Daniel Woods

I examined the angles and contour lines of the TDI. I sketched out very basic shapes with a photo of the car as my underlay. From there, I sketched more than 20 key fobs. I tested several different manufacturer’s keys and investigated users’ likes and dis-likes. The main complaint was user error concerning the panic button. Once accidentally pressed, it is very hard to stop. After completing my research, my final design is an ergonomic, contemporary key that any Volkswagen owner would appreciate. It features four main buttons (instead of three), a recessed panic switch and a brushed nickel bezel for a modern contrast.
