Diving Suit Design Approach

While making drawing these various designs of the Crew Member´s diving suit I tried to visualise certain parts:

_ very technical suit versus much more organic looks

_ to incorporate the glowing ‘energy lines’ into the suit

_ gadgets such at the oxygen tank, foldable nautilus shaped helmet and weapon

 

The final costume design is not yet determined, but after talking to team WISEHA we were able to decide on certain features that Captain Nemo and his crew have in common. The clothes must be made from the same kind of fabric and texture. Also the basic suit is going to look the same – meaning a onsie! The characters will differ from one another through all the additional attachments on the garment.

Due to these decisions the final design is shaping and I will post news on that soon!

About Henriette

I´m Henriette. I am in my 4th semester of my product design studies at the Bauhaus University, Germany. I am also a blacksmith. This semester is special though, because design and technology are coming together. As an interdisciplinary team we will create an interactive costume for the stage! To actually make this happen many of our divers skills are needed and that makes me quite excited about this project.
