Design Options

How do you go from idea to concept?

How can you convey your grand plans for how it will fit together and look?

Within design engineering the answer normally lies in sketches, and as such a big part of how this project will take shape is through them. A mix between an art and a science, a good sketch should both portray the overall shape and feel of the design, but also give the viewer an idea of dimensions and connections. A skill that is developed over years, not hours.

Below are some sketches of various design options for how our basketball hoop is going to look. They all have advantages and disadvantages, and it's up to us a team to discuss what is more important, practical, efficient and sustainable.

What's the answer? We don't know, but we're enjoying getting closer.
