit into space. I spent lots of time measuring furniture in my house so that I had a realistic understanding of how big the shoe display should be.

Putting my models into finished renders allowed me to see my design in a completely different light. It helped me see all the different things I could add to bring it to the next level. If I had more time to work on this in class, I would’ve gone back into the AutoCAD phase so that I could add things such as more rounded edges or additional geometric components so the seating area felt more welcoming.
