EP: Crispin Orthotics - Design

After some initial research I set about making my design for an ankle orthotic. As stated I wanted to have a futuristic/sports feel to the piece so began by making a hexagon based pattern design inspired by my research.




After completing this I intended to place it on the back of the orthotic where the calf would be. However I thought, with it being the calf, why not mimic the muscle somewhat and have the hexagons fit in in a similar arrangement. So I readjusted the piece.



Following this, I applied to the design to a mock-up orthotic I had created and produced an additional array of colours for the design;



Whilst quite a simple design, I feel it is effective. If I were to need orthotics I would wear this design, thought that comment ultimately means little.
