Role:
Lead Designer
Responsibilities:
-Plastic Design
-Plastic Engineering
-Product Renders
-Communication with Disney and Lucas Films
-Quality Control
Challenges:
-Maintaining a cohesive brand look for a licence that is arguably the most scrutinized license in history was no easy task. I had to do considerable research for the look of the product including referencing the original Lucas blueprints from the first trilogy.
-While user testing we discovered the spring that swung the arm and pressed the pieces together was to strong and ruining gameplay. It took countless iterations to balance the weight of the plastic pieces and the strength of the spring.
