Dude this was awesome!! I love how deep into the Industrial Design process this really dives. Those concept sketches, the ethnographic research, it's really a designer dream come true. I'm really excited to see how the rest of this series shapes up!
I became a designer in large part because of Lego and Bionicle. The Toa showed up on Mata Nui when I was 6, the absolutely perfect timing to just hook me in - but I think even as a kid I could understand, or at least appreciate, some of the design that went into it. Can't wait to see more.
