PADEL CONCEPTS
For a quick exercise I created a mood board to use as inspiration for three padel concepts. The goal here is to show my thinking around how inspiration can translate into concepts. This mood board could easily be replaced by different trends or inspiration to yield vastly different concepts.
INSPIRATION
For these concepts I pulled inspiration images of sliced forms, and wrapping surfaces and textures.
Concept 1
This concept features a large variable chamfer wraps the head of the padel while a texture reveal is uncovered around the throat.
Concept 2
This concept utilizes sliced forms that are emphasized by texture breaks. The sliced form around the head of the padel could potentially be a performance benefit by decreasing the radii around the hitting surface creating a larger hitting zone.
Concept 3
An overall soft form on the head of this concept is contrasted by a sharp break that wraps from the outside to the inside of the throat. This break in the form presents color blocking opportunities.
