Goal

The Mahjouba II installation requires documentation and visualisations to showcase its interior design and assembly to the general public at the Design Museum in London. As a guiding aesthetic, 3D components and exploded renders should emulate the minimalistic style used in IKEA installation manuals.

Context

Mahjouba II is the second of a series of prototypes to build an electric motorbike made primarily using African craft in combination with 3D printing for the Moroccan market.

A primary goal for this design is that it can be domestically built and inexpensively maintained using only craft components or readily available “off-the-shelf” parts. This prototype aims to deliver a more robust and cheaper 2-seater counterpart to the original prototype, making use of less stringent road regulations for light electric transport.

Constraints

• Prototype Availability: The motorbike is owned by the London Design Museum awaiting display. There is only a weekend available to disassemble the model for reference photography and measurement.

• Non-photorealism: visualisations should continue to use the instruction manual NPR aesthetic developed in the original project.

Criteria

• Visual Appeal: A good design should be aesthetically pleasing whilst maintaining a clear and consistent aesthetic across all output.

• Accuracy: Good renders will represent each component's dimensions and how they fit together, as faithfully to the prototype as possible.

• Simplicity: Visualisations should clearly showcase how the prototype is assembled to as wide of an audience as possible.

• Flexibility: All output could be used across a wide variety of mediums including posters, leaflets and instruction manuals with reduced colour palettes.
