Case Study

Technical Illustration — KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper

Audience

Women aged 30-55 who love to cook. For them, concise visual information and attractive images will help them create a good impression of the product.

Project Objective

  • Demonstrating product shape, color, material, and specific levels of detail through technical illustration.
  • Let the audience easily understand the features of the product from the illustration.
  • Creating pleasing visuals to appeal to intended audience.
  • Boost the sales of the product.

The Process

Project Features

  • Showcase product’s feature highlights, such as detachable parts, pulse/on button, chop/puree selection lever, and power cord wrap.
  • Enlarge product details to emphasize feature highlights.
  • For advertising purposes, instead of naming and annotating each part of the product, focusing on the conciseness of the information and just annotate a few enlarged details.
  • Trying to create pleasing visuals through personalized illustrations, colors, and layout.
  • Soft and slightly feminine colors to match the product’s character and please the target audience.

Challenge

  • Accuracy and Precision: Converting a plan view to an isometric view requires careful observation, thought, trial and modification.
  • How to fit illustrations with the ad: Coming up with the slogan, adding appropriate content, and changing the layout.
